Request Information
In Turkey, IVF is limited to married heterosexual couples using their own eggs and sperm. Egg, sperm and embryo donation and surrogacy are not permitted. If you need donor gametes or surrogacy, Turkey is not the right destination — knowing this now saves you a wasted journey. Full legal checklist

Legacy of Trust
Dr. Aksoy trained in France and, on returning to Turkey, joined the founding ICSI team at Sevgi Hospital in Ankara — the country's first ICSI centre (1994-95) — co-authoring the first Turkish ICSI series in Human Reproduction in 1996 (PMID 8671323). He has been in the IVF lab almost every working day since. Thirty years of that consistency shape how a clinic thinks—from stimulation dosing to embryo selection.

Understanding outcomes
What Actually Shapes Your Chances
IVF outcomes depend on age, ovarian reserve, sperm parameters and previous treatment history — not on a single headline number. Published rates also vary with the endpoint each clinic reports, so two percentages are rarely comparable on a like-for-like basis. We report our own figures with the definition and the period behind them, alongside European outcome data published by ESHRE, and we go through what they mean for your case in consultation.
