The treatment duration generally ranges from 21 to 23 days, although it may vary depending on each couple’s individual needs. For patients undergoing classic IVF, ICSI, or IMSI, the process typically lasts about three weeks (with fresh embryo transfer).
Several examinations are required. We ask that you send us your thyroid panel results, hormonal profile including AMH, FSH, prolactin, and LH levels, as well as your hysterosalpingography, which helps assess the uterine cavity and detect any potential issues.This stage is reviewed individually and explained by your coordinator. The doctor may also request additional blood tests and your antral follicle count, if necessary.For men, a sperm analysis (spermogram) is required, and further tests may be requested depending on those results to complete your file.

A decreased ovarian reserve is essentially a numerical expression. In other words, it indicates that the number of eggs is declining. Fortunately, this does not always mean a drop in quality — the existing eggs can still be healthy. However, if the reserve is significantly reduced, quality may also be affected, resulting in lower-quality embryos and, unfortunately, a higher risk of first-trimester miscarriages.
Egg quality largely depends on each individual case. Generally, eggs are of better quality in younger women. However, it is important to note that egg quality can be improved. At Oumnia, we take a personalized approach for each patient. Our naturopath prescribes specific diets and tailored supplements based on each case. We also encourage avoiding endocrine disruptors. These measures help enhance egg quality, resulting in better embryo quality and increasing the chances of sustaining a pregnancy during the first trimester.
There are no restrictions on sexual intercourse during the ovarian stimulation period. However, there should be no sexual activity after the Ovitrelle injection. We do not recommend intercourse until after the embryo transfer and the subsequent pregnancy test results.
Yes, an abstinence period of 2 to 4 days is ideal.
On the day of egg retrieval, sperm cells are collected through masturbation, just as in a standard sperm analysis. If there is any issue with providing the sample, you should inform your doctor in advance.
The egg retrieval process takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Egg retrieval is performed while you are sedated. At our center, the procedure is done under anesthesia for your comfort. For this, you should not eat or drink anything, including water, for at least 6 hours beforehand.
You may experience mild pain after the egg retrieval procedure. This discomfort can be easily managed with pain relievers.
Embryo transfer is a procedure that does not require anesthesia. A full bladder helps us visualize the uterus more easily via ultrasound during the transfer, allowing the procedure to be performed smoothly.
The determination of an embryo’s sex is prohibited in Turkey in accordance with current laws and ethical standards. It should be noted that the sex of the embryos is not disclosed during the transfer.
We recommend 3 days of rest after your embryo transfer. After that, you can resume your normal daily life and routine.
You can start taking a warm shower one day after the transfer.
We recommend waiting at least 3 days before traveling after your embryo transfer.
Yes, legally, your husband’s signed consent is required for the embryo to be transferred to you. He must be present on the day of the transfer.
- - Swim-up (floating method)This method is used when the sperm count and motility are sufficient. It is based on the principle of mobile sperm swimming upward (+4, +3) into the upper layer.
- - Gradient (density difference method) This is a method of filtering the best sperm from solutions containing colloidal silica particles, preferred for patients with a limited sperm count. It allows obtaining sperm with the best motility and appropriate morphology. This method is particularly used for patients with a limited number of sperm retrieved surgically from the testes (micro PESA, TESA, TESE, MESA).At our center, both methods are used to separate sperm with the highest motility (+4, +3) and normal morphology from the seminal fluid and prepare them for microinjection (ICSI).
