How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for IVF?

A full cycle typically requires 15-20 days in Istanbul. With a split protocol, part of the monitoring can be done in your home country, shortening the stay. We plan the exact timeline with you during the online consultation.

Can I have my initial consultation online?

Yes. We review your history, previous cycles and test results in an English-speaking video consultation before you travel, so you arrive with a clear, personalized treatment plan and transparent pricing.

Is IVF in Turkey safe and regulated?

Yes. IVF centers in Turkey are licensed and regularly audited by the Ministry of Health, and laboratory standards in accredited centers are comparable to Western Europe. Note that by law, treatment is available to married couples using their own eggs and sperm.

IVF Treatment in Istanbul, Turkey: Success Rates, Process and What to Expect

Why Do Patients Choose Istanbul for IVF?

Istanbul has become one of the leading destinations for fertility care, combining experienced specialists, modern laboratory technology and significantly more accessible costs compared to Western Europe and the US — without compromising on quality. At our clinic in Üsküdar, we welcome international patients with fully English-speaking coordination throughout the entire journey.

What Determines IVF Success?

There is no single "success rate" that applies to everyone. Your personal chance depends on:

Female age: — the strongest single factor

Ovarian reserve: (AMH level and antral follicle count)

Embryo quality: and laboratory standards

Uterine environment: — polyps, fibroids or adhesions are treated before transfer

Sperm parameters: — severe male factor is managed with ICSI

Rather than quoting generic numbers, we assess your individual profile first and give you a realistic, personalized expectation.

The IVF Process Step by Step

Step 1 — Remote consultation:: We review your history, previous cycles and test results online before you travel.

Step 2 — Stimulation (8-12 days):: Hormone injections mature multiple eggs; monitoring can partly be done in your home country.

Step 3 — Egg retrieval:: A short procedure under sedation.

Step 4 — Fertilization and embryo culture:: Embryos are followed up to blastocyst stage when appropriate.

Step 5 — Embryo transfer:: Painless, takes a few minutes.

Step 6 — Pregnancy test:: 10-12 days after transfer, can be done at home.

A typical stay in Istanbul is around 15-20 days, or shorter with a split protocol.
