In vitro fertilization is a treatment method that aims to achieve pregnancy by fertilization of male and female reproductive cells in extracorporeal conditions and then placing the fertilized egg back into the uterus.

When is IVF Treatment Performed?

For women:

• If the egg reserve is decreased
• If periods are irregular (less than 21 days, longer than 35 days, especially if there is increased weight and body hair)
• If you have a previous ovarian inflammation (pelvic inflammation)
• If you have had an ectopic pregnancy before (it may have been surgically removed or treated with medication)
• If you have had abdominal surgeries (abdominal surgeries performed for appendicitis, bowel or any other reason may cause adhesions and closure of the tubes)
• If there is a history of using spirals for contraception before contemplating pregnancy
• If any of the spouses has a known inherited disease
