So What Is

Good to know before IVF treatment in Turkey

In Turkey, the donation of eggs, sperm and embryos is strictly prohibited by law, and surrogacy is not allowed.
Only married couples can participate in artificial insemination treatment in Turkey
Although there is no age limit for these treatments by law, some clinics do not treat women over 46 years of age.
For women younger than 35, only one embryo may be transferred in the first and second cycles, while three embryos may be transferred in the third cycle.
For women older than 35, transfer of 2 embryos is allowed in the first cycle.
Clinics can keep the embryos for 10 years, but you must provide a valid reason for this request. This applies, for example, to cancer patients and women with limited ovarian reserve.
PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) and PGD (aneuploid screening) are allowed, but the law does not allow gender selection.
To achieve the highest possible success rate, the laboratory plays a very crucial role. Only in a healthy environment can successful fertilisation and cultivation of embryos take place.
Another crucial role is played by the experience as well as the qualification of the embryologists, who should be familiar with all modern procedures.

Aftercare

In the first 24 hours after embryo transfer, it is very important, that the woman rests. During the first day, it is expected, that the embryo implants properly in the uterus.
Stay at home in a comfortable and well-rested manner. Bed rest is not prescribed, but you should avoid heavy work, physical exertion and lifting heavy objects under all circumstances.

How many times can I do IVF within a year?
