What is IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)? What are the stages? Who needs IVF treatment?

Op. Dr. Alper Şişmanoğlu

In vitro fertilization is the process of bringing the sperm cell and egg cell together in a laboratory environment and exposing them to the fertilization process. IVF is the abbreviation of the word “In Vitro Fertilization” and it refers to the realization of the union of the sperm-egg pair in the laboratory.

We can define IVF treatment as a process that is applied to couples who cannot have children by normal means and should be managed by an expert team. In particular, raising awareness of the couple about the treatment stages is very important for the success of IVF treatment. Before starting or deciding on the application in question, it should be investigated whether it is possible to become pregnant with simpler methods.

What? How to do?

IVF TreatmentIVF Treatment;

The couple has sexual intercourse for a year in order to have a child with natural and unprotected methods, but if pregnancy does not occur, a specialist should be consulted. If the woman is older than 35, then the waiting period is 6 months. After waiting six months, an infertility specialist should be consulted for IVF treatment.

Then the specialist should investigate the infertility situation of the couple in detail. In this study, factors such as the couple’s medical history, sexual diseases, previous operations, infertility period or working environment are also investigated. For the success of IVF treatment, sperm analysis is first performed on the male candidate. In this way, sperm count and morphological characteristics are determined and their fertilization abilities are investigated. Afterwards, urological examination and other examinations can be performed if deemed necessary for IVF treatment. Female infertility is more complicated. For this reason, structures such as tubes, uterine condition, hormonal factors, fibroids and polyps are investigated. Since there are more factors that can cause infertility in women, research should be done in more detail.
