North Cyprus IVF Center - Gender (Sex) Selection Program



Because of some family balancing purposes or in order to prevent some sex-related genetic diseases, some couples would like to select the sex of their unborn child. At NorthCyprus IVF Center, we can legally offer the opportunity of gender selection treatment to such couples.
Identification of the right treatment method for gender selection depends on some below mentioned factors;

1) Age of the female patient: Based on the fact that, with age the ovarian reserves tend to diminish while genetic problems become more common, the age of the female partner is very important.

2) Semen analysis results for the male patient: MicroSort is one of a number of gender selection alternatives offered at North Cyprus IVF Center. Simply put, it is a sperm sorting technology that can be used for patients whose sperm concentration is more than 70 million/ml.

3) Hormone levels for the female patient: As they reflect the level of ovarian reserves and the quality of oocytes in the reserves, this piece of information helps us to get a more effective assessment of your needs and requirements to provide best suitable method of treatment.

Based on aforementioned results, we will be able to identify the right mode of treatment that best suits you. If you need any further assistance on tests and interpretation, please visit our "Male and Female Testing" section. Similarly, you may find answers to many questions about our gender selection program in the "Frequently Asked Gender Selection Questions" section.

We offer Gender Selection in 4 alternative methods at North Cyprus IVF Center;

1) MicroSort IUI for Gender Selection
This method is mostly suitable for fertile couples in their 20s because, a well inacted ovarian reserve, as well as a satisfactory sperm count, concentration, motility and morphology is required. This method is performed very similar to regular IUI. The female patient is expected to produce multiple oocytes through a very mild stimulation medication in order to increase the chances of pregnancy at the time of insemination. Subsequently, the MicroSorted sperm is injected intra-uterine. While MicroSort for gender selection with IUI treatment has 75% accuracy for gender selection for a boy, it has a 90% accuracy for gender selection for a girl.

2) MicroSort IVF for Gender Selection
Just like regular IVF-ICSI treatment, in this method the male partner’s sperm is sorted into X and Y bearing cells. The difference is that the female partner’s eggs are taken out and the sperm is injected directly into the nucleus of the egg for fertilization in the lab environment. Even thought the accuracy rates are very similar to the previously mentioned method, pregnancy rates are higher because of the fact that IVF procedures allow for multiple eggs to be fertilized and transferred back into the uterus.

3) IVF with PGD for Gender Selection
Even though it is a bit more expensive, this method not only allows us to identify the gender with 99.9%, but also gives us the chance of screening for most common genetic disorders. It is more suitable for females within the 20-35 age group and works just like regular IVF. The difference is that, a biopsy is performed once the embryos reach the 8-cell growth stage. It allows us to test for certain genetic conditions and determine the sex. Indeed, chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21, that are considered as the causes of almost 90% of all genetic-linked abnormalities are observed through this biopsy.

4) MicroSort IVF with PGD for Gender Selection
Combination of MicroSort and PGD is the best existing gender selection method offered by our clinic, especially for patients older than 35 years of age. This method combines the advantages of MicroSort and PGD technologies. While MicroSorting makes sure that majority of the sperm is sorted into the cells, PGD provides increased accuracy for gender selection and allows us to screen embryos for majority of genetic diseases.

For any more details on MicroSort, please feel free to visit our  "MicroSort Facts and Guidelines" section.

Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI)



Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) is a non-invasive, as well as a low cost fertility treatment among many fertility treatment options offered at North Cyprus IVF.  The main purpose of this treatment is to catch a higher possibility of fertilization through increasing the number of sperms that reach the fallopian tubes.

Mostly, couples with below indicated conditions prefer IUI;

Low sperm count.
Decreased sperm mobility.
Requirement of donor sperm.
A hostile cervical cases such as cervical mucus being quite thick
Sexual dysfunction

Simply put, it is the placement of a number of washed sperm directly into the uterus with the use of a catheter. Lab processes a semen sample and dispatches the sperm from the seminal fluid while the development of follicles are observed through a number of sonograms. Once the follicles reach the ideal level of growth, human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is injected in order to stimulate the release of eggs from the follicles. After 35 hours of this injection, processed sperm is injected into the uterus with a catheter.

This treatment increases the number of sperm cells that are put in the uterus and therefore brings a higher probability of conception.

Gender Selection Options




We do have alternative gender selection treatment options at our clinic, but when it comes to gender selection, a few factors are very important when determining which type of treatment will be more suited to your needs. These are mainly  the age of the female patienthormone levels to be measured at a certain time during a menstrual cycle, and the husband's semen analysis results.

The hormone profile of the female patient is most important when making an assessment of the ovarian reserve and the remaining egg quality. As age gets older, the ovarian reserves also tend to diminish at a faster pace and this affects the quality of the oocytes accordingly. Therefore, if we know exactly what type of a reserve we are looking at, we can optimize the outcome of a treatment cycle by carefully calculating the dose of medication to be administered.

There are three different types of gender selection methods offered at our clinic:

1- MicroSort IUI – Least invasive of all gender selection treatments. This is mostly offered to couples in their 20s. The male partner’s semen sample is sorted into X and Y bearing cells and the appropriate batch is injected intra-uterine for pregnancy with the child of desired sex. However, there are a few points that you should know about this procedure:
- The sort mechanism only works when the sperm concentration is more than 70 million/ml in the ejaculate. Otherwise, results are less accurate.
- MicroSort provides 90% accurate results for a girl and 80% for a boy. Therefore, it is not a 100% accurate method of gender selection.
- MicroSort is used alongside with IUI, which is the least invasive method of assisted reproduction. Success chances with IUI treatment are always much lower compared to IVF treatments.

2- IVF with PGD: Alternatively, there is a PGD option (Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) which is a genetic testing procedure done once the embryos are created. It allows us to identify the gender with 99.9% accuracy as well as screening for most common genetic disorders, making sure your baby does not possess a serious genetic condition. If the female patient is younger than 35 years of age and has a hormone profile in line with her age, then this method is usually the ideal method for gender selection.

3. MicroSort IVF with PGD: One other alternative is to combine the two methods. Combination of the two methods is usually recommended for patients older than 35 years of age with diminished ovarian reserves. If the husband's sperm concentration is within acceptable standards, then MicroSorting the sperm makes sure that most of the eggs will be fertilized into embryos of desired sex. Further PGD testing will provide a 99.9% accuracy and will also make sure that the embryos that will be transferred are free of major genetic disorders. If the female patient has only a few eggs to work with, this method will make sure we will be able to find an embryo or two that is of desired sex with the prior MicroSort intervention.

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.

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.

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.

New Testimonial


I'm back.

North Cyprus IVF clinic were FAB! Worked like clockwork from the time I asked for a quote, we were picked up from the airport driver was waiting for us, we stayed in one of their studios and it was lovely, All arranged pickup and appointments were on time and Ahmet and Angie (Patient Co-ordinators) speak prefect english. The clinic deco is a bit dated, but all of North Cyprus is like that. It was extremely clean and tidy at the clinic.

My partner and I have been very impressed with the whole 'Package'. Every effort imagenable was taken by the clinic to ensure that everything was done to give me the best possible chance to have a baby. Nothing was too much trouble. And the main thing is that the price quoted was what we paid, the only extra costs were medications and a blood test, that was clearly stated in the quote that I receive, but the prices were list and I paid what I expect. What was also excellent is that no money was asked for beforehand and infact we paid on the day of transfer and that was because we kept asking (we took cash)

We are now on the 12 day wait..... but they have estimated good percentage for success! so fingers crossed.
If anybody want's any more information, feel free to email me as good or bad result. I was a very positive experience and I would not hesitate to go back if I need to. Email horse-mad@sky.com
Good luck everyone!

Cytoplasmic Transfer



Cytoplasmic transfer is one of the latest innovations in IVF treatment. Even though cytoplasmic transfer in itself is not a treatment method, it is a procedure than can be used alongside with IVF. The main purpose of cytoplasmic transfer is to aid women who suffer from infertility due to deficient or damaged mitochondria, contained within an eggs cytoplasm.  Deficient mitochondria can lead to recurrent implantation failures and high levels of embryo fragmentation, which are causes of poor embryo development, and therefore,  a failed IVF cycle.  

Damage to mitochondria is often observed at higher ages, therefore, women in late 30s or early 40s are more prone to IVF failures due to compromised mitochondria. Cytoplasmic transfer uses the patient's own eggs but also requires a younger patient so that a healthy cytoplasm can be obtained for cytoplasmic transfer to take place. The younger patient's cytoplasm helps rejuvenate the patient's eggs and can increase the chances of success accordingly.

At North Cyprus IVF, we offer cytoplasmic transfer in order to give you a few more percentages of success. Make sure to ask us about our cytoplasmic transfer option to find out if you are suitable for this program.
