# Fertility and IVF developments in Turkey > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/fertility-and-ivf-developments-in-turkey > Updated: 2026-10-02T10:03:38.000Z. Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Medical discussions regarding IVF and fertility in Turkey have focused on both individual treatment success and broader demographic shifts. Initially, clinical perspectives emphasized that IVF success depends on personalized factors such as age, ovarian reserve, egg and sperm quality, and uterine condition, noting that metrics like Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels are not the sole indicators of pregnancy potential. More recently, reproductive medicine experts at the 5th Scientific Meeting of the Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine and Surgery (TÜBİD) addressed a significant decline in Turkey’s total fertility rate, which has fallen from approximately 2.4 to 1.4 over three decades. This trend is linked to a rising average age for first marriages. To combat these challenges, TÜBİD is collaborating with the Ministry of Health to propose new state support and age criteria for IVF access. Additionally, the field is looking toward the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence, and gene-editing technologies to transform embryology and hereditary disease management. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-02: Reproductive medicine experts discuss IVF advancements and declining fertility in Turkey Experts at the TÜBİD scientific meeting discuss declining fertility rates in Turkey and the transformative impact of AI, robotics, and gene editing on IVF treatments over the next five years. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/reproductive-medicine-experts-discuss-ivf-advancements-and-declining-fertility-in-turkey ### 2026-09-10: Doğa Seçkin outlines key factors for IVF success Expert Prof. Dr. Doğa Seçkin explains that IVF success requires personalized treatment plans considering age, ovarian reserve, egg and sperm quality, and uterine health. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/doa-sekin-outlines-key-factors-for-ivf-success --- Cite as: Fertility and IVF developments in Turkey.
