Before the treatment, the patients must bring with her all the previous examinations and reports of previous operations and treatments. Determining the factors causing infertility makes it possible to administer personal treatment, thus increasing chance of success.

After the examinations, ovaries of the mother candidate are examined on the second or third day of her period. If the hormones of the patient are not at an enough level, the ovaries are stimulated by administering hormonal drugs to enable development of multiple eggs. Multiple follicles develop in the ovaries stimulated with hormonal needles. After hormonal needle administration for about 10 days, splitting needle is administration.

36 hours after the splitting needle, the developed eggs are collected from the vaginal route through surgical operation. The eggs chosen among collected ones are fertilized with sperms and kept under observation for embryo development. 

In classic in-vitro fertilization treatment, the sperm and the egg are left within the same environment, so that the moving sperms fertilize the egg in the natural environment. In the microinjection method, the chosen sperm cell is injected within the egg through the microcannula. 

The fertilized eggs are transferred to devices called incubator that simulate the uterus environment in the best way and tracked daily. The embryo that is determined to be the one with the best candidate for clinging to the uterus during the examinations is chosen. The embryo that reached a specific maturity is placed within the uterus with the help of a catheter. 

Medication is administered to ensure that the embryo clinging within the uterus in a healthy way.  The hormonal needles used throughout the treatment process should be continued until the pregnancy test to be performed eleven days after the transfer.
