Egg freezing, in its most general definition, is the process of freezing and storing women’s eggs so that they can be used in the future and thus preserve the woman’s fertility in the future. The first of the prominent features of egg freezing, also known as oocyte freezing or oocyte cryopreservation, is that it preserves the biological structure of the egg cell at the time of the procedure.

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis/Screening (PGD) is the process of identifying and selecting healthy embryos by performing embryo biopsy in the laboratory environment before the embryos created in the laboratory environment as a result of the fertilization of the eggs taken from the mother and the sperm taken from the father of the couples who start IVF treatment are transferred to the mother.

When success is expressed in terms of pregnancy rate, it is generally known to be inversely proportional to increasing age. As a woman’s age increases, IVF success decreases. While the chance of success in the first attempt in IVF treatments reaches 60 percent in young women (under 35 years of age), it drops to 20 percent after the age of 40. This is because the quality of the egg depends on the woman’s age and the chances of pregnancy decrease after the age of 35.

Fresh embryo transfer is when the fertilized egg is placed directly into the woman’s uterus without any further processing. Today, it is also possible to freeze healthy embryos and inject them into the uterus at a later date if for some reason the transfer cannot be performed at the current time or if you want to take precautions for the next transfer in case of failure. In this procedure, called frozen embryo transfer, the frozen embryos are thawed and prepared before transfer.

“Chip baby”, or micro-chip IVF treatment, which is an increasingly widespread method used in assisted reproduction methods, is the application of a procedure in IVF treatment to increase the chance of pregnancy by changing the sperm selection method. Today, many couples are unable to have a baby naturally and consult a doctor to investigate the underlying causes. A series of tests then reveal that the problem preventing pregnancy is sometimes in the woman, sometimes in the man, sometimes in both.

Intrauterine insemination is a form of assisted reproductive treatment used to treat male and female problems that may prevent pregnancy. In vaccination, sperm samples taken from the man are processed and separated in such a way that pregnancy can occur. Sorted sperm are the ones that can get the maximum yield in terms of motility and number. This increases the chances of pregnancy. For the woman, on the other hand, hormone treatments before vaccination increase the likelihood of sperm and egg fusion.

Today, all over the world, different techniques are developed and put into practice according to the reason for the inability to have a baby within the scope of IVF treatment, which brings high success as an assisted reproductive technique applied by couples facing infertility problems. Thanks to the micro injection method, many couples today have experienced the happiness of bringing a healthy baby into the world.

OPU, oocyte retrieval or egg retrieval, is the collection of growing eggs after a hatching injection (triggering ovulation). Usually, it is performed 34-36 hours after the hatching injection. The timing must be precise, as there are risks if OPU is performed too early or too late.

A standard IVF treatment includes egg stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo creation and transfer. In the embryo pool method in IVF, egg development and egg collection and fertilization processes are repeated more than once. However, embryo transfer is only performed after the pool has been created. Thus, the most fertile and high quality embryos are selected, increasing the success rate of IVF treatment.
