Microsort in North Cyprus




Microsort is a pre-conception sperm sorting technology developed by Genetics and IVF Institute of the United States. The technology became available through a clinical study where sperm was sorted into those that primarily produce girls and those that primarily produce boys. Through a series of studies, microsort was found to be 90% effective in gender selection for a girl and about 75% effective for gender selection for a boy. Microsort became available in Mexico first.

North Cyprus IVF clinic is proud to announce that Cyprus is going to be the second location in the world to offer Microsort, the pre-conception sperm sorting technology for gender selection for family balancing purposes. Microsort will be available through artificial insemination (IUI), through IVF and through IVF with PGD.

If the sperm separated through microsort is used in IVF treatment, the probability of having a female or a male child will be around 90% and 75% respectively. If microsort is coupled with PGD (pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) where the embryos formed after microsort are subjected to genetic screening both for gender and for certain genetic diseases. Using the two gender selection methods together both enable obtaining a good number of embryos of desired sex as well as screening for further genetic diseases and making sure almost 100% that the procedure will result in a pregnancy with a baby of desired sex.


As North Cyprus IVF, we continue to bring you the latest technology and highest standards in IVF treatment. Our difference is our success rates!

Infertility and IVF



At North Cyprus IVF Clinic, a thorough investigation is called for when making an assessment of your treatment options. It is important that the cause of infertility is mostly known when planning for treatment. 


When natural conception methods fail to produce pregnancy, IVF becomes an option. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the womb, in vitro. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium. The fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy. The first "test tube baby", Louise Brown, was born in 1978. Initially IVF was developed to overcome infertility due to problems of the fallopian tube, but it turned out that it was successful in many other infertility situations as well. The introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) addresses the problem of male infertility to a large extent. (Male infertility consists of failure to produce sperm.)

For IVF to be successful it may be easier to say that it requires healthy ova, sperm that can fertilize, and a uterus that can maintain a pregnancy. At North Cyprus IVF, before starting to plan your treatment, we make sure all of these conditions are met.

IVF can be used for females who have already gone through menopause. The donated oocyte from a healthy young woman can be fertilized in a crucible. If the fertilization is successful, the zygote will be transferred into the uterus, within which it will develop into an embryo.

Treatment cycles are typically started on the third day of menstruation and consist of a regimen of fertility medications to stimulate the development of multiple follicles of the ovaries. In most patients injectable gonadotropins (usually FSH analogues) are used under close monitoring. Such monitoring frequently checks the estradiol level and, by means of gynecologic ultrasonography, follicular growth. Typically approximately 10 days of injections will be necessary. Spontaneous ovulation during the cycle is typically prevented by the use of GnRH agonists or GnRH antagonists, which block the natural surge of luteinizing hormone (LH).



When follicular maturation is judged to be adequate, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is given. This agent, which acts as an analogue of luteinizing hormone, would cause ovulation about 42 hours after injection, but a retrieval procedure takes place just prior to that, in order to recover the egg cells from the ovary. The eggs are retrieved from the patient using a transvaginal technique involving an ultrasound-guided needle piercing the vaginal wall to reach the ovaries. Through this needle follicles can be aspirated, and the follicular fluid is handed to the IVF laboratory to identify ova. It is common to remove between ten and thirty eggs. The retrieval procedure takes about 20 minutes and is usually done under conscious sedation or general anesthesia.



In the laboratory, the identified eggs are stripped of surrounding cells and prepared for fertilization. In the meantime, semen is prepared for fertilization by removing inactive cells and seminal fluid. If semen is being provided by a sperm donor, it will usually have been prepared for treatment before being frozen and quarantined, and it will be thawed ready for use. The sperm and the egg are incubated together at a ratio of about 75,000:1 in the culture media for about 18 hours. In most cases, the egg will be fertilized by that time and the fertilized egg will show two pronuclei. In certain situations, such as low sperm count or motility, a single sperm may be injected directly into the egg using intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The fertilized egg is passed to a special growth medium and left for about 72 hours until the egg consists of eight cells.

DPI a Chypre


DPI (diagnostic pré-implantatoire génétique) technologie améliore la probabilité d'une grossesse et une naissance réussie pour deux groupes distincts de patients. Couples souffrant d'infertilité liée à des cycles de FIV fausse couche ou un échec récurrentes et les couples qui sont à risque de transmettre une maladie génétique héréditaire à leur progéniture.

PGD ​​diagnostic génétique est effectué dans le cadre d'un cours du cycle de fécondation in vitro, où plusieurs ovules sont produites, récupérées par les ovaires et fécondés avec le sperme du mari dans le laboratoire d'embryologie. La FIV est nécessaire de nous donner accès à l'embryon in vitro. Lors de leur premier stade de développement, une ou deux cellules sont retirés de chaque embryon par une procédure appelée biopsie embryonnaire. Ces cellules sont analysés dans le laboratoire DPI pour déterminer quels embryons sont exempts d'anomalies génétiques. Ces tests sophistiqués et technologiquement avancé qui identifie les embryons sont exempts d'anomalies et plus aptes à atteindre l'objectif d'un bébé en bonne santé du patient. Le DPI peut dépister les troubles génétiques dans les chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 et 21, qui constituent environ 85% de toutes les grandes maladies génétiques comme le syndrome de Down, Tay Sachs et le syndrome de Klinefelter et beaucoup plus.

PGD ​​tetsing est également une option lorsque les patients nécessitant une analyse d'un trouble génétique spécifique. Lorsque le gène qui porte le trouble génétique est identifiée, l'analyse d'un seul gène peut être réalisée de manière à filtrer le trouble spécifique. Une sonde spéciale DPI peut être construit à cet effet, tant que la cause spécifique de la maladie génétique a été identifié.

PGD ​​tests génétiques est également une option lorsque les familles voudraient choisir le sexe de leur bébé à des fins d'équilibrage de la famille. La biopsie embryonnaire ne sera pas seulement nous permettre de sélectionner des embryons exempts d'anomalies génétiques, mais nous permettra également de déterminer le sexe des embryons. Une fois que le DPI est effectuée, la chance d'avoir un bébé du sexe désiré est très proche de 100% une fois que la grossesse est atteint. Ce processus est également connu comme la sélection du sexe (la sélection du sexe) FIV.

Egg Donation (Donor Egg IVF) Questions


1- Who is a good candidate for egg (oocyte) donor IVF?
Women with severely depleted ovarian reserves, women with highly elevated FSH, women in early menopause or with removed ovaries and women who have been subjected to cancer treatment are all candidates for egg donor IVF. In general, egg donation is for women who are not able to produce any eggs that are viable for fertilization.
 

2- Who are your egg donors?
At North Cyprus IVF, our egg donors are predominantly composed of international university students aged between 20-25.
 

3- How are egg donors screened?
Our egg donors undergo a very strict screening process. First, there is a psychological consultation where egg donors' mental status are assessed. If an egg donor is found mentally fit, then there is a background check of family medical history. Once the medical history is assessed, then comes infectious diseases testing, CBC analysis and hormone testing for an assessment of ovarian reserves and egg quality. Only donors who are non-smokers and with healthy BMIs are admitted into our program.
 

4- Do I get to pick my own donor?
Absolutely! You will need to provide us with your menstrual period information, you and your husband's blood types and your physical features so that we can narrow list our potential donors and send you a list of profiles. However, for anonymity purposes, we are not able to share pictures or any contact information.
 

5- What are your success rates for egg donor IVF?
Our overall success rate including all age groups for egg donation in 2011 was 72.8%. For more information on our success rates, please view our success statistics for 2011.


6- How many egg donation cycles do you perform in a given year?
On average, we perform about 350-400 egg donor IVF cycles.


7- What is the cost of egg donor IVF at North Cyprus IVF Clinic?
For most accurate cost information for egg donation including our accommodation packages, please contact us using the contact form.

Travaux Préliminaires


L'obtention de médicaments:
Pour obtenir vos médicaments, vous pouvez contacter votre gynécologue local et gentiment leur demander de vous écrire une commande de sorte que vous pouvez acheter vos médicaments sur place à la pharmacie, ou, vous pouvez utiliser la pharmacie Fazeley situé au Royaume-Uni.
La pharmacie Fazeley est une pharmacie internationale et ils peuvent livrer dans le monde entier. Toutefois, si vous n'êtes pas situé au Royaume-Uni, vous devrez prévoir au moins 12 jours à partir du jour de votre commande jusqu'à ce que le médicament arrive. La pharmacie également payer une commission de 25 STG pour transcrire nos prescriptions dans une ordonnance au Royaume-Uni. Vous pouvez communiquer avec la pharmacie au info@fertility2u.com ou alternativement, vous pouvez utiliser le Site Webhttp :/ / www.fertility2u.com. Mme Bushra est le directeur et elle se fera un plaisir de vous aider à démêler vos besoins en médicaments.

Vitamines:
Les vitamines sont une partie essentielle de votre traitement. Il a été montré que les suppléments d'acide folique non seulement vous aider à maintenir un pregnanyc en bonne santé, mais aussi aider au développement neural de votre bébé, par conséquent, il est important de commencer à utiliser l'acide folique avant le transfert d'embryon et de continuer à l'utiliser pendant toute la durée de votre grossesse.
De même, l'utilisation des comprimés de vitamine C (précisément 500 mg) a été identifié avec une meilleure qualité d'oeufs récupérés, par conséquent, il sera important d'utiliser des suppléments de vitamine C par jour pendant au moins 2-3 semaines avant le prélèvement des ovules.
Enfin, parce que votre apport alimentaire quotidien peut pas vous fournir tous les nutriments essentiels, il sera important d'utiliser un complexe de vitamine prénatale avant et tout au long de votre grossesse. Pregnacare ou tout autre complexe de vitamines prénatales une par jour seront utiles.

L'utilisation de médicaments:
Certains des médicaments que vous allez utiliser dans votre protocole sont sous forme de comprimés, de sorte qu'ils sont utilisés par voie orale. Toutefois, certains des médicaments sont sous forme d'injection, par conséquent, il peut être un peu plus compliqué à administrer. Certains patients trouvent qu'il est utile d'avoir des injections administrées par une infirmière ou un médecin en premier afin qu'ils puissent apprendre comment le faire et ils peuvent le faire eux-mêmes afterwords. Les injections que nous utilisons dans le traitement de fertilité sont sous-Q, le sens, ils sont administrés juste sous la peau. S'il vous plaît regarder les vidéos ci-dessous pour préparer et administrer les injections de GONAL-F:
Vidéo suivante fournit des informations sur le réglage de mélange et de dosage.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMklbInsQGk
Après avoir regardé la vidéo sur le lien ci-dessus, s'il vous plaît voir la vidéo sur le lien ci-dessous sur l'administration de l'injection:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHEyyB0IKNY
Même si le moment précis des injections ne fait pas beaucoup de différence en ce qui concerne les résultats, le temps écoulé entre chaque injection fait. Par conséquent, il est important d'être cohérent avec vos horaires d'injection. Assurez-vous qu'il ya environ 24 heures entre chaque injection. Par exemple, si vous administrez votre Gonal-F à 8 heures du matin le premier jour, assurez-vous que vous administrez autour de la même heure le jour suivant. A quelques heures de différence est acceptable.

Où obtenir vos analyses?
Parce que la majorité de nos patients proviennent de l'étranger, et étant donné que dans nos vies trépidantes, nous avons tous le travail / famille ou d'autres engagements, tous ne sont pas en mesure de voyager pour le traitement pendant une longue période de temps. Afin de raccourcir la durée de votre séjour, sans compromettre vos chances de succès, nos protocoles sont préparés de sorte que vous pouvez avoir accès à vos médicaments et de suivre un certain calendrier de traitement avant votre arrivée à Chypre. Cela réduit votre séjour jusqu'à 8 jours. Toutefois, en attendant, pendant que vous utilisez votre médicament, vous aurez besoin d'avoir un couple de balayages afin d'observer la façon dont vous réagissez à ce médicament et si nous avons besoin de tout ajustement de dose ou des frais supplémentaires. Pour ce faire, vous pouvez soit consulter votre propre gynécologue pour les examens s'ils sont prêts à coopérer, ou utiliser l'un des endroits que nous recommandons.
1 - Pour les patients du Royaume-Uni, de le chérir Royaume-Uni est un endroit idéal pour les tests d'hormones et d'autres travaux de sang ainsi que des scans. Subsidiairement, la Société de naissance est également capable de fournir à nos patients avec leurs tests préliminaires et des analyses.
2 - Pour les patients aux États-Unis, nous avons un certain nombre d'endroits que nous pouvons recommander. Cependant, depuis les Etats-Unis a une très grande geaography, nos emplacements peuvent avoir besoin de transport aérien, qui ne peut être pratique pour tous les patients. S'il vous plaît demander Ahmet directement sur les sites américains.
3 - Pour les patients de la Turquie, il est un lieu presque dans chaque ville où nous pouvons recommander pour vos scans, veuillez demander Ahmet sur ces emplacements.
4 - Pour les patients des Pays-Bas, nous avons un représentant local qui sera en charge de tout le travail préliminaire, M. Bert Van Delen. Nous allons vous mettre en contact avec lui une fois que vous êtes admis dans notre programme de traitement.
5 - Pour les autres pays, merci de nous demander si nous avons des recommandations. Nous avons des options pour les patients de l'Allemagne, la Suisse, l'Italie et la France, mais seulement dans les capitales.

Voyager à Chypre:
Chypre est un pays où le climat est généralement chaud pendant l'hiver et chaud en été. Il sera en 10s inférieurs au cours de l'hiver et supérieure 30s pendant l'été, alors assurez-vous d'emballer vos vêtements en fonction de la météo.
Il ya deux routes de voyage à Chypre. On est arrivés à l'aéroport d'Ercan dans le Nord, qui est à environ 10 minutes en voiture de notre clinique. L'aéroport ne dispose pas de liaisons aériennes directl, donc, il y aura un touché en Turquie pendant une brève période. Vous pouvez vouloir vérifier flypgs.com ou turkishairlines.com pour obtenir des informations sur les prix.
La seconde alternative est de se rendre aux aéroports de Larnaca ou Paphpos dans le Sud. Cela nécessiterait un passage de la frontière et à environ 90 minutes de temps de trajet pour rejoindre le Nord. S'il n'y a pas d'énormes économies avec cette option, nous recommandons souvent l'aéroport d'Ercan en raison de sa commodité.
Les prises électriques à Chypre sont similaires à ceux du Royaume-Uni, cependant, les patients qui voyagent dans d'autres pays devraient apporter un adaptateur avec eux s'ils ont l'intention de mettre les équipements électriques avec eux (séchoirs à air chaud, des chargeurs de téléphone portable).
N'utilisez pas votre téléphone cellulaire excessive à moins que vous devez. Les frais d'itinérance excessifs et vous feront face à une facture énorme à votre retour, par conséquent, il sera sage d'obtenir une puce de téléphone prépayée avec l'un des opérateurs locaux à utiliser dans votre téléphone cellulaire pour éviter ces frais.
Si vous séjournez à l'Hôtel Golden Tulip, il est très bien situé juste à côté de la clinique. Vous trouverez de nombreux restaurants et sites de magasinage à pied. Si vous séjournez dans la maison d'hôtes, vous aurez toujours accès aux supermarchés, et quelques lieux de restauration. La maison d'hôtes est à environ 10 minutes en voiture de la clinique, mais notre chauffeur sera en mesure de vous ramener en arrière pour vos appoitments.

Erforderliche Tests - IVF


Bestimmte Tests sind erforderlich, bevor wir mit der IVF-Behandlung fortgesetzt werden kann. Einige dieser Tests sind für jeden IVF Patienten unabhängig von der Behandlung Option sie wählen. Das sind die infektiösen ansteckende Krankheit Tests, einschließlich:

HBsAg, Anti-HCV und Anti-HIV-Tests sowohl für die männlichen und die weiblichen Partner.

Zudem benötigen wir weitere Tests forVDRL und Röteln IgG des weiblichen Partner.

Das Ziel des Tests für Infektionskrankheiten ist, um sicherzustellen, dass diese Krankheiten sind nicht auf den Neugeborenen (oder die Leihmutter im Fall von Leihmutterschaft) geleitet. Diese Tests können vor Ihrer Ankunft in unserer Klinik in Zypern durchgeführt werden oder, wenn Sie ankommen in unserer Klinik. Es ist jedoch erforderlich, dass wir diese Testergebnisse zu sehen, bevor der Embryo-Transfer Bühne.

Zudem benötigen wir bestimmte Tests für Patienten der konventionellen IVF, Samenspende IVF oder IVF Gender Selection. Das sind die Hormon-Tests am 3. Tag des Menstruationszyklus der Patientin durchgeführt werden. Das Ziel der Tests ist es, Hormon Ei Qualität und Quantität von der Patientin hergestellt identifizieren. Diese Testergebnisse werden uns über die Verwendbarkeit der Patientin die Eier in der IVF-Verfahren zu erzählen. Sie sollten im Hinterkopf behalten, dass das Alter ist auch ein sehr wichtiger Faktor. Eine weibliche im Alter von über 40 mit akzeptablen Testergebnisse können immer noch eine sehr geringe Chance der IVF durch höheres Alter. Die Hormon-Tests benötigen wir die folgenden:

FSH: Follikel stimulierendes Hormon (FSH) ist eines der wichtigsten Hormone im natürlichen Menstruationszyklus sowie in der pharmakologischen (Drogenkonsum) Stimulation der Eierstöcke beteiligt. Es ist das wichtigste Hormon in der Herstellung von reifen Eizellen in den Eierstöcken beteiligt. Wir betrachten normalen FSH-Spiegel, etwas weniger als 9 sein. Als Ebenen über 9 gehen wir oft eine Reduktion der Antwort auf Eierstock-stimulierenden Drogen

LH: Die Luitenizing Hormon (LH)-Test ist für eine Vielzahl von Gründen verwendet. Es wird normalerweise verwendet, um festzustellen, wann eine Frau Eisprung, so dass Eier für eine IVF-Verfahren abgerufen werden können. An Tag 3 sind normale LH-Werte zwischen 3 und 10 mIU / mL. LH-Spiegel kann auch künstlich durch Ovulation induzierende Medikamente wie Clomifen Citrat (Clomid) angehoben werden.

E2: Aufgeführt am 3. Tag des Menstruationszyklus, ist der Test ein Estradiol der häufigsten Fruchtbarkeit Testverfahren. Die meisten Frauen, die sich Fruchtbarkeit Behandlungen erhalten die Estradiol-Test. Frauen haben ein bestimmtes Niveau von Estradiol in verschiedenen Phasen ihres Menstruationszyklus. Durch die Analyse dieser Ebenen an Tag 3, können Sie Ihre reproduktive Endokrinologe bestimmen Ihre ovarielle Reserve. Normal Day 3 Östradiolspiegel neigen dazu, etwa 80 pg / ml oder niedriger sein. Wenn Ihr Östradiolspiegel höher als diese sind, könnte als dies auf ein Problem mit Ihrem Eisprung

PRL: Prolaktin ist das "Milch produzierenden Hormons" durch die Hypophyse. Erhöhte Prolaktin-Spiegel muss für eine erfolgreiche Konzeption reduziert werden auftreten.

Patienten, die sich herkömmlichen IVF, IVF Gender Selection oder Eizellspende IVF werden auch gebeten, ein Spermiogramm Bericht einschließlich Spermienzahl, Motilität und Morphologie liefern. Dies soll sicherstellen, dass der männliche Partner in der Lage, gesunde Spermien produzieren und kann in der IVF-Verfahren verwendet werden.

Zusätzliche Tests können in einem Fall, in spezifischer Weise erforderlich. Für weitere Informationen über Ihre spezifischen Fruchtbarkeit Behandlung und Prüfung, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte über das Web-Kontaktformular.

Gender Selection (PGD/MicroSort) Questions

Why do I need to get hormone tests done if I already have children?
The hormone tests are requested in order for the Dr. to better understand the quality and quantity of eggs and provide a personalized and detailed treatment for each individual patient.

Why do I need to have an ultrasound before I begin treatment?
The ultrasound is requested in order to make sure there are no ovarian cysts, polyps or anything else that might stand in the way of a successful IVF cycle.

What is the difference between Microsort and PGD?
Microsort is a pre-fertilization gender selection method which is used to sort sperm into male and female producing cells. It is about 80% accurate for selection of a boy and 90% accurate for selection of a girl. This way, we can make sure majority of your embryos to be fertilized will be of desired sex.
PGD, on the other hand, is a post-fertilization gender selection method where the embryos that are fertilized are subjected to a genetic analysis for sex selection. Even though PGD provides 99.9% accuracy for gender selection, and it also tests for majority of possible genetic disorders, making sure your child does not have them, it cannot guarantee that majority of your embryos will turn out to be of desired sex.
The best gender selection method is to combine microsort with PGD so that you can be sure that you will have a number of embryos which are of desired sex, anda re free of most genetic conditions.

What is the HCG trigger injection for?
This shot is for women who are using their own eggs and it helps release the mature eggs from the follicles and is usually done 35 hours before egg collection. It is the final step in assisting the maturation process and ensure the eggs are released from the follicles.
This is generally done in Cyprus but can be done before traveling in order to shortent the stay.

What does Gonal F do?
This is a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to help increase the number of growing follicles and their development. The dosage will be prescribed based on the inital hormone test results and varies from individual to individual. This is in fact one of the reasons this test is prescribed prior to starting treatment even if the patient has no infertility issues and has conceived children successfully before.

What does Menopur do?
Menopur is also used for follicle growth and development and contains follicle stimulating hormone as well as luteinising hormone (LH). This is a combination we prefer for women older than 35 years of age as quite a large number of studies, and our experience, suggest that LH can be a good supplement for optimizing egg quality for women over 35 years of age.

Can I travel with the injections?
The injections will need to be checked in with your luggage but there should be no problems traveling with them.

Do we have to use the accommodation offered in your packages?
Some patients decide they would prefer to select their own accommodation which is no problem for us. If you would like to still take advantage of the free ground transfers however, it is preferable that your hotel be in Nicosia (Lefkosa) North Cyprus.

Why do I need to have scans during medication use?
The scans for Egg Donation patients are requested in order to make sure that the lining of the womb is ready for the embryo transfer.
The scans for women using their own eggs (IVF with ICSI and Gender Selection/PGD) is to ensure the follicles are developing well before egg collection.
It is important to let us know the results of the scans so that we can adjust your treatment schedule and medication intake if necessary.

How are the injections done?
The Gonal F injections should be done subcutaneously either in the abdomen/stomach area, naval area or upper thigh where there is excess skin and fatty tissues. It is recommended to vary the injection site.
Please watch the videos below for preparing and administering the medication.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMklbInsQGk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHEyyB0IKNY

When are the eggs collected?
The eggs are generally collected on day 15 of the cycle after an ultrasound and the trigger injection.

When is the embryo transferred?
We usually prefer to transfer embryos on day 18 of menstrual period, which is the best implantation window. However, days 17-20 are acceptable embryo transfer dates. If patients are undergoing PGD analysis, then the transfer is delayed by 2 days until the embryos reach the blastocyst stage and are transferred on day 20. This of course might vary from patient to patient. We can transfer up to 3 embryos at our clinic.

What chromosomes are examined with PGD?
During the PGD biopsy we test chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21 which are causes of close to 90% of abnormalities.

What happens if we have left over embryos?
Many patients will choose to freeze the embryos in case they need it in the future, other patients will ask for the remaining embryos to be destroyed or used during our clinical studies so we can keep offering you the highest quality service through our own research and clinical studies.

When do I do the pregnancy test?
The pregnancy blood test is suggested 12 days after the embryo transfer.

What happens after a positive pregnancy result?
After a positive result you will continue to take medication for 11 weeks after the embryo transfer. Normally this will be Crinone Gel (Progesterone) and Aspirin. Prenatal vitamin supplements can be used for the entire pregnancy term.

Quelques avis de plus chez nos patients:

La clinique est très soigné et propre et le personnel est très sympathique, il n'y avait pas de problèmes de langue comme le Dr idil et Angie sont bien les filles anglaises parlées, le Dr Savas est très concentré. Tous nos requêtes et questions ont été répondues, les choses étaient différentes, mais rien que je puisse critisize vraiment, j'ai adoré Chypre et son peuple qui ont toujours le sourire et ne pas nous faire sentir différent des formes, mais surtout j'ai adoré la nourriture. Nous sommes réellement envisagez d'acheter la propriété là-bas, nous avons tellement adoré. Je conseillerais il allll ma famille et mes amis.

Nous avons entendu parler de la clinique après un traitement de FIV a échoué dans une clinique anglaise bien connue, ce qui était très agréable avec tout haut tec, mais aussi un prix élevé tec! Un ami nous a parlé de Chypre du Nord clinique de la FIV comme elle avait deux amies enceintes de leur traitement il, une avec lits jumeaux et une avec des triplés! Nous avons décidé après mûre réflexion pour essayer de la clinique et je suis tellement heureux que nous avons fait comme nos jumeaux sont dus en April.We essayé 5 ans pour commencer notre famille. La clinique semblait un peu daté après notre traitement au Royaume-Uni, mais le personnel était toujours serviable et nos résultats en ce qui me concerne parlent d'eux-mêmes. Nous n'avons jamais pensé que je tombe enceinte et je suis sûr que, en combinant la FIV d'être à l'étranger (nous avons traité comme un jour férié!) Fait toute la différence. Nous ne pourrons jamais remercier tout le personnel suffisant pour faire de nos rêves.

La communication fantastique commencé à vous! Et puis le personnel de la clinique ont été brillants. Toutes les questions ont été répondues dans son intégralité. Ils étaient honnêtes au sujet des résultats possibles mais très rassurante. Et cela a fonctionné. J'ai un beau mois bébé 8. Je ferai ce nouveau l'été prochain si je peux obtenir de l'argent en même temps. Ils sont professionnels et très expérimentés. Merci beaucoup.

Le décor de la clinique est un peu rustique qui n'est pas ce que nous attendions, mais les lieux qui comptent comme le bloc opératoire étaient regard de l'art. Le personnel était sympa et bien que pas beaucoup parlent Enflish ceux qui ne parlaient couramment et utile. Globalement, j'ai été très impressionné et je le recommande comme je l'ai été, pour ceux qui ont besoin de traitement. Nous avions FIV en utilisant nos propres ovules et les spermatozoïdes et atteint notre taux de fécondité le plus élevé que nous ayons jamais eu et mes triplés maintenant âgé de 10 mois.

Tandem IVF Cylce at North Cyprus IVF








Gaining great popularity within the last few years, Tandem Cycling allows women with lowered ovarian reserves to have a shot at pregnancy using their own eggs, but at the same time having a back-up egg reserves through the use of an egg donor. A tandem cycle allows you to receive a lower dose of medication since you will only be needing a few good quality eggs. At the end of this process, you get to decide what combination of your own eggs and donor eggs to use. This also allows you to have a go with your own eggs first and freeze donor's eggs for a future cycle without facing the cost of two separate cycles.

A tandem cycle is a great option for older women and for women with elevated FSH levels. A tandem cycle can be seen as investing in two different stocks to divide the risk of your investment, so the risk is minimized. A tandem cycle gives you the option of using your own eggs in your treatment, bit if worst comes to worst, you have your back-up eggs that comes from your egg donor, so you do not have to go through yet another IVF cycle.

At North Cyprus IVF, we have been providing tandem cycle treatment for some time with some great success stories. Especially when a combination of your eggs and your donor's eggs are used, the chances of success tend to go up dramatically. Furthermore, the fact you are given a chance that one of your own embryos with your own genetic material could be the one embryo to produce pregnancy, you might feel more positive about using a tandem cycle as opposed to using solely donor eggs.

The main difference between egg donation and a tandem cycle is that, the patient also receives medication to stimulate her ovaries in order to produce eggs. At the end of the process, both sets of eggs are collected and based on the outcome, the patients are offered a variety of alternatives.

However, just like in an egg donation cycle, the patients are asked to provide with the following information for an accurate donor matching process:

- Female patient's physical features (skin, hair and eye color)
- Female patient's menstrual period information
- Female partner's picture for a more accurate matching
- Female and male partner's blood types.

PGD - Gender (Sex) Selection IVF in Cyprus



At North Cyprus IVF, one of the treatment options that we offer is PGD for genetic testing and family balancing purposes.

Gender (sex) selection IVF is also a growing concept in the field of IVF. Allowing parents to choose the sex of their baby prior to conception has raised a number of debates on the issue, but regardless of what has been said and written on the subject, sex selection has been a way balancing families and eliminating genetic disorders that are associated with X or Y chromosomes.

PGD genetic testing is also an option when families would like to select the gender of their baby for family balancing purposes. The embryo biopsy will not only allow us to select embryos that are free of genetic abnormalities, but will also allow us to determine the sex of the embryos. Once PGD is performed, the chance of having a baby of desired sex is very close to 100% once pregnancy is achieved. This process is also known as gender selection (sex selection) IVF.

PGD works very much like conventional IVF. The only difference is; embryos that are formed in the laboratory are subjected to a biopsy and a series of genetic tests before transferred into the uterus.

New technologies are now allowing some couples to choose the sex of their child before pregnancy. Many couples wish to have a child of a particular sex in order to prevent certain medical illness or to help balance their families and this is known as gender (sex) selection IVF. North Cyprus Fertility Clinic is the only clinic in Cyprus with its own genetics department, which allows performing gender selection IVF treatment in house.

PGD is one of the most successful methods when it comes to gender selection. This is a complex procedure that involves the creation of embryos that are then analyzed for cell structure and DNA. Embryos are created in a laboratory and allowed to divide. After three or four days, one cell from each dividing embryo is removed and analyzed for DNA and genetic material. Once the sex of the embryos are determined, only those embryos of the desired sex are implanted into the mother’s uterus through IVF. PGD is highly successful, giving you a 99% chance of having a child of the desired gender.

Gender Selection IVF works very much like the IVF procedures explained in the “IVF” section under “Our Services”. However, the embryos that are formed using the IVF procedures undergo genetic testing known as PGD before they are transferred into the uterus. Therefore, in gender selection IVF, the five step IVF procedure requires a sixth step, which comes right before the embryo transfer step.

North Cyprus Fertility Clinic offers low cost, high success Gender (sex) selection IVF by using state of the art technology in fertility treatment and a team of experts. Our genetics laboratory employs a biogenetical engineer, a PhD embryologist and a lab assistant. We are the very first IVF clinic with two separate IVF laboratories and its own research center.

PGD testing for Genetic Disorders










PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis) technology improves the likelihood of a successful pregnancy and birth for two distinctly different groups of patients. Couples with infertility related to recurrent miscarriage or unsuccessful IVF cycles and couples who are at risk for passing on inherited genetic disease to their offspring.

PGD genetic diagnosis is performed as a part of an In Vitro Fertilization cycle where multiple eggs are produced, retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with the husband's sperm in the Embryology Laboratory. IVF is necessary to give us access to the embryo in vitro. At their earliest stage of development, one or two cells are removed from each embryo through a procedure called embryo biopsy. These cells are analyzed in the PGD Laboratory to determine which embryos are free of genetic abnormalities. This sophisticated and technologically advanced testing identifies which embryos are free of abnormalities and more able to achieve the patient's goal of a healthy baby. PGD can screen for genetic disorders in chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21, which make up for about 85% of all major genetic conditions such as Down's syndrome, Tay Sachs and klinefelter's syndrome and many more.

PGD tetsing is also an option when patients require screening for a specific genetic disorder. When the gene that carries the genetic disorder is identified, single gene analysis can be performed in order to screen for the specific disorder. A special PGD probe can be built for this purpose as long as the specific cause of the genetic condition has been identified.

PGD genetic testing is also an option when families would like to select the gender of their baby for family balancing purposes. The embryo biopsy will not only allow us to select embryos that are free of genetic abnormalities, but will also allow us to determine the sex of the embryos. Once PGD is performed, the chance of having a baby of desired sex is very close to 100% once pregnancy is achieved. This process is also known as gender selection (sex selection) IVF.

Preliminary Work


Obtaining Medication:
In order to obtain your medication, you can either contact your local gynecologist and kindly ask them to write you an order so that you can purchase your medication locally at your pharmacy, or, you can use the Fazeley pharmacy located in the UK.
The Fazeley Pharmacy is an international pharmacy and they can deliver worldwide. However, if you are not located in the UK, you will need to allow for at least 12 days from the day of your order until the medication arrives. The pharmacy also charges a fee of 25 STG to transcribe our prescriptions into a UK prescription. You can contact the pharmacy at info@fertility2u.com or alternatively, you can use the websitehttp://www.fertility2u.com. Ms. Bushra is the director and she will gladly help you sort out your medication needs.

Vitamins:
Vitamins are an essential part of your treatment. It has been shown that folic acid supplements not only help you maintain a healthy pregnanyc, but also help with your baby’s neural development, therefore, it is important to start using folic acid prior to embryo transfer and continue using for the duration of your pregnancy.
Similarly, use of Vitamin C tablets (precisely, 500 mg) has been identified with increased quality of eggs retrieved, therefore, it will be important to use vitamin C supplements daily for at least 2-3 weeks prior to egg retrieval.
Finally, because your daily food intake may not provide you with all the essential nutrients, it will be important to use a prenatal vitamin complex prior to and throughout your pregnancy. Pregnacare or any other one-a-day prenatal vitamin complex will be useful.

Using Medication:
Some of the medication you will use in your protocol are in tablet forms, so they are used orally. However, some of the medication are in injection form, therefore, it can be a bit more complicated to administer them. Some patients find it useful to have the injections administered by a nurse or a doctor first so they can learn how to do it and they can do it themselves afterwords. The injections we use in fertility treatment are sub-Q, meaning, they are administered right under the skin. Please watch the videos below for preparing and administering the Gonal-F injections:
Following video provides information about mixing and dose adjustment.
After watching the video on the link above, please view the video on the link below on administering the injection:
Even though the specific time of the injections does not make much of a difference with respect to outcomes, the time elapsed between each injection does. Therefore, it is important to be consistent with your injection timings. Make sure that there is approximately 24 hours between each injection. For instance, if you administer your Gonal-F at 8 AM in the morning the first day, make sure you administer it around the same time the next day. A couple of hours of difference is acceptable.

Where to get your scans?
Since majority of our patients come from abroad, and given that in our hectic lives, we all have work/family or other commitments, not everyone is able to travel for treatment for a long period of time. In order to shorten the length of your stay without compromising your chances of success, our protocols are prepared so that you can have access to your medication and follow a certain treatment calendar prior to your arrival in Cyprus. This minimizes your stay down to 8 days. However, in the meanwhile, while you are using your medication, you will need to have a couple of scans in order to observe how you are responding to the medication and whether we need any dose adjustments or additional supplements. For this end, you can either see your own gynecologist for the scans if they are willing to cooperate, or use one of the locations we recommend.
1- For UK patients, Cherish UK is a great place to have hormone testing and other blood work as well as scans. Alternatively, the Birth Company is also able to provide our patients with their preliminary tests and scans. 
2- For US patients, we have a number of locations that we can recommend. However, since the US has a very large geaography, our locations may need air travel, which may not be convenient to all patients. Please ask Ahmet directly about the US locations.
3- For Turkey patients, there is a location almost in every city where we can recommend for your scans, please ask Ahmet about these locations.
4- For patients from the Netherlands, we have a local representative who will be in charge of all the preliminary work, Mr. Bert Van Delen. We will get you in touch with him once you are admitted into our treatment program.
5- For other locations, please ask us if we have any recommendations. We have options for patients from Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France, but only in the capitals.

Traveling to Cyprus:
Cyprus is a country where the weather is usually warm during winter and hot during summer. It will be in lower 10s during winter and upper 30s during summer, so make sure you pack your clothes according to the weather.
There are two routes of travel to Cyprus. One is arriving at the Ercan Airport in the North, which is about 10 minutes drive from our clinic. The airport does not have directl air links, therefore, there will be a touch down in Turkey for a brief period. You may want to check out flypgs.com or turkishairlines.com for pricing information.
The second alternative is to travel to Larnaca or Paphpos Airports in the South. This would necessitate a border crossing and approximately ninety minutes of travel time to reach the North. If there aren’t huge savings with this option, we often recommend the Ercan Airport due to its convenience.
The electric plugs in Cyprus are similar to the ones in the UK, however, patients traveling from other countries should bring an adaptor with them if they are planning on bringing electrical equipment with them (blow dryers, cell phone chargers).
Do not use your cell phone excessively unless you have to. The roaming charges will be excessive and you will face a huge bill upon your return, therefore, it will be wise to obtain a prepaid phone chip with one of the local carriers to use in your cell phone to avoid those charges.
If you are staying at the Golden Tulip Hotel, it is very conveniently located right next to the clinic. You will find plenty of dining and shopping alternatives within walking distance. If staying at the guest house, you will still have access to supermarkets, and a few dining places. The guest house is about 10 minutes driving distance from the clinic, but our driver will be able to take you back and forth for your appoitments.
