In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technique that consists of specific stages. Although all stages are applied as a standard, how the treatment will be carried out, the medications to be used, and how the treatment is planned should be tailored to each couple. The reasons a couple may not be able to conceive are as unique as fingerprints.

Therefore, applying the same treatment to every couple can hinder success. To achieve success in IVF treatment, it is essential to first identify the problems that may cause infertility. It is important to approach both male and female patients with equal care during this assessment.

After identifying the issues, a treatment plan should be made and IVF treatment should be personalized. While some families may conceive with just supportive treatments, others may require longer processes. IVF is not always necessary for infertility treatment. In some cases, simpler methods such as intrauterine insemination may be preferred.

For example, if the obstacle to pregnancy is adhesions or polyps, treating these issues can enable natural conception. Therefore, it is very important to work with a team that accurately identifies the problems and applies the correct treatment.

Success Rates in IVF

If certain issues related to the prospective mother or father are not resolved before IVF treatment, achieving success will not be possible. Therefore, it is important to work with centers that can identify the practices that will increase success rates.

When all conditions are optimal, success rates in IVF treatment can reach up to 80%. To achieve successful results in IVF treatment:

• First, the doctor who will carry out the IVF treatment should be carefully researched and selected. A doctor who provides accurate information throughout the treatment and can empathize with the couple will enable them to participate actively in the treatment.

• To increase success rates, the treatment must be individually planned. While some patients may require microinjection for sperm collection, others may need egg freezing. A comprehensive health map should be created, and a personalized treatment plan developed accordingly.

• The prospective mother and father should remain in communication with the doctor throughout the treatment process. Details such as periods of sexual abstinence, behaviors that will increase the success of the treatment, and regular use of medications should be properly communicated between the doctor and the couple.
