What this typically costs, per IVF cycle
These ranges are here to help you budget before you request a quote. Final pricing comes from the independent clinic after physician review.
These are rough ranges from public sources — not quotes, and not Astramedica's prices. Your real cost depends on the cycle plan, medication, genetic testing, and any extra steps the partner clinic recommends.

Program at a glance
What matters most, at a glance
A fast, patient-friendly summary of the service, likely travel window, and how the coordination works.
What this program is
IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a process where eggs and sperm are combined in a lab and the resulting embryo is transferred back to the uterus. Partner clinics in Turkey offer IVF, ICSI (a single sperm injection variation), genetic screening of embryos (PGT-A), egg and embryo freezing, and — where allowed — donor programs.
Commonly explored by
Couples or individuals who haven't conceived after trying for a while, women planning egg freezing for the future, or people with known fertility challenges. Whether IVF or another approach is right for you is the partner reproductive specialist's call after a full review — not Astramedica's.
What the program typically includes
A typical cycle usually looks like this:
- An intake and records review with the partner specialist
- Hormone stimulation, often started at home with monitoring
- An on-site stretch for monitoring scans and bloodwork (around 8–12 days)
- Egg retrieval under sedation
- Lab fertilization, optional genetic screening, and embryo culture
- Embryo transfer (fresh or in a later trip if frozen)
Typical travel window
Plan for 10 to 14 nights in Istanbul, or split into two shorter trips depending on the cycle plan. Direct flights from major US cities are easy to find — our team helps you sort it out.
What Astramedica coordinates
We handle the travel side, not the medical side:
- One US-based coordinator you can reach from day one through your return flight
- A short list of vetted partner clinics, with specialist credentials laid out clearly
- Flights, airport pickups, and longer-stay accommodation
- Translator help when you meet the doctor
- Document delivery and follow-up scheduling after you get home

Program overview
What this service can look like
A clearer picture of the journey before you book anything with a clinic or arrange travel.
This is a plan for people in the US who are researching IVF or other fertility programs in Turkey. Because fertility cycles are time-sensitive and personal, we start with coordination around records, cycle timing, and travel windows — not assumptions about which approach is right for you.
Our job is helping you compare partner clinic pathways and handle travel once the clinic accepts your case. We don't recommend IVF over other approaches, advise on medication, or decide whether donor or genetic testing is right for you. That's the reproductive specialist's job.
For most people, the value of coordination is clarity: knowing how long the cycle window usually takes, how many monitoring visits are likely, and what happens if part of the plan stretches across two trips. Outcomes depend on age, history, and the doctor's assessment, and no pregnancy or cycle result is certain.
Why patients look at Turkey
“Turkey is a popular destination for fertility care because many partner centers combine reproductive specialists, embryology labs, and international-patient coordination in one organized pathway. That usually makes it easier to plan consultations, monitoring, and procedures around a defined cycle window during a single trip.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The practical questions patients usually ask before they move from researching into reaching out.
Can Astramedica decide which fertility approach is right for me?
No. Choice of approach, medication, and cycle planning belong to the partner reproductive specialist after they review your history.
How long do people usually stay in Turkey for IVF-related care?
It depends. Some plans are split across two shorter trips, while others need a longer single stay for monitoring and the procedure. The partner clinic sets the timeline.
Are donor programs or genetic testing always available?
No. Availability depends on the partner clinic, the case, and local rules. The clinic explains what's actually available after review.
Can Astramedica predict whether IVF will work?
No. Fertility outcomes depend on many medical factors, and we don't predict results from any partner-clinic program.
