In 2025, IVF continues to evolve, offering new hope to individuals and couples looking to start or grow their families. With advancements in medical technology, improved accessibility, and increasing global awareness, the landscape of fertility treatments is shifting rapidly. Here’s what to expect for IVF in 2025.

Advancements in IVF Technology

One of the biggest changes in IVF in 2025 is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in embryo selection. AI algorithms are now being used to analyse embryos, predicting which ones have the highest chance of implantation and resulting in a successful pregnancy. This reduces the number of failed cycles and increases success rates, making the process more efficient and less emotionally and financially draining.

Another major advancement is non-invasive embryo testing. Traditionally, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) required taking a small biopsy from the embryo, which carried a slight risk of damage. In 2025, clinics are utilizing non-invasive PGT techniques that analyse the embryo’s genetic material from surrounding fluid, making the process safer and more accurate.

Our story of IVF was never about miracles—it was about science, perseverance, and sheer determination. When we embarked on our journey to parenthood, it wasn’t luck that brought us here; it was years of research, tough decisions, and a willingness to fight for the family we longed for. And at the heart of it all is our son, Forrest—the result of a journey that was anything but easy.

A Dream Worth Fighting For

After my diagnosis of hydrosalpinx and the subsequent battle to undergo surgery, the next step was IVF. Some people believe IVF is a shortcut to conception, but for those of us who have walked this path, we know it’s anything but simple. The injections, the endless blood tests, the waiting—every stage is a test of patience and resilience.

For us, the journey took us to Istanbul, Turkey, where we found the right medical care, expertise, and affordability to make our dream possible. It wasn’t just about choosing a clinic; it was about stepping into the unknown, taking control, and refusing to let obstacles dictate our future.

Hydrosalpinx is a condition that can silently impact fertility, often going undiagnosed until a woman seeks help with conceiving. It occurs when the fallopian tubes become blocked and filled with fluid, making natural conception difficult. In this blog, I share my personal journey with hydrosalpinx, how it impacted my fertility, and the treatments available. If you're going through a similar experience, know that you’re not alone—there are options and support available to help you take control of your fertility journey.

Our IVF journey began with a deeply personal trip to Turkey, where the fusion of world-class medical care and cultural exploration opened a new chapter in our lives. After facing infertility, the diagnosis of hydrosalpinx, and the delays of the pandemic, we took control of our path and pursued IVF abroad. What started as a medical trip soon turned into a life-changing family adventure, filled with vibrant bazaars, stunning views, and unforgettable moments.

Through this experience, we discovered not only the strength within ourselves but also the power of combining personal well-being with travel. It was here that the spark for Journawell was ignited—our mission to guide others through their unique journeys with tailored support and unforgettable experiences. Turkey will always be special to us, not only for its incredible care and culture but for inspiring a dream that has now become a reality: helping others navigate their own extraordinary adventures, no matter where life takes them.
