Quality of sperms, adhesiveness of the embryos within the womb, problems such as myoma or polyp, blocked fallopian tubes are kinds of factors that influence the success of IVF.

What is done in cases where the number of sperm is few or none?

If the number of sperm is very few, microinjection is performed. In cases where there is no sper, it is required to surgically search for the sperm inside the testicles.

What can be done in case of multiple pregnancy?

First of all, it is necessary to prevent the multiple pregnancies. This is possible by lessening the number of embryos transferred, for women with higher chances of pregnancy (young, previously pregnant). Generally, no attempt is made in twin pregnancies. As for the triplet pregnancies, pregnancy reduction is recommended.

Does it affect the sexual life of the person?

We don’t recommend sexual intercourse until the pregnancy test; however the efficiency of this has not been proven.

Do the hormone drugs used in IVF treatment increase the risk of cancer? Do these drugs have side effects?

There is no association between the two. The most probable side effect is the excess stimulation of the eggs (hyper stimulation).

Does ectopic pregnancy occur as a result of these treatments?

Possibility of ectopic pregnancy is about 1-3%. Possibility of it both in and outside the womb is5 % and this is called heterotypical pregnancy.

How are the results of pregnancy acquired with the frozen embryos?
