In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is one of the assisted reproductive techniques used for couples who cannot conceive naturally. In this method, the egg and sperm are brought together in a laboratory environment, and after fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus of the prospective mother.
Thanks to advances in technology and specialist physicians, IVF treatment has become a promising and safe option for many couples today.
Who is IVF Treatment Suitable For?
IVF treatment is generally recommended in the following cases:
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes in women
- Low sperm count or motility in men
- Unexplained infertility
- Advanced maternal age
- Ovulation problems (e.g., polycystic ovary syndrome)
- Endometriosis
- Previous failure of methods such as insemination
Suitability for treatment is determined by the doctor after examination and testing.

IVF success rates vary from person to person. Influencing factors include:
- Maternal age
