Infertility treatment with IVF
Infertility treatment with IVF is one of the most popular methods among ART treatments. The basis of different treatment methods that fall under the category of ART are all the same.

IVF, however, is somehow a representative of evolution in ART treatment methods and carrying out the fertilization process outside the womb. The low treatment risk and the high chance of success of the IVF method make this method one of the most popular methods for treating infertility. In the following, we would like to explain more about this method of in vitro fertilization, and discuss together how IVF is successful in treating infertility.
What is the IVF method?
In vitro fertilization, which is performed to treat infertility, is a method to help the growth of the fetus and the process of implantation in the pregnancy process. According to this method, the early stages of pregnancy take place in a laboratory environment, and thus the chance of experiencing a successful pregnancy increases. The duration of infertility treatment with IVF will last about one month to five weeks. During this time, the embryo grows so that it is ready to be transferred into the body after reaching a stable state.
In order to prepare the embryo seed and complete the process of infertility treatment with IVF, it is necessary to prepare the ovary to accept the embryo. For this purpose, doctors prepare the physical condition of IVF applicants to enter the artificial insemination process with the help of drugs such as gonadotropin. By taking the drugs that are prescribed to the applicant before the start of the artificial insemination process and between 14 days and the start of menstruation, her uterus will be ready for pregnancy and will not release the egg prematurely.
If this stage is done correctly, doctors can make the egg mature within 36 hours with the help of different drugs. Then, the matured egg is removed from the applicant's body to continue the IVF treatment process in the laboratory.

This process will be done during a light surgical procedure known as puncture surgery. By removing at least 15 mature eggs from the body, doctors impregnate each egg using a method called microinjection. Fertilized eggs will grow enough to be implanted in the body within 5 days. For this purpose, 5 days after the puncture operation, it is necessary to visit the hospital again to receive the embryo.
What has been said is a summary of infertility treatment with IVF. Naturally, this treatment method has its own complications from a practical and academic point of view. However, what has been said is a summary of the method of treating infertility with the help of artificial insemination in the laboratory.
