In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process of fertilization where an egg is combined with spermin vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from their ovaries and allowing sperm to fertilize them in a culture medium in a laboratory. After the fertilized egg (zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is implanted in the uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.

In July 1978, Louise Brown was the first child successfully born after her mother received IVF treatment. Brown was born as a result of natural-cycle IVF, where no stimulation was made. The procedure, developed by Robert G. Edwards, Patrick Steptoe and Jean Purdy, took place at Dr Kershaw's Cottage Hospital (now Dr Kershaw's Hospice) in Royton, Oldham, England. Robert G. Edwards, the only surviving partner, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2010.

With egg donation and IVF, individuals who are past their reproductive years, have infertile partners, have idiopathic female-fertility issues, or have reached menopause can still become pregnant. After the IVF treatment, some couples get pregnant without any fertility treatments. In 2018, it was estimated that eight million children had been born worldwide using IVF and other assisted reproduction techniques. However, a recent study that explores 10 adjuncts with IVF (screening hysteroscopy, DHEA, testosterone, GH, aspirin, heparin, antioxidants in males and females, seminal plasma, and PRP) suggests that until more research is done to show that these methods are safe and effective, they should be avoided.

Success Rates 

Average pregnancy rate for <35 age is 47.1% and live birth rate for same age category is 40.5% according to international records when it comes to IVF.

Success rate is higher than the international average records in Turkey.
