Advanced, Personalized, and High-Success IVF Treatment by Leading Fertility Experts

IVF at Memorial Hospital Turkey combines world-class reproductive medicine, pioneering fertility technology, and exceptional care for couples struggling to conceive. Memorial Fertility Centers are internationally recognized for their excellence in IVF success rates, advanced genetic screening, and cutting-edge embryology laboratories equipped with Embryoscope+, one of the world’s most advanced incubators.

🩺 What Is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive treatment in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. IVF allows doctors to observe egg quality, select the healthiest embryos, and overcome a wide range of fertility problems that natural conception cannot resolve.

Memorial Fertility Centers apply advanced procedures ensuring the highest level of safety, accuracy, and success. Their team combines cutting-edge reproductive science with individualized treatment planning for every patient. International couples benefit from seamless coordination, transparent communication, and world-class laboratory standards.

🩺 Types of IVF at Memorial Hospital

  • Conventional IVF – Eggs are combined with sperm in a laboratory dish for natural fertilization.
  • ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) – A single sperm is injected directly into the egg.
  • IVF with Genetic Testing (PGT-A / PGT-M) – Embryos are screened for chromosomal abnormalities or inherited diseases such as thalassemia, hemophilia, and muscular disorders.
  • IVF for Low Ovarian Reserve – Uses specialized stimulation protocols, luteal phase stimulation, soft protocols, and oocyte accumulation strategies.
  • IVF for Male-Factor Infertility – Includes MESA, TESE, TESA sperm retrieval and advanced sperm selection.
  • IVF for Recurrent Implantation Failure – Combined with PRP therapy, endometrial scratch, embryo selection tools, and multidisciplinary evaluation.
  • IVF for Irregular Cycles & Ovulation Disorders – Tailored hormonal stimulation, ovulation induction, or conversion from unsuccessful IUI cycles.

🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if:

✔️ You have difficulty conceiving for more than 12 months
✔️ You have low ovarian reserve or diminished egg quality
✔️ You have irregular menstrual cycles or ovulation problems
✔️ You have blocked fallopian tubes
✔️ There is male-factor infertility (low sperm count, motility, or morphology)
✔️ You have a history of failed IVF cycles or early miscarriages
✔️ You wish to screen embryos for genetic diseases
✔️ You have unexplained infertility
✔️ You are seeking advanced, internationally accredited fertility care

📝 Consultation & Preparation

Before beginning any fertility treatment, every couple undergoes a structured and personalized evaluation. This step ensures the medical team understands both partners’ reproductive health, identifies the factors affecting fertility, and tailors the safest and most effective treatment plan. The goal is to optimize your chances of a healthy pregnancy before starting the medical process.

Your evaluation includes a full review of hormonal levels (including AMH), ovarian reserve, and ultrasound follicle count, along with an assessment of your menstrual cycle and ovulation patterns. The male partner undergoes semen analysis, with DNA fragmentation testing when indicated. Your team will also review any previous IVF cycles or miscarriages and design a stimulation protocol tailored to your ovarian reserve.

You will receive a clear explanation of embryo development, fertilization options, and expected success rates. If there is a family risk of inherited conditions, genetic testing will be planned. Before treatment begins, hormonal balance is optimized, lifestyle improvements are recommended, vitamin and antioxidant supplementation is initiated, and any thyroid or prolactin abnormalities that may affect fertility are addressed.

🩺 Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery after IVF at Memorial is quick and comfortable.

  • Ovarian stimulation: daily injections for 8–12 days
  • Egg retrieval: 15–20 minutes under sedation
  • Embryo transfer: painless, takes only a few minutes
  • Return to daily activities: within 1–2 days
  • Follow-up blood test: after 10–14 days
  • Genetic test cycle patients may require an additional visit
  • Mild bloating or abdominal pressure may occur for 1–3 days after stimulation
  • Progesterone support medications continue for 2–3 weeks post-transfer

Light activity recommended, but avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review I recently travelled from Australia to Istanbul for a 4,750 graft hair transplant at Memorial Hospital with Dr. Salim Salimov, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Salimov is incredibly skilled and professional. He explained the entire procedure clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely confident. The surgery went smoothly, and I was amazed that I didn’t feel any pain at all after the procedure. The nurses and staff were also outstanding — friendly, supportive, and attentive throughout the whole journey. The hospital itself is extremely clean, modern, and well-organised. I’m extremely happy with my results so far, and I will definitely be coming back for any future treatments. I highly recommend Memorial Hospital and Dr. Salim Salimov to anyone considering a hair transplant. Outstanding experience all around!

    I would like to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude to Prof. Dr. Timur Selçuk, Dr. Celalettin, and the nursing staff. After so many days in the hospital, I know that I owe them more than just words. Their professionalism, dedication, and human warmth were my anchor. Each one of you, with your tireless efforts, not only took care of me, but literally gave me back my life. I will never forget your commitment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving me. I will always carry you in my memory with immense gratitude. ❤️🫶🏽
