Critical Steps to Success: Basic IVF Stages

Successful IVF treatment requires a meticulously personalized protocol tailored to the patient’s specific condition, rather than a standard procedure. Turkish IVF specialists achieve high success rates thanks to a personalized approach. The IVF stages performed by the competent centers we partner with at AVO Clinic are as follows:

Preparation and Ovarian Stimulation

The primary goal of this stage is to retrieve multiple mature eggs instead of a single one. Specialist physicians stimulate the ovaries by applying specific medication protocols to the expectant mother. Regular ultrasounds and blood tests are performed during this process, meticulously monitoring the development of the eggs and adjusting medication dosages.

Oocyte Retrieval (OPU)

This procedure involves the retrieval of mature eggs under short-term general anesthesia (sleep state) using a special needle and guided by a vaginal ultrasound. This simple surgical procedure takes approximately 15-20 minutes, and same-day discharge is possible.

Fertilization and Advanced Laboratory Techniques

The collected healthy eggs are combined with sperm cells from the prospective father in a laboratory setting. During infertility treatment, especially in cases of severe male infertility, an advanced technique called ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is used to maximize the chances of fertilization. In this method, a single sperm cell is injected directly into the egg. Another advanced surgical solution for male infertility is the Micro-TESE procedure, performed by specialist surgeons.

Embryo Monitoring and Selection

Fertilized eggs (zygotes) are closely monitored in special incubators for 3 to 5 days to develop into embryos. This monitoring process is vital for the success of IVF treatment. The most successful IVF centers in Türkiye utilize state-of-the-art technology, allowing embryologists to select the healthiest embryos with the highest implantation potential.

Embryo Transfer and the Waiting Period

Embryo Transfer is a critical stage, usually requiring no anesthesia, where the highest quality selected embryos are placed into the expectant mother’s uterus using a special catheter. After this stage, the expectant mother is advised to rest. The exciting period of waiting begins, during which a pregnancy test will be administered. When asked how long the IVF treatment process takes, it’s important to know that this treatment typically takes 15-20 days.

Advanced Techniques That Maximize Success: The Importance of PGD

Turkish IVF treatment centers offer advanced technologies that enhance success beyond the basic stages. Specifically:

• PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis): This is the genetic testing of healthy embryos before they are transferred into the uterus. This test plays a vital role in increasing the chances of pregnancy and reducing the risk of miscarriage, especially for older expectant mothers and known carriers of genetic diseases. AVO Clinic ensures you work with competent centers that reliably implement these advanced techniques. A Trusted Experience with the AVO Clinic Difference
