Services Available

Egg Donation

It is the process of donating eggs to enable a woman to become pregnant as part of another woman's assisted reproductive treatment or for biomedical research.

- Which women can be candidates for egg donation program?

• Premature menopause (early menopause),

• Surgical menopause (surgical removal of the ovaries),

• Ovarian damage after surgery-radiotherapy-chemotherapy,

• Genetic disorders,

• Advanced maternal age (especially over 45 years old),

• Low ovarian reserve

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

In this technique, which is performed outside the woman's body, embryos are created in a laboratory environment and embryos with healthy development are placed in the uterus. 

- Who Needs In Vitro Fertilization?

      Couples can use in vitro fertilization (IVF) if any of the following factors are present.

      Female factors:

• Damaged or closed fallopian tubes, including previous ligation of the tubes.

• After unsuccessful vaccination treatments

• Immunological factors

• Endometriosis-related infertility

• "Unexplained" infertility

       Male factors:

• Poor sperm motility (sperms not moving well)

• Poor sperm morphology (shapeless sperm)

• Low sperm count

• Absence of sperm in the semen (Azoospermia)

• "Unexplained" infertility

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection / ICSI)

The process of ensuring fertilization by injecting sperm into the egg is called micro-injection.

The aim here is to determine the mature eggs to be used for microinjection. Afterwards, the sperms in the semen sample taken from the male are prepared by washing method and injected into each mature egg with special devices called micromanipulators.

Sperm Donation

Sperm donation is used for artificial insemination or other 'fertility treatments' so that women or women who do not have their own sexual partner can become pregnant.

Gestational Surrogacy

Surrogacy is the process of creating a pregnancy in the uterus of another woman by placing the embryo or embryos (created by IVF method) of a couple, and then ending the pregnancy with delivery of the baby.

Embryo Donation

Sometimes, it may be necessary for couples to use both egg and sperm cell from a donor. This is called embryo donation.

For this procedure, embryos are prepared in accordance with the couple's desires and physical characteristics - blood groups, then the candidate mother is prepared in approximately 18-19 days with oral pills and sometimes tapes attached to the body and vaginal drugs and transfer takes place.

Tandem Cycle

Tandem IVF, which gives women the opportunity to use their own eggs as well as healthy eggs donated for pregnancy, is an important technique especially for women with reduced egg number and quality or for women of advanced age.

In tandem treatment, the mother candidate and the donor are prepared at the same time and both eggs (mother candidate and surrogate) are fertilized with the sperm of the couple's male partner. Finally, the better developed embryos of the two are transferred to the mother.

Egg Freezing

- For whom is the Egg Freezing Process Recommended?

• Those who want to delay pregnancy for social reasons

• Patients who will go under chemotherapy

• To create a pool in patients with low ovarian reserve

• In cases where the spouses cannot be together on the day of the procedure (work, being abroad, etc.)

• Before surgical procedures that will affect reproductive functions

Embryo Freezing

- Who Are the Candidates for Frozen Embryo Transfer?

•       Patients whose embryos are frozen due to the risk of hyperstimulation or because the uterus is unsuitable for transfer and fresh transfer is not made

•       After genetic testing of embryos,

•       Patients with embryo deposits (embryo pool) due to decreased ovarian reserve

•       Patients whose embryos need to be frozen until the next process in cases where the hormones for the transfer do not come out as desired

PGD (Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis)

 PGD is a laboratory procedure used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to reduce the risk of passing on inherited conditions.

PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)

PESA is the acquisition of sperm by aspiration method by reaching the epididymis with a needle without making an incision from the skin.

MESA (Micro-Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)

MESA is a method of obtaining live sperm cells by aspirating with the help of a needle, by reaching the epididymis through an incision made on the skin. PESA and MESA occlusion type azoospermia are mostly used for sperm retrieval after vasectomy.

TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction - Micro TESE)

TESE is a method of searching for live sperm in very small tissue samples, by identifying areas with a higher chance of finding sperm after examination under the microscope from both testes, which are reached through a very small incision on the scrotum skin.

TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)

TESA is the process of entering the testicular tissue with the help of a needle and taking sperm from the sperm canal.

NGS (Next Generation Sequencing)

NGS is a new technology for DNA, RNA sequencing and variant/mutation detection.

- NGS is recommended for:

• Especially for expectant mothers over the age of 37

• Recurrent pregnancy loss of unknown cause

• In cases where pregnancy cannot be achieved despite two or more IVF treatments

• In very heavy (obese) male factor (low number and morphological values in sperm)

• In men and women with gonadal mosaicism

• In couples with translocation and inversion structural chromosomal problems
