Istanbul · Assisted conception
What happens from the first consultation to the waiting period, when you come in and who looks after you. Your personal assessment happens at consultation, never on a web page.
No rates, comparisons or promises; we explain the process and the people.
Our form asks for no medical detail, and our messages never name the treatment.
Doctor, embryologist, nurse and counsellor, each role described plainly.
01Treatment journey
Choose a step to see what happens, what we ask of you and how often you come in. Timings are a general guide only.
What happens this week · The start
Your doctor listens to you both and reviews earlier results; a first scan is often done at this visit.
What happens this week · Preparation
Blood tests, ultrasound and a semen analysis are done; your written treatment plan follows from the results.
What happens this week · About 10 to 12 days
Medication that helps follicles grow is taken daily, mostly at home; the dose is adjusted after monitoring scans.
What happens this week · One day
A short procedure under light sedation; you go home the same day. The embryologist updates you on progress in the lab.
What happens this week · 3 to 5 days after collection
Placing the embryo in the womb is a short procedure without anaesthesia. Regulation and your doctor set the number of embryos.
What happens this week · About 12 days
You are given a date for a blood test (beta hCG). During this wait our counsellor is there for you.
02Treatments
Which approach suits you is discussed at your first consultation, based on your results.
Prepared sperm is placed in the womb with a fine catheter around the time of ovulation.
Collected eggs are brought together with sperm in the laboratory, and an embryo is transferred to the womb.
An IVF method in which the embryologist places a single sperm into each egg.
Suitable embryos that are not transferred are stored within the legal framework and with your written consent.
The framework in Turkey. Turkish regulation permits assisted conception for married couples who cannot have children; donor eggs, sperm or embryos and surrogacy are not permitted. Any optional add-on is explained with the evidence behind it, including where that evidence is limited.
03Team and laboratory
Each role covers a different part of your care. Names and registration details are added once the team approves them.
Leads your consultation, treatment plan, egg collection and transfer.
Responsible for every laboratory step involving eggs, sperm and embryos.
Assesses the male partner and plans treatment where needed.
Teaches you the medication and follows up your appointments and questions.
Meets you alone or as a couple, at any point in treatment.
A quiet, restricted space where every step is recorded, and where your embryologist updates you directly.
04Preparing for your first visit
Tick items off as you go. Nothing is saved or sent.
Your history, earlier results and your questions. Your doctor explains options, next steps and timing; nobody expects a decision on the day.
05Glossary
Plain explanations of terms used at appointments and in reports.
No term matches this search.
06Questions
If your question is not here, ask it at your first visit or on the nurse line.
A single figure cannot describe your situation and is easily misread. Your doctor discusses your own outlook at consultation, based on your results.
It varies. The journey above gives a general guide; your exact schedule comes in writing with your treatment plan.
Turkish regulation permits treatment for married couples who cannot have children. We recommend that both partners attend the first visit.
Yes, a video call to go through earlier reports is possible. Examination and planning then follow in Istanbul.
Our form asks only how to reach you. Messages never name the treatment, and medical details are seen only by the team caring for you.
07Contact
Our nurse coordinator contacts you by the method and at the time you choose. No medical details are needed here.
