In Vitro Fertilization
IVF in Turkey Istanbul (In vitro fertilisation) is the process of taking ovums from the mother’s ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in test tubes in a laboratory setting. The fertilized ovum and sperm form the embryo, and the resulting embryo is placed in the mother’s uterus.
Individuals who are unable to have children naturally resort to this method. This process takes two to five days and this method works best in selecting embryos. There are two types of Test tube baby. One is the natural fertilization of the ovum with sperm, and the other is the injection of the sperm into the ovum through needles.
How is IVF done in Turkey?
Before the operation, blood tests are performed for both spouses, after which it is checked whether the fallopian tubes and uterus are suitable for the woman, in addition to checking the strength and speed of the sperms in the man.
The ovaries are stimulated to produce ovums and then monitored with ultrasound. Based on the results of the tests, it is decided whether the operation will take place or not. At the beginning of the operation, the patient is completely anesthetized. Then the appropriate ovum is taken from the ovary with a simple process.
If a suitable ovum is not found, fertilization is delayed by a month in order to stimulate the ovaries and obtain a suitable ovum. Sperm is taken from the male. On average, about 100,000 sperm should be available per ovum. After that, fertilization is carried out through a special tube between the ovum and the sperm.
