Only 35 embryos can be transferred in trials over the age of 2 and after 2 trials. Due to these rules in IVF applications, the incidence of multiple pregnancies has decreased. In some rare applications, the formation of identical twins can also occur after a single embryo transfer.

The age of the woman is very important! Contrary to popular belief, it is not possible to get pregnant with IVF treatment at any age.

However, egg collection procedures are performed under anesthesia, so pain is not felt. After the procedure, a feeling of pressure and fullness may develop for a short time. In addition, embryo transfer does not cause pain when applied correctly.”

Fıçıcıoğlu continued as follows:

“Only resting on the day of the transfer will be sufficient. In case of pregnancy, there is no need to do anything different from normal pregnancies. Therefore, it is not possible to go to bed for 9 months. The success of IVF treatment varies considerably from patient to patient. Generally, pregnancy can occur in 10-7 out of 8 patients. “Unfortunately, it is not possible for every expectant mother to be 100 percent pregnant.”

Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Prof. Dr. In his statement, Cem Fıçıcıoğlu said, “Women's age and egg reserves and sperm evaluations in men are the most important factors in the success of the treatment. After all the evaluations are made, it may be possible to give more meaningful figures on the probability of success for the couple.” she gave her information.

“Advanced age, smoking, obesity, certain drugs and chronic diseases can cause a decrease in sperm value in men. If pregnancy cannot be achieved by normal means, some drug treatments may be recommended to the man in order to increase the number and quality of sperm.

In this case, sperm can be found through the canals with needles or a small incision made under the microscope, and pregnancy can be obtained.

Although it is a positive result that the tests for ovarian reserves are normal, the age of the expectant mother is more important,” he says, adding: “Likewise, low ovarian reserve tests do not indicate that the expectant mother cannot become pregnant. It just shows that the process needs to be managed properly because of the limited time.”
