Low AMH, advanced maternal age, diminished ovarian reserve… These are challenges many women face during their fertility journey. But does this automatically mean egg donation is the only solution? The answer is no.
Let’s take a closer look at the other possibilities together. .
In the UK, many women are advised to consider egg donation during IVF, particularly after being diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. This recommendation is understandable. Egg donation can offer clinics more predictable success rates and helps reduce clinical uncertainty.
However, it’s important to know that egg donation is not the only path forward for women who are still producing their own eggs. With the right expertise, individualized planning, and advanced laboratory support, alternative approaches can and do exist.
In Türkiye, egg donation is not permitted by law. Because of this, our medical teams have spent decades focusing exclusively on IVF treatments using a woman’s own eggs, including in patients with low ovarian reserve.
This has shaped not only our clinical philosophy, but also our expertise. Over time, it has led to highly refined stimulation strategies, advanced laboratory optimization, and a deeply individualized approach to embryo development in challenging cases.
At Bahçeci Fertility, treatment is never based on a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Each IVF plan is designed around your unique biology. Hormone levels, ovarian response, previous treatment history, and real-time cycle dynamics are carefully evaluated. Medication types, dosages, timing, and laboratory decisions are continuously adjusted throughout the cycle.
This level of personalization is especially critical in low ovarian reserve cases, where even small changes can significantly impact outcomes.
We also believe it’s important to be clear and honest from the very beginning.
Our goal is not to rush into treatment at any cost. Your journey starts with a detailed hormonal and medical assessment. In some cases, we may first focus on preparing your body before starting IVF.
This preparation phase can include calming the ovaries, optimizing the hormonal environment, and using targeted medical support or supplements.
Today, our success rates with own-egg IVF exceed many reported across Europe and the United States. We regularly achieve high-quality embryo development and clinical pregnancies in women who were previously told their chances were very low.
These results are not rare exceptions. Treating low AMH and diminished ovarian reserve patients is something we do every single day.
No waiting lists, no BMI or age limits. Some clinics limit treatment to specific patient groups to maintain standard success statistics. At Bahçeci, we take a different approach. We look at the full medical picture, not just numbers.
If your overall health allows, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to support your body and give you the best possible chance.
Your biology is unique. Your treatment plan should be too.
In our ESHRE-certified laboratory, quality and performance are carefully validated, and the latest technologies are integrated into every step of treatment.
