About Fertility Treatment in Turkey

Common causes of infertility treated in Turkey include male-factor issues (poor-quality semen or low sperm count), ovulation disorders, blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, and conditions such as endometriosis. Endometriosis occurs when tissue like the uterine lining grows outside the uterus — often on the ovaries or fallopian tubes — and can impair fertility.

• Male factors: low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology.
• Female factors: ovulation problems (including PCOS), tubal damage, fibroids, endometriosis.
• Unexplained infertility: when standard tests do not identify a clear cause.

Infertility can be emotionally difficult for couples and patients — it commonly causes stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. Many clinics in Turkey offer counseling or patient-support services as part of the treatment pathway; if emotional support is a priority for you, ask your coordinator about counseling and peer-support options during initial assessment.

Typical patient journey: 1) initial remote review of your medical history and prior tests, 2) targeted diagnostic tests (semen analysis, hormone tests, ultrasound), 3) a tailored treatment plan (IUI, IVF, or other options), and 4) treatment with ongoing monitoring and follow-up. Many couples complete the evaluation and start a treatment cycle within weeks, depending on test results and scheduling.

DGS Healthcare works with accredited clinics and specialist teams to help you compare suitable treatment options and clinics. If you’d like a free evaluation, we can review your records and suggest the most appropriate fertility treatment and next steps for your situation.

Fertility Treatment Procedure in Turkey

If you and your partner are among the couples dealing with infertility, Turkey offers a full range of fertility treatment options delivered by experienced specialists and modern fertility clinics. Infertility can feel overwhelming, but the right diagnostic workup and targeted treatment plan can significantly improve your chances — and many patients begin a treatment cycle within weeks once evaluations are complete.

Infertility is typically defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. Causes can involve one or both partners; common factors include male-factor issues (sperm quality), ovulation disorders, tubal problems, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility. Your recommended treatment depends on the diagnosis and your individual circumstances, including age and medical history.

At DGS Healthcare we coordinate care with partner clinics so you have rapid access to consultations, diagnostic tests, and treatment. Our teams prioritize evidence-based, patient-centered care and will explain your options and expected timelines for each treatment cycle.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) in Turkey

IUI is a low- to moderate-intensity assisted reproduction option suitable for many couples with mild male-factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or for women who ovulate normally. A semen sample is processed in the lab to concentrate motile sperm, which are then placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chance that sperm will meet the egg. IUI can be performed with or without ovarian stimulation drugs; with stimulation, pregnancy chances per cycle are higher.

Typical IUI success varies by age and diagnosis; clinical estimates commonly cited range from single-digit to mid-teens percent per attempt. If you’d like details on IUI packages and expected success for your situation, we can arrange a free evaluation.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in Turkey

IVF is the fertilization of eggs and sperm in an embryology laboratory followed by transfer of one or more embryos to the uterus. IVF is often recommended when IUI is unsuccessful or when there are specific indications such as severe tubal disease, diminished ovarian reserve, PCOS, endometriosis, or significant sperm abnormalities. Additional lab techniques (for example, ICSI — intracytoplasmic sperm injection) may be used when sperm quality is low.

Success rates for IVF vary with age, diagnosis, and clinic practices. For up-to-date ivf success rates and a personalized estimate, request a medical review — DGS Healthcare can provide clinic-specific data and explain how age and embryo quality affect outcomes.

IVF Treatment Procedure (what to expect)

1. Assessment and planning: remote review or clinic visit for medical history, hormone tests, semen analysis, and an ultrasound.
2. Ovarian stimulation: medication to recruit multiple eggs (monitoring by ultrasound and blood tests over 8–14 days).
3. Egg collection: a short outpatient procedure to retrieve eggs under sedation.
4. Fertilization and embryo culture: eggs are fertilized in the lab (IVF) or with ICSI if indicated, and embryos are cultured for 3–5 days.
5. Embryo transfer: one or more embryos are transferred to the uterus; good-quality extra embryos may be frozen for future cycles.
6. Follow-up: pregnancy test about two weeks after transfer and ongoing obstetric care if successful.

Typical time per IVF cycle from stimulation start to pregnancy test is about 4–6 weeks; some patients use frozen embryo transfers later, shortening the in-country time. Side effects are usually mild (temporary ovarian discomfort, spotting), but your clinic will review risks and aftercare.

If you want clinic-specific ivf treatment turkey information, success data, or an estimated timeline for your case, request a free assessment — we’ll coordinate with partner specialists to provide a clear plan tailored to your needs.

IVF Laws in Turkey

Turkish law places defined limits on who can receive fertility treatment and which procedures are permitted. Donor gametes (egg, sperm) and embryo donation, as well as surrogacy, are not permitted under current regulations. Treatment is generally limited to married couples using their own eggs and sperm. There are also restrictions on treating single people and same-sex couples.

Allowed clinical procedures include IVF, IUI, ICSI/IMSI, in vitro maturation (IVM), assisted hatching, and genetic tests such as PGS and PGD when used for medical indications. Egg freezing is permitted in specific medical circumstances (for example, cancer patients or documented diminished ovarian reserve) — clinics follow legal and ethical criteria when approving such requests.

Key points (summary of current regulations):

• Egg, sperm, and embryo donation are prohibited.
• Surrogacy is not permitted.
• Only married couples may access most fertility treatments using their own gametes.
• PGD/PGS are allowed for medical reasons, but non-medical sex selection is prohibited.
• Embryo storage is regulated (see clinic policy); many clinics follow a maximum storage period and require annual confirmation from the couple.

Practical clinic policies commonly aligned with the law:

• Many clinics have age-based limits (for example, many will not treat women over mid-40s) — these are clinic policies rather than a single national age cap.
• Embryo storage periods and the number of embryos transferable per cycle are regulated and vary by age and cycle number; clinics will explain permitted transfer rules during consent.

What this means for international patients: if you are considering treatment in Turkey, check eligibility early — clinics will request marriage documentation and medical records. If you need treatments that are not permitted in Turkey (for example, donor eggs or surrogacy), your coordinator can advise on alternative countries and safe cross-border options.

Note: Regulations can change. For the most current legal requirements and clinic policies, DGS Healthcare will provide the latest official guidance and cite the relevant Ministry of Health regulations when you request a consultation.

Fertility Treatment Success Rates in Turkey

IVF success rates in Turkey—like elsewhere—depend primarily on a woman’s age, the quality of embryos, and the underlying cause of infertility. Simple headline percentages can be misleading because they don’t reflect differences between clinics, case complexity, or whether a statistic refers to clinical pregnancy per transfer, live birth rate per cycle, or cumulative live birth across multiple cycles. For a personalized estimate of your chance of success, a medical assessment is required; DGS Healthcare can provide clinic-specific data after reviewing your records.

Below is a commonly used reference table showing pregnancy rates with two embryos transferred; treat these figures as illustrative ranges rather than guarantees. We recommend asking your coordinator for the specific metric (clinical pregnancy vs live birth) and the data source for any clinic-level success rates.

Note on interpretation: these rates are illustrative. Clinics report success using different denominators (per embryo transfer, per started cycle, or cumulative live birth over multiple cycles). When comparing ivf success rates, ask whether figures represent live birth rate (the most meaningful outcome) or clinical pregnancy rate. DGS Healthcare can supply clinic-specific ivf success rates with source details on request.

IVF Stages in Turkey

IVF generally consists of these six stages; the timeline and number of clinic visits may vary by protocol and clinic.

1. Suppressing the natural cycle (optional): short course of medication to coordinate timing (a few weeks).
2. Ovarian stimulation: daily injections over ~8–14 days to produce multiple follicles; monitored by blood tests and ultrasound.
3. Monitoring and trigger: final maturation is induced with a trigger injection when follicles reach target size.
4. Egg collection: outpatient needle procedure under sedation (one clinic visit).
5. Fertilization and embryo culture: eggs are fertilized (IVF or ICSI) and embryos cultured for 3–5 days; embryology staff assess embryo quality.
6. Embryo transfer and follow-up: transfer is a simple procedure; a pregnancy test follows about two weeks later. Extra good-quality embryos may be frozen for future cycles.

Typical cycle duration: about 4–6 weeks from stimulation to pregnancy test (a frozen embryo transfer may require shorter in-country time). Recovery and side effect profiles differ by individual; clinics will review risks and aftercare. If you want clinic-specific ivf treatment data, success rates, or an estimated timeline for your case, request a free assessment and we will provide detailed, sourced information.

2025 Cost of Fertility Treatment in Turkey

Fertility treatment costs in Turkey remain competitive in 2025 compared with many developed countries. The exact cost depends on the chosen procedure, medication needs, and whether additional services (ICSI, PGT, embryo freezing) are required. DGS Healthcare can provide a tailored estimate after reviewing your case and confirming which services you need.

The prices may vary based on specific procedure requirements. Contact us for exact price information.

Representative price ranges (illustrative) — ask for an up-to-date quote as prices vary by clinic, city, and included services:

• IUI (with monitoring): typical prices are lower than IVF and vary depending on whether medication is used.
• Standard IVF cycle: base procedure price plus medication; costs increase if ICSI is required.
• IVF + ICSI or PGT: additional laboratory procedures and tests add to the base price.
• Medication, embryo freezing, and storage, and follow-up appointments may be charged separately or included in packages.

Why are fertility treatment prices lower in Turkey? Several factors typically reduce overall patient costs:

1. Favourable exchange rates: patients paying in stronger currencies (euro, dollar, pound) often find Turkey more affordable.
2. Lower overheads: lower cost of living and competitive medical fees reduce the price of treatment and staff costs.
3. Competitive medical tourism market and incentives: clinics offering packages for international patients can bundle services (treatment, accommodation, transfers) at attractive prices.

All-inclusive packages: DGS Healthcare arranges packages that commonly include clinic appointments, procedure fees, airport transfers, and selected hotel stays. Packages reduce the need to coordinate multiple suppliers and can lower your total travel cost. Ask for a detailed package breakdown to see exactly what’s included and any exclusions (medications, PGT, extended embryo storage, etc.).

Practical travel considerations for international patients: many treatments can be timed to minimize time in-country (for example, a frozen embryo transfer often requires fewer visits than a fresh cycle). VIP transfers from the airport and clinic logistics are commonly included in packages; DGS Healthcare will coordinate transport and appointments so you can focus on treatment and recovery.

Request a free quote: contact DGS Healthcare with your basic medical history (previous fertility tests, age, prior treatments). We will provide an estimated cost breakdown, explain what the price covers (clinic fees, meds, embryo storage, transfers), and recommend the most cost-effective treatment pathway for your situation.

Why Choose Turkey for Fertility Treatment?

Turkey is a common choice for international patients seeking high-quality, cost-effective fertility treatment. Many clinics combine modern technology, accredited hospital standards, and experienced specialists to deliver a range of treatments from IUI to advanced IVF and related services. Fertility treatment is available in major medical centers such as Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya.

What sets Turkey apart

• High-quality clinics: many partner clinics hold international or national accreditation and maintain modern embryology labs and clinical protocols that meet international standards.
• Experienced specialists: multidisciplinary teams—fertility doctors, embryologists, nurses—deliver tailored treatment plans and evidence-based care.
• Competitive prices: lower treatment costs and package pricing make Turkey an attractive option compared with some countries, while maintaining high clinical standards.
• Comprehensive services: clinics typically offer a full range of services (IVF, ICSI, PGT, embryo freezing) and patient support for international patients.

Safety and standards

Top hospitals are regulated by the Ministry of Health and many have international accreditation. When choosing a clinic, request verification of accreditation, embryology lab standards, and recent ivf success rates so you can compare quality and outcomes rather than price alone.

All-inclusive packages and patient support

DGS Healthcare arranges packages that typically bundle clinic appointments, transfers, and accommodation to simplify travel for international patients. Packages reduce logistical stress and often include VIP transfer services and a dedicated patient coordinator who manages appointments and communication with the clinic.

How to choose a clinic

1. Check accreditations and clinic reviews.
2. Request clinic-specific ivf success rates and the metric used (live birth rate preferred).
3. Ask about embryology lab standards, staff experience, and available technology.
4. Compare packages and what’s included (medication, storage, transfers).

If you’d like, DGS Healthcare can provide a clinic dossier with accreditations, up-to-date ivf success rates, and a recommended shortlist of specialists based on your clinical needs. Request a free clinic dossier or a consultation to compare options and get a personalized plan.
