Start with understanding

A treatment plan that starts with you

Fertility care is not the same for everyone. Some people need help with ovulation or an underlying condition. Others may need IVF, ICSI, or a review of previous treatment. The first step is to understand what may be affecting your chances of pregnancy.

A specialist assessment can be helpful if you have been trying without success, have irregular periods, know of a sperm or reproductive health issue, or have experienced unsuccessful fertility treatment. Age, medical history, and previous results influence how soon to seek advice.

VIPmedi helps coordinate that first conversation. Your clinical team then explains the available options, their limitations, and whether treatment in Turkey is suitable for you.

Explore your options

Fertility care, explained clearly

These are options to discuss with a specialist, not a fixed package or a promise that every treatment is right for you.

IVF Treatment

In vitro fertilization brings eggs and sperm together in a laboratory. Embryos are monitored, and an embryo may then be transferred to the uterus.

IVF may be considered for several fertility problems, including tubal factors or when other approaches have not been successful.

Your plan covers ovarian stimulation, egg collection, fertilization, and the proposed transfer approach.

ICSI Treatment

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a fertilization technique used within IVF. An embryologist injects a single sperm into an egg.

It may be recommended for certain sperm-related problems or previous fertilization difficulties. It does not guarantee that an egg will fertilize or lead to a pregnancy.

The specialist and embryology team decide whether ICSI is appropriate.

Ovulation Support & IUI

Some patients may be offered medication to support ovulation or intrauterine insemination. IUI places prepared sperm into the uterus around ovulation.

These approaches are not suitable for every diagnosis. Tubal health, sperm findings, age, and previous treatment all matter.

Monitoring is important, particularly when medication is used to stimulate the ovaries.

Male Fertility Care

A semen analysis can help identify problems with sperm number, movement, or other characteristics. Additional assessment may involve a urologist or andrologist.

When sperm is absent from the ejaculate, surgical retrieval such as TESE or micro-TESE may be considered in selected cases.

Surgical retrieval does not always find usable sperm. Your specialist will discuss realistic expectations.

Embryo Freezing & Transfer

Suitable embryos created during IVF may be frozen for a later transfer. A frozen embryo transfer takes place in a separately planned cycle.

Delaying transfer may be advised for medical reasons or to allow further assessment. Freezing, storage, and later transfer have their own consent and cost requirements.

Your team explains embryo suitability, storage arrangements, and whether another visit is needed.

Fertility Preservation

Egg or sperm freezing may be considered where Turkish regulations allow it, including specified medical circumstances that threaten fertility.

Eligibility is assessed individually. This is not an unrestricted offer of elective freezing, and stored eggs or sperm do not guarantee a future baby.

The hospital confirms the permitted indication, documentation, consent, and storage conditions.

Genetic testing: where there is a medical indication, your team may discuss genetic counselling and preimplantation genetic testing. It is not a routine requirement for everyone and is not offered for choosing a baby's sex for personal preference.

Our hospital network

Specialist care through our partner hospitals

VIPmedi works with the following hospital groups, which have fertility services within their networks. We help coordinate enquiries with a suitable hospital and specialist.

The specific hospital, affiliated brand, specialist, and available services are confirmed for your case. Not every hospital within a group provides every fertility treatment.

Dünyagöz is also part of VIPmedi's wider partner network for eye care; it is not presented here as a fertility treatment provider.

Before you plan treatment in Turkey

Assisted reproductive treatment in Turkey is for legally married couples using the wife's eggs and the husband's sperm. Donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos, and surrogacy are not permitted.

Sex selection for personal preference or family balancing is not permitted. Assessment for a sex-linked genetic disease is a separate medical matter for the fertility and genetics team.

The hospital must verify identity, marriage documents, consent, and medical eligibility before treatment. Confirm any translation requirements before travelling. Fertility preservation is subject to separate medical and legal criteria.

From your first enquiry onwards

Your fertility journey with VIPmedi

A clear plan helps you prepare. Your treatment dates remain guided by your cycle, test results, and the hospital's clinical decisions.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Start with a general enquiry about your goals and the type of support you are looking for. We explain the coordination process and the next steps for a hospital review.

  2. Arrange a specialist assessment

    The hospital reviews the information it requests and confirms which consultations or tests are needed. A preliminary remote review does not replace any required examination.

  3. Review your plan and quotation

    Discuss the proposed treatment, alternatives, likely appointment window, and itemized costs. Confirm the hospital, treating team, and practical arrangements before booking travel.

  4. Attend your treatment appointments

    For IVF, this may include stimulation and monitoring, egg and sperm collection, laboratory fertilization, and embryo transfer or freezing. Your hospital gives the medical instructions.

  5. Plan follow-up before returning home

    Obtain your medication instructions, testing schedule, hospital contact details, and treatment summary. Agree how results and any concerns will be followed up after your trip.

A clear point of contact

Support for the decisions around your care

Your fertility team provides medical care. VIPmedi helps you organize the practical steps of seeking that care abroad.

Hospital coordination

We help direct your enquiry, coordinate appointments, and clarify the next administrative steps with the selected hospital. Your treating clinicians remain responsible for medical advice and decisions.

Clear practical arrangements

Discuss language assistance, airport transfers, accommodation, and appointment logistics before travelling. Availability, fees, and any included services are confirmed in your written arrangements.

Considerate communication

You can begin with questions and take time to consider your options. Ask us about the appropriate process for sharing sensitive records; there is no need to send detailed medical documents in your first message.

Know what you are planning for

Fertility treatment costs in Turkey

There is no single price that accurately covers every patient's fertility care. Your total depends on the hospital, investigations, medication, laboratory procedures, and whether additional visits or transfers are needed.

Contact VIPmedi to request a quotation based on your proposed hospital treatment plan. Compare what is included, what is optional, and what would be charged separately if the plan changes.

Informed decisions

Hope, with realistic expectations

Fertility treatment can offer possibilities, but outcomes vary. Age, the cause of infertility, egg and sperm factors, embryo development, and medical history all influence the prospects for an individual patient.

Ask your hospital about live birth outcomes for patients with circumstances similar to yours. A pregnancy rate is not the same as a live birth rate, and results quoted per embryo transfer do not describe every cycle that starts.

Understand the risks and aftercare

Fertility medication and procedures have risks. Depending on treatment, these can include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), bleeding, infection, complications of sedation or anesthesia, ectopic pregnancy, and multiple pregnancy. A cycle may be changed or cancelled, and it may not produce an embryo suitable for transfer.

Your hospital should explain the relevant risks, provide written aftercare guidance, and tell you how to obtain urgent help. Seek urgent medical care for severe abdominal pain, breathing difficulty, fainting, or heavy bleeding after treatment; do not wait for a routine coordinator reply.

Answers before you travel

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start with VIPmedi?

Contact us on WhatsApp, by phone, or by email. Tell us that you are interested in fertility care and whether you have had previous treatment. We will explain how to arrange a hospital assessment and which information the hospital may request. Please ask about the appropriate sharing process before sending sensitive medical or identity documents.

Do we have to be married to have IVF in Turkey?

Yes. Turkish assisted reproduction rules require legally married couples and treatment using the wife's eggs and the husband's sperm. The hospital checks documents and consent before starting. Confirm the documents and any required translations before you book your trip. Fertility assessment and medically indicated preservation have their own eligibility considerations.

Are donor treatment, surrogacy, or gender selection available?

Donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos, and surrogacy are not permitted in Turkey. Sex selection for family balancing or personal preference is also not permitted. Genetic assessment for a sex-linked inherited condition is a separate medical issue and requires specialist review.

What is the difference between IVF and ICSI?

IVF is the overall process of collecting eggs, fertilizing them in a laboratory, and planning embryo transfer. ICSI is one method of fertilization used during IVF, in which one sperm is injected into an egg. It may help address particular fertilization problems, but is not automatically necessary or better for every patient.

Will I definitely need IVF?

No. The appropriate treatment depends on your assessment. A specialist may recommend further investigation, care for an underlying condition, ovulation treatment, IUI, IVF, or another approach. VIPmedi does not decide which medical treatment you need.

Can some tests or monitoring be done in my home country?

Possibly. Your Turkish hospital must confirm which outside results it can accept, how recent they must be, and whether local monitoring is suitable for your protocol. Do not start or change fertility medication without the treating specialist's instructions. Some tests may need to be repeated after arrival.

Does my partner need to travel with me?

Your partner may need to attend for identity and consent checks, assessment, and sperm collection. Attendance depends on the agreed plan and hospital requirements. Ask the hospital to confirm the necessary appointments and allow flexibility if collection or treatment dates change.

Can I choose the hospital?

You can tell us your preferred group or hospital. We help check the relevant service, specialist availability, and whether the hospital can assess your case. The final arrangement depends on clinical suitability and availability; the same treatments are not offered at every location.

When can I return home and take a pregnancy test?

Your hospital advises when it is appropriate to travel and gives you the date and type of pregnancy test to arrange. Timing depends on your treatment and embryo transfer plan. Follow the team's schedule rather than testing early, and agree where follow-up testing and any pregnancy scan will take place.

Are accommodation, transfers, and medication included?

Only if they are explicitly included in your written quotation. Medication, extra tests, embryo storage, later transfers, accommodation, and transport can be separate charges. Ask for an itemized breakdown and confirmation of the services you want before paying or travelling.

What happens if a treatment cycle is unsuccessful?

Your fertility specialist can review what happened, explain whether further tests or another approach may be appropriate, and discuss timing. There is no obligation to begin another cycle. Ask the hospital about counselling or emotional support, and consider the medical, financial, and personal implications before deciding what to do next.
