In vitro fertilization (IVF), one of the most frequently applied and successful treatment methods for prospective parents wishing to have children, has become a widespread way of having children in our country and around the world. Couples who cannot have children through natural means due to problems such as the increasing age of marriage, infertility, blockages in the fallopian tubes, and low sperm quality frequently resort to IVF treatment. Couples need to be patient and have faith during this process. Because IVF treatment is realized through specific tests, controls, and patient waiting.

What are the Stages of IVF?

Prospective mothers and fathers who want to have children visit IVF treatment centers, undergo necessary tests, and factors affecting natural conception are identified. Following this determination, some drug treatments are applied to the prospective mother to stimulate and regulate egg development. After this treatment, eggs are collected from the prospective mother. After the egg retrieval procedure, the male reproductive cells (sperms) collected from the prospective father are brought together with the eggs, and fertilization is ensured in an artificial environment. If the egg and sperm have difficulty fertilizing on their own, the method of injecting sperm into the egg may also be used. After fertilization occurs, it is expected to divide and transform into an embryo. At this stage, prospective mothers and fathers may also choose to freeze some embryos without using them. The resulting embryo is placed in the mother's uterus and its implantation is awaited. After the embryo is placed in the uterus, its development is monitored through ultrasound and tests. If there are no problems at the end of all these stages, pregnancy begins, and the mother needs to take great care of herself. She should not engage in heavy work and should pay more attention to her nutrition and mental health. The healthy communication that prospective parents establish during this process also reduces the risk of stress and negativity during pregnancy.
