IVF Treatment Process5 steps of the IVF process

  • Counseling, Communication, Transportation and Accommodation

    Counseling, Communication, Transportation and Accommodation

    Before starting the treatment, our consultants will provide you with all the necessary information free of charge, and the drugs you will use at the beginning of the treatment process, etc. is taught. In addition, we can plan everything from flight tickets, airport transfers and hotel accommodation to our patients who will come to Cyprus from abroad.

  • Stimulation of the Ovaries and Monitoring of Egg Development

    Stimulation of the Ovaries and Monitoring of Egg Development

    The factor that most affects the level of success in IVF treatment; Undoubtedly, it is the production of a large number of eggs in the female ovaries. Therefore, thanks to the drugs that we told our patient to use during counseling, the ovaries are controlled and egg development is ensured. These drugs we are talking about are injections made under the skin or into the muscle. It takes an estimated 10-12 days to control the ovaries by means of drugs. In order for you to follow the status of your egg development, ultrasound devices are checked several times and the dose of your drugs is adjusted by looking at the hormone levels in your blood, depending on the situation.

  • Collecting the Eggs

    Collecting the Eggs

    During the control of egg development, if a sufficient number of eggs are found to be mature, the eggs are injected under the skin or intramuscularly with a needle to complete the final development process. Egg retrieval is scheduled for the 36th hour after this last drug treatment. During the egg collection process, our patients can be given sedative or sleep-inducing drugs if they wish. If desired, we can also perform this procedure under complete anesthesia. The treatment process, for example, is similar to the vaginal ultrasonography applied in your egg development follow-ups. The only difference is; It is a needle attached to a vaginal ultrasonography device that is passed through the vagina and collects the eggs in the ovaries. The duration of the procedure is approximately 30 minutes. Then, fertilization is performed with sperm cells. After the egg is collected, we give the couples a rest period of 2-3 hours and discharge them from the hospital. After these stages, we give double information about the drugs to be used.

  • Laboratory Operations

    Laboratory Operations

    Just one day after the egg collection you mentioned in the previous step, the couple is informed about how many of the eggs were fertilized normally and healthily. The fertilized eggs in our laboratory are monitored in about 2 to 5 days, and when the detection is deemed appropriate, the best quality ones are selected and placed back in the womb in a certain number of times. The couple is informed in advance of when the insertion will take place.

  • Embryo Transfer

    Embryo Transfer

    Before starting the transfer process, the couple is given detailed information about the number and quality of the embryos to be transferred. The transfer method, frankly, is no different from a very simple inspection process. No medication or anesthesia is required. Before the transfer, the only thing required is for the expectant mother to drink water and fill her bladder a little. Because the transfer process is performed under ultrasonographic observation. During the transfer process, a medical thin tube loaded with embryos is passed through the cervix and placed into the uterus. Thus, the embryos are left in the uterus. If there are good quality embryos or embryos left after the implantation process, the consent of the couple is obtained and the quality embryos are frozen and stored for future use. After the transfer, the couple is sent home after resting for a while (3-4 hours) in our IVF Hospital. The expectant mother is asked to spend the day just resting. In order to support the development of pregnancy, progesterone, estrogen and/or HCG (hormone) supplementation can be started after egg collection or embryo transfer. It is possible to learn the result of the treatment with the pregnancy test performed 2 weeks after the embryo transfer. If the pregnancy test is positive, an ultrasound appointment will be made after 3 weeks to observe your baby's heartbeat.
