In cases where a fresh transfer is performed, the treatment process is completed in approximately 3 weeks. For frozen-thawed embryo transfers, the process can take 6 weeks or longer.
For some couples undergoing IVF treatment, several attempts may be necessary to achieve pregnancy. Generally, it is recommended to wait at least one month between two IVF treatments due to economic and psychological factors. However, for couples with limited time, it is possible to start treatment again with the first menstrual cycle following a failed attempt.
Infertility is the inability to achieve pregnancy despite having regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for 12 months. Due to the decline in fertility with advancing age in women, this period is considered to be 6 months for couples where the woman is over 35 years old. Infertility, a common condition today, affects approximately 15% of couples of reproductive age. Health issues in one or both partners can cause infertility. In some couples, no underlying cause for infertility can be found. Certain tests are conducted on both partners to determine the causes of infertility in couples who have difficulty conceiving.
