Then, if deemed necessary, urological examination and other examinations can be performed. Female infertility is more complicated. For this reason, structures such as tubes, uterine condition, hormonal factors, fibroids-polyps are also being investigated. Since there are more factors that can lead to infertility in women, the research should be done in more detail.
After the infertility problems are determined, the appropriate treatment method is started for the couple. First, the ovaries of the expectant mother are stimulated. Then, the stimulated eggs are collected when they reach the desired maturity. The collected eggs are fertilized with sperm cells taken from the expectant father and then transferred to the expectant mother’s uterus after 3 or 5 days.
The number of transferred embryos is determined as a maximum of 2 if the expectant mother is older than 35 years and the first two IVF attempts. However, if the expectant mother’s age is less than 35, only one embryo transfer is allowed in this case.
