Infertility and IVF
Infertility refers to the inability of a couple to achieve pregnancy despite regular sexual intercourse. Infertility can occur due to both male and female factors. Male factors include conditions such as sperm quality and count, while female factors can include factors such as ovarian function, uterine health or patency of the tubes.
Infertility can be based on a variety of causes, but modern medicine offers several treatment options that can help many couples solve their infertility problems.
In vitro fertilization (IVF):
IVF treatment is a reproductive technology method developed to help couples with infertility problems. This treatment involves transferring the woman’s eggs into the uterus after fertilization. The process steps are as follows:
- Egg Development (Ovulation Induction): The woman’s ovaries are stimulated to produce a number of eggs using hormone drugs.
- Egg Retrieval (Oocyte Aspiration): Mature eggs are removed from the woman’s ovaries through a surgical procedure.
- Sperm Collection and Fertilization: Sperm from the man is combined with eggs under laboratory conditions and fertilization is performed.
- Embryo Culture: Fertilized eggs are cultured in the laboratory for a certain period of time until they develop into embryos.
- Embryo Transfer: Healthy embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus. This aims to increase the chances of pregnancy.
IVF treatment can help many couples achieve pregnancy, but each case is unique and the chances of success depend on several factors. Before starting treatment, the couple’s situation is assessed and the most appropriate treatment plan is determined.
IVF treatment can be an option for couples who are often unable to achieve a successful pregnancy, but at the same time, success rates can vary depending on many factors. During the treatment process, couples should communicate regularly with their doctor and understand the treatment process.

Infertility and IVF: Frequently Asked Questions
When should we see a doctor about infertility?
Couples under 35 should seek evaluation after one year of regular unprotected intercourse without pregnancy, and women aged 35 or over after six months. If periods are irregular or there is a known problem, earlier evaluation is advised.
Which tests are performed?
Hormone tests, ovarian reserve (AMH), ultrasound and, when needed, an HSG to check the fallopian tubes are performed for the woman, and a semen analysis for the man. Treatment is planned according to the results.
What can be tried before IVF?
Depending on the cause, ovulation induction medication, cycle monitoring and intrauterine insemination (IUI) may be tried first. In cases such as blocked tubes or severe male factor, IVF may be recommended directly.
What affects IVF success the most?
The woman’s age and ovarian reserve are the most important factors. Embryo quality, the condition of the uterine lining, sperm quality and general health also influence the outcome.
How long does an IVF cycle take?
Ovarian stimulation lasts about 10–12 days, followed by egg retrieval and embryo transfer. A pregnancy test is done about 12 days after transfer. The whole process usually takes 3–4 weeks.
