IVF Treatment (In Vitro Fertilization)
In vitro fertilization (IVF) was first conceived in the 1930s and became a practical procedure with the first live birth in 1978. It was originally designed as a solution only for women with blocked tubes.
Today, however, it has evolved into a treatment method that offers an effective solution to many reproductive problems, including male infertility, with success rates of up to 80%.
This IVF Treatment, which involves the fertilization of eggs from the expectant mother with sperm from the father and the transfer of the resulting embryos to the woman’s uterus, has become increasingly widespread with technological and scientific advances.
5 Stages of IVF Treatment
With the guidance of Op. Dr. Alper Şişmanoğlu, explore each stage of IVF treatment in detail; from the evaluation process to embryo transfer, we offer a meticulous and individualized approach.
Patient Assessment & Preparation
In this first stage, the couples’ medical history and general health status are examined. Detailed medical examinations and necessary tests (blood tests, ultrasound) are performed and this information is evaluated for treatment planning.
Ovulation Induction
The woman’s ovaries are stimulated to produce more than one egg. With hormone therapy, the development of the ovaries is regularly monitored by ultrasound and blood tests.
Ovum Pick-Up, OPU
Matured eggs are collected vaginally from the ovaries using a fine needle under ultrasound guidance. This procedure is done with the patient’s comfort in mind.
Fertilization and Embryo Development
The collected eggs are fertilized with male sperm in the laboratory. The development of the embryos is carefully monitored for several days and their healthy development is ensured.
Embryo Transfer
The healthiest embryo or embryos are implanted into the uterus. The procedure is usually painless and does not require any special anesthesia. After the transfer, you wait for a pregnancy test.

Great doctor that by his empathy and professionalism become a great friend. Our kid Fernando is strong and kicking hard! Thank you doctor Alper!
Mr. Alper appeared before us when I had given up hope. With his correct treatment and guidance, we now have 2 children. His ability to listen patiently and reassure me every time I call is a distinct human characteristic… If you are looking for trust, sincerity and the right treatment method, you should undoubtedly choose Alper Şişmanoğlu.
Mr. Alper is a very special person. We didn’t have a child for 7 years, there wasn’t a single doctor we didn’t go to. We met Mr. Alper when we were feeling very demoralized as a result of negative in vitro fertilization attempts. Result: I have twin daughters, they are 5 years old now. In addition to his experience, I believe that his beady eyes are also a separate blessing.
Thanks to Alper Hodja, we had the baby we had been longing for for 8 years. May God be pleased with him a thousand times. He answered all our questions patiently and always welcomed us with warmth and sincerity. He sincerely answered all our questions that we asked with anxiety. May God grant everyone who wants to have a baby.
He is a very successful doctor who makes us very happy.
We came from France specifically for treatment, and in a short time I became the mother of twins, especially after coming from Saudi Arabia. To our very valuable doctor, who prayed for us in the holy land and made our prayers a reality. Best regards.
There is nothing better than going to your first meeting with anxiety and coming out with hope.. Always with your colleagues… right on the other end of the phone..

I’m glad to have you, dear doctor.. Doctor Alper Şişmanoğlu is the only person you can trust and entrust yourself to.
Doctor Alper did my myoma surgery. He is the sweetest person in the world. I had my surgery, one day later I came home and cleaned, and 3 days later I started running and exercising every day. In short, I didn’t even know if I had the surgery. This is how trusting your doctor should be.
After 3 attempts, we went to our friendly doctor and our 11-year longing for a child ended in our first attempt. Thank you endlessly, Mr. Alper…
I just said that my life has come to its final point. My Lord has given me a wonderful teacher like you. I cannot thank you enough.
