Microsort IVF and PGD



Microsort IVF (invitro fertilization) with PGD (pre-genetic diagnosis) is considered to be the most effective and accurate gender selection method available.
The treatment process and medication is the same as Microsort with IVF where the sperm is sorted into X and Y, however once the embryos are formed and have developped to the 8 cell stage, there is a biopsy perfomed for both genetic testing and gender (sex) selection.
Combining the PGD with Microsort increases the success of the desired gender from 75-90% up to 99.9% and allows for genetic testing to take place to ensure that the healthiest embryos are transfered.
PGD is a procedure that is generally recommended for older women who’s eggs have a higher risk of abnormalities.

North Cyprus Fertility Center is the only clinic in the world to offer both of these procedures together for the highest accuracy of both gender and genetic abnormality free embryos and offspring.

Microsort IVF



Microsort is the process of sorting out the male sperm into X and Y before the ICSI takes place.  The treatment resembles a regular cycle of IVF however the Microsort sperm is used for fertilizing the eggs that are retrieved. 

Depending on the development of the follicles, the egg retrieval is done and sperm is collected from both partners on the same day.
The sperm is then sorted at the Microsort facitlity and the sorted sperm is injected with ICSI into the egg. The eggs are then fertilized and incubated for development.
The embryo transfer is then performed.

The medication and dosage used is the same as a regular IVF cycle and will vary from patient to  patient.

North Cyprus Fertility Center is the first and only clinic offering Microsort to its patients.

Gender Selection PGD




Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is the technology used to improve the success of pregnancy and birth. Couples who have had repeated miscarraiges or unsuccesful IVF cycles as well as couples who might be at risk at passing inherited genetic diseases should consider having this testing done along with IVF.

PGD is also a very successful method to choose the gender of your child and is performed during the IVF cycle after multiple eggs are produced, collected and fertilized. Once the embryo has been formed, one to two cells are retrieved and an embryo biopsy is performed on it.  The cells are analyzed at our in house PGD Laboratory  to establish which embryos are healthy and free of genetic abnormalities. This testing which is sophisticated and advanced helps to ensure the baby is healthy.  This process helps to select both healthy embryos along with determining the sex of the baby.
After the PGD is performed, the chances of achiving the desired sex is 99.9%.
The PGD process is the same as regular IVF however the embryos are kept in the laboratory for a 3-4 days longer to undergo biopsy. The following chromosomes are biopsied for abnormalities: X, Y, 13, 18 and 21.

North Cyprus Fertility Clinic is the first IVF clinic in Northern Cyprus to have two separate IVF laboratories and its own research center.  This allows us to provide  low cost gender (sex) selection IVF wiht state of the art technologies and high success rates. Our genetics laboratory  team includes a biogenetical engineer, PhD embryologist and lab assistant.

Egg Donation Program



Egg Donation IVF is the treatment method for women who do not have healthy eggs for conception. The following list indicates women who are ideal candidates for egg donor IVF treatment at North Cyprus IVF clinic:

- Women who are going through premature menopause
- Women who have had their ovaries removed and therefore do not produce eggs
- Women who have undergone cancer treatment and have damaged ovaries
- Women who were born without functioning ovaries (Turner's syndrome)
- Women with poor ovartian reserves
- Women with hereditary genetic disorders
- Women who have had multiple miscarriages due to chromosomal abnormalities
- Women who have had multiple failed IVF attempts with own eggs.
- Women who are menopausal.

Who Are Egg Donors at North Cyprus IVF?

Our egg donor base is consisted predominantly of international students studying at various universities in Cyprus. As a result, majority of our egg donors are between 20-24 years of age. This is precisely why our success rates are considerably higher than most of the IVF clinics in the world. Our egg donors are very young and most of them have previous positive donation histories.

In general, our egg donor selection criteria can be summarized as follows:
- women between 20-29 years of age.
- women with BMI's between 19-24
- women with no known hereditary genetic diseases in family.
- women with no mental disability
- women who do not use drugs and do not smoke

Our egg donors undergo a very strict screening process at our clinic before they are admitted to our donation program. All egg donors go through psychological counseling and numerous infectious disease testing as well as karyotype analysis.

Microsort IUI



IUI (intrauterine insemination) treatment is generally recommended for patients in their 20’s who prefer a non-invasive alternative to IVF.

A mild dose of medication is prescribed for ovulation in order to increase the number of eggs that are produced. The male sperm is then sorted into X and Y with the Microsort procedure and inserted into the uterus once the eggs have matured and are ready for fertiization.

This method is 90% accurate for female and 75% accurate for male offspring.
As the eggs are not retrieved from the female, there is no biopsy or genetic testing performed to ensure 100% accuracy.

The success rates for IUI are about 5-30% depending on the age of the female and multiple tries might be required until pregnancy is achieved.

IVF with ICSI - North Cyprus IVF



IVF which is the common term for In Vitro Fertilization, is the process of creating an embryo using the egg and sperm in a laboratory environment. Once the embryos have been formed, the embryo transfer is physically placed in the uterus.

Here is the step by step process of the procedure:

Before embarking on the IVF procedure, we ask that you have some initial hormone test results for evaluation. These tests are FSH, LH, E2 and Prolactin and are normally done between day 2-4 of the menstrual cycle.  An alternative test would be the AMH which can be done on any day of the cycle.

Once you are considered a qualified candidate, the process can begin.

The first step is to begin with the ovulation induction with the assistance of fertility medications to control the timing and mutliple growth of the egg. The medication regimen will depend on each individual case and will be prescribed accordingly.
In order to shorten the stay in Cyprus, we monitor your medication intake to ensure good development of the follicles. Beginning the medication protocol in your home country will help keep you visit in Cyprus to 6-7 nights.
Egg retrieval is done upon arrival in Cyprus with the assistance of ultrasound imaging that guides the hollow needle through the pelvic cavity. In order to increase your comfort, light sedation and local anesthesia are used during this process. The eggs are removed by follicular aspiration.
At the same time that the eggs are collected, the sperm is also collected from the male partner. This is generally done via ejaculation but if there are any problems with it there are procedures that can be used to extract the sperm manually.

Insemination is the name of the process where the eggs and sperm are placed in incubators for the fertiliztion to occur. Most times however, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is used for greater accuracy of fertilization.
The fertilized eggs are then monitored for 3 days until they have grown enough for the embryo transfer.

During the final stage of the process which is the embryo transfer, a speculum is inserted into the vagina in order to expose the cervix. 2-3 embryos are then suspended in fluid and gently placed in the womb through a catheter. This process is also guided by ultrasound in order to confirm accuracy of embryo placement. 10-12 days after the embryo transfer the patient is asked to undergo a blood test in order to find out if the fertilization process was successful.

After Care


Once your embryo transfer has been completed, you are free to travel back to your home country. You can travel the day of the transfer or the following day as the result will not be effected.
Before you leave our clinic, we will offer you a prescription for further medication which you will need to use for approximately 12 weeks in the event of a positive pregnancy result.
If you opt not to receive the prescription it is imperative that your GP is able to provide you with this.

After a confirmed pregnancy, you will continue with your local GP to track and monitor the progress.

We are always available by phone and email for any additional support or assistance you might need.
