The IVF process in Turkey begins with a medical consultation. This consultation may take place remotely or in person and focuses on understanding the patient’s fertility history, general health, and previous treatments.
During the consultation, the physician reviews available medical records and discusses potential diagnostic tests. This step is essential for determining whether IVF is appropriate and which treatment approach may be suitable.
Clear communication at this stage helps patients understand the process, possible limitations, and next steps.
Diagnostic testing provides the medical information needed to design an IVF treatment plan. Tests are selected based on individual circumstances and may include hormonal blood tests, ultrasound examinations, and semen analysis.
The purpose of diagnostic testing is to assess reproductive potential, identify possible challenges, and establish a baseline before treatment begins.
Results from these tests guide protocol selection and help set realistic expectations.
Once diagnostic results are available, a personalized IVF treatment plan is created. This plan outlines the stimulation protocol, monitoring schedule, and expected timeline.
Treatment planning considers factors such as age, ovarian reserve, hormone levels, and previous treatment outcomes. Protocols are adjusted based on medical suitability rather than standard templates.
At drgonenc.com, treatment planning is guided by specialist assessment under the care of Dr. Ali İhsan Gönenç, with emphasis on patient understanding and ethical medical practice.
Ovarian stimulation involves the use of fertility medications to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Response to stimulation varies between patients and requires close monitoring.
Monitoring typically includes blood tests and ultrasound examinations to assess follicle development and hormone levels. Based on these findings, medication doses may be adjusted to optimize response and reduce risk.
Careful monitoring is essential for patient safety and treatment effectiveness.
Egg retrieval is a short procedure performed under sedation. Using ultrasound guidance, eggs are collected from the ovaries and transferred to the laboratory for fertilization.
Most patients are discharged the same day after a brief recovery period. Post-procedure guidance is provided to support comfort and recovery.
Egg retrieval timing is determined by monitoring results and medical evaluation.
After egg retrieval, fertilization takes place in the laboratory using selected techniques based on medical indications. Embryos are then monitored for development over several days.
Embryologists assess embryo growth and quality during this period. Laboratory decisions are guided by established protocols and individualized treatment planning.
Not all embryos develop at the same rate, and careful observation informs subsequent steps.
Embryo transfer is the stage at which one or more embryos are placed into the uterus. The timing and number of embryos transferred are determined based on medical evaluation, embryo development, and patient-specific factors.
The procedure is usually brief and does not require anesthesia. Patients receive guidance on post-transfer care and activity.
Embryo transfer decisions are made with attention to safety and realistic expectations.
After embryo transfer, patients enter the waiting period before pregnancy testing. This phase includes hormonal support and guidance on daily activities.
Pregnancy testing is scheduled according to the treatment plan. Regardless of outcome, follow-up communication is provided to discuss results and next steps.
For international patients, follow-up may continue remotely after returning home.
