Fertility Treatment Questions

What is IVF?

IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a fertility treatment where eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. The fertilized egg (embryo) is then transferred to the uterus to develop into a pregnancy.

How do I know if IVF is right for me?

IVF may be recommended if you have been unable to conceive naturally after a year of trying, or if you have specific medical conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes, severe male infertility, or unexplained infertility. A consultation with our fertility specialists can help determine the best treatment plan for you.

Are there any risks associated with IVF?

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with IVF, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple pregnancies, and ectopic pregnancy. Our team will discuss these risks with you in detail during your consultation.

What is the success rate of IVF at your office?

The success of IVF depends on age, diagnosis, egg and sperm quality, and individual circumstances. During your consultation, Dr. Koç will review your medical history and discuss your personal chances honestly.

What should I expect during the IVF process?

The IVF process involves several steps: initial consultation, ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. Each step is carefully monitored by our experienced team.

Additional Questions

What is ICSI and how is it different from IVF?

ICSI, or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, is a specialized form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This technique is often used in cases of severe male infertility.

How long does the entire IVF process take?

The entire IVF process typically takes about 4-6 weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to the embryo transfer. However, this timeline can vary depending on individual treatment plans.
