Having a child is one of the greatest dreams for many couples. However, some couples may struggle to fulfill this dream naturally. At this point, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) treatment comes into play. This method, applied in advanced laboratory environments, has enabled millions of couples to become parents. Healme Clinic transforms hope into reality with its cutting-edge technology and expert medical team in the field of reproductive medicine.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a procedure in which a woman’s eggs are retrieved and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting. The fertilized embryo is then transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.
The first successful IVF baby was born in England in 1978. Since then, millions of babies have been born using this method, which continues to evolve and improve every year.
At Healme Clinic, the initial consultation includes a detailed medical history, hormonal testing, gynecological examination, and sperm analysis. Based on these evaluations, a personalized treatment plan is created.
The woman receives hormone injections (FSH, LH) for 8 to 12 days to stimulate egg development. Progress is monitored regularly via transvaginal ultrasound and hormone levels.
Eggs are collected under sedation using ultrasound guidance. The procedure takes about 15–20 minutes and is typically painless.
The male partner provides a sperm sample, which is processed in the lab to isolate motile and morphologically normal sperm.
The retrieved eggs are fertilized using a technique called ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). The fertilized eggs are then monitored for 3 to 5 days until they reach the embryo stage.
Embryos are assessed for developmental quality. Healme Clinic uses time-lapse incubator systems to select the healthiest embryos for transfer.
The selected embryo is transferred into the uterus using a fine catheter. The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia. A rest period follows the transfer.
Twelve days after the embryo transfer, a blood test (beta hCG) is performed to confirm pregnancy.
Egg quality declines after age 35, which can lower the chances of success.
AMH levels and antral follicle count are important indicators of treatment success.
Reaching the blastocyst stage by day 3 or 5 is a key sign of embryo viability.
The thickness and structure of the endometrium are crucial for successful embryo implantation.
Smoking, alcohol consumption, excessive caffeine, stress, and poor diet can negatively affect success rates.
Continuous monitoring of embryo development helps identify the healthiest embryo for transfer.
Embryos are tested for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer, reducing the risk of miscarriage and genetic disorders.
Determines the most receptive time for embryo transfer, optimizing implantation success.
High-quality embryos can be frozen for future use, allowing for multiple transfer attempts from one stimulation cycle.
Prepared sperm is inserted into the uterus. It is often the first option in cases of mild infertility.
These are applied under legal regulations in specific situations.
IVF is not only a physical but also an emotional journey. Stress, anxiety, and emotional fluctuations are common. Healme Clinic provides psychological counseling services to support and uplift couples throughout the process.
Once pregnancy is achieved, close monitoring begins. Ectopic pregnancy, multiple pregnancies, miscarriage risk, and overall pregnancy progression are carefully observed. The clinic maintains ongoing communication between obstetricians and embryologists throughout the pregnancy.
Healme Clinic defines IVF success not only by results but also by the quality of care provided at every stage of the journey.
IVF is a promising and effective treatment for couples struggling with infertility. With ongoing scientific advancements, success rates continue to improve. Healme Clinic is proud to walk this path with couples, offering support, knowledge, and trust every step of the way on the journey to parenthood.
