Key Information
Why Turkey for IVF and Fertility Treatment?
Turkey has emerged as a leading IVF destination for international couples, offering competitive success rates, significantly lower costs than Western Europe, and a well-established regulatory framework. A key factor for many couples is the legal availability of egg donation programs in Turkey, with a diverse, thoroughly screened donor database. All donors undergo genetic screening, infectious disease testing and psychological evaluation before matching.
- Egg donation legally permitted with a regulated, screened donor database
- PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy) available
- Blastocyst culture with time-lapse embryo monitoring
- Dedicated English and Arabic-speaking fertility coordinators
IVF Success Rates and What to Expect
Success rates at our partner IVF centres for women under 35 using their own eggs exceed 55% per transfer at leading clinics — comparable to the best-performing UK clinics. For donor egg cycles, clinical pregnancy rates are typically 60–70% per transfer. The standard IVF cycle (stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilisation and transfer) takes approximately 14–21 days from start to transfer. Most patients fly home 2–3 days after embryo transfer.
IVF Costs in Turkey
A standard IVF cycle with ICSI in Turkey costs £2,500–£4,000 including monitoring, medications, egg retrieval, fertilisation and embryo transfer — compared to £5,000–£8,000 (before medications) in the UK. Egg donation cycles cost £4,000–£6,500. Frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles are significantly cheaper: from £700.
- Own-egg IVF with ICSI: from £2,500 (vs £5,000+ UK)
- Egg donation IVF: from £4,000 (vs £15,000+ UK)
- PGT-A genetic testing: from £1,000 per cycle
- Frozen embryo transfer (FET): from £700
Frequently Asked Questions
Is egg donation legal in Turkey?
Yes, egg donation is legally permitted and regulated in Turkey. Donors are anonymous, thoroughly screened for genetic conditions, infectious diseases and psychological suitability. Matching is based on physical characteristics and blood type. Turkish law requires full anonymity.
What is the success rate for IVF in Turkey?
At our leading partner clinics, clinical pregnancy rates per fresh embryo transfer are 50–58% for women under 35 using their own eggs, and 60–70% for donor egg cycles. These figures are comparable to — or exceed — average rates at UK licensed clinics.
How many embryos are transferred during IVF in Turkey?
Turkish fertility law generally recommends single embryo transfer (SET) for women under 35 to minimise multiple pregnancy risk, and allows double embryo transfer (DET) in certain circumstances. Your clinician will discuss the protocol based on your embryo quality and medical history.
Can single women or same-sex couples access IVF in Turkey?
Turkish fertility law currently permits IVF only for heterosexual couples (married or in a documented relationship). Single women and same-sex couples are not legally eligible for treatment in Turkey. VelaCare can advise on alternative European destinations for these cases.
What should I bring to Turkey for my IVF cycle?
You will need your passport, any previous fertility investigation results (AMH, AFC, sperm analysis, hysterosalpingography), a letter from your GP summarising your medical history, and any previous IVF records. Your coordinator will send a full pre-cycle checklist once treatment is confirmed.
