During the stages to be applied in the treatment, the mother and father-to-be need psychological support. During the treatment period, the financial and moral support that the mother and father-to-be will receive from their environment is of great importance.

Is anesthesia necessary?

When the egg collection stage is reached in IVF treatment, local or general anesthesia should be applied to the expectant mother. Previously, because anesthesia technology was not possible, the eggs of the patients had to be performed while the patients were awake and without anesthetizing. For this reason, expectant mothers suffer severely. However, in today's conditions, with local or general anesthesia, these stages can be overcome quite easily, and then the expectant mother can continue her daily life from where she left off.

After the egg collection step is completed, the sperm cells supplied from the father-to-be and the egg cell taken from the mother-to-be are fertilized under laboratory conditions. The embryos obtained are transferred to the uterus of the expectant mother after 2 or 5 days. In this application, there is no harm or suffering to the expectant mother in any way. The application is completed in 5 minutes on average. There is no need to apply general or local anesthesia to the expectant mother during the transfer process.
