Egg Donation at North Cyprus IVF




Egg Donation IVF is a method of treatment especially for women with conception failures based on deficient or unhealthy eggs. Women with below mentioned conditions are ideal candidates for this method of treatment;

- Women who are in premature menopause or menopausal
- Women who do not produce eggs
- Women who have damaged ovaries or hereditary malfunctioning ovaries.
- Women have have weak ovarian reserves
- Women who suffer from hereditary genetic disorders
- Women who have had a couple of miscarriages because of chromosomal abnormalities
- Women with a number of failed IVF trials with her own eggs.

Egg Donors at North Cyprus IVF?

International students in Cyprus between the ages of 20 and 24 constitute our main egg donor base at North Cyprus IVF. Each goes through a strict screening process and receives psychological counseling, a number of infectious disease testings and a karyotype analysis.

Main criteria that are considered during the egg donor selection are;
- women between the ages of 20 to 29
- women with BMI's between 19 to 24
- women with no hereditary genetic diseases in family.
- women who do not suffer from a mental disability
- women who do not use drugs and do not smoke

Our Egg Donation Program

Our egg donation program is almost the same as our 5-step IVF treatment program. The only difference is that, while the egg donor receives ovulation induction medication for ovarian stimulation, female partner gets oestrogen and progesterone supplements so that her uterus becomes ready for a successful implantation.

Recommendation North Cyprus IVF

After our second visit in March 2014 to Northern Cyprus for our second attempt of IVF, our first IVF was with a different company in Cyprus

However, this IVF in March was outstanding cannot fault any of the staff, they were brilliant we were treated as individuals nothing was too much for the staff.

Their spoken English was brilliant including the Dr. Savas Ozyigit,   who tried to make me feel at ease in the Theatre on transfer day.

They have all been supportive, before and after transfer, sadly it failed but we will be back again to try, we felt like we were treated as people and not just a number like our first IVF try.

Our thanks go out to the Dr Ozyigit and  the theatre staff, and including Deedee for being there for my constant questions by email, and to Angie who nothing is and was too much for her, so thank you all, for your help and support.

I would like to say we met some wonderful people, and hope to keep in contact, see you soon for our next attempt.

Which tests will you require for treatment?




We require a series of tests for fertility assessment / fitness for pregnancy as well as infectious disease screening. Each and every test that we order serves a different purpose and each one of these tests will have an implication for your treatment.

For assessment of fertility, we ask each female patient to have the following testing done on day 2 or day 3 of their menstrual cycle: FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin, TSH and AMH hormone tests. The AMH test is independent from your menstrual cycle and can be done at any time, but our patients find it easier to have all the tests done on the same day during their visit to their doctor. It will also be important to have a base line pelvic ultrasound scan during this visit for antral follicle count in the ovaries and to check that there are no major visible problems in the uterus that can interfere with a successful pregnancy.

The male patient is required to have a semen analysis done. Especially if he has not had a child in the near past, it will be important to observe sperm parameters such as count/volume/motility/morphology/pH level and round cell count. In some cases, a small infection in sperm can compromise the whole process, therefore, it is important to be prepared for possible precautions that we may need to take.

All patients undergoing treatment at our practice are required to undergo infectious disease screening. This includes patients undergoing donor treatments as well. There are three main reasons for infectious disease screening:
1- To protect the spread of infectious diseases at our lab and to avoid exposing other patients to these diseases.
2- To avoid exposing embryos to infectious diseases that might come from their parents.
3- To protect lab personnel from exposure to infectious diseases when handling egg and sperm cells.

The validity of infectious disease testing is six (6) months. As long as patients have their testing done within the 6 month period prior to their treatment time, we do not require a repeat test. However,if patients do not have current test results, then we will administer these tests here at our practice prior to handling any samples.
Only the test results from reputable clinics and hospitals will be accepted, and original test results will need to be presented at the time of your first visit.  Photocopies and scanned email attachments are only accepted as temporary proof of testing until we see the originals.
The infectious disease tests required by our practice are as follows:
For female patient: Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV, HbsAg, VDRL, Rubella IgG, CMV IgG, and Toxoplasmosis IgG
For male patient: Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV, HbsAg, VDRL.

Tips for Conceiving: 6 Must-Try Baby-making Ideas



Trying to conceive a baby can be tougher than it sounds.  Making a baby should be as simple as having sex, but that’s not always the case.  If you’ve been trying to conceive and haven’t gotten pregnant, here are must-try baby-making ideas to help you get pregnant right away.

Use an ovulation prediction kit 
If you’ve been winging it or just having sex when you feel like the time is right, you may not be having intercourse during a time when you can conceive.  Timing intercourse close to ovulation is one of the best ways to get pregnant.  An ovulation prediction kit will tell you approximately when you will ovulate.  Once you get a positive result, you can expect to ovulate in the next day or two.  If you start having sex as soon as you get a positive result and continue for 2 or 3 days after, you will have a greater chance of conceiving.

Pick up the pace when you feel aroused or wet 
Just before ovulation you will start to feel wetter.  Your cervical mucus increases and becomes stretchy, thin, and slippery.  It will look similar to egg-whites.  If you notice egg-white mucus or you feel wet, it could likely mean that you are approaching ovulation.  Sexual arousal and an increased sex-drive are also signs that you are fertile.  Women often feel more aroused when they ovulate due to hormonal changes that happen around that time.

Aim for the "O"
Sometimes couples lose that loving feeling when they are trying to conceive, but enjoyable sex may be the key to getting pregnant.  There is some evidence that female orgasm can improve your chances of getting pregnant.  The debate is out on this, but the theory is that when a woman has an orgasm, the rhythmic contractions help to suck the sperm up into the uterus.

Stay in bed 
What goes up, might come down… and out.  This is the rationale behind staying in bed after sex.  Some women will even prop a pillow under their hips to help keep sperm inside the vagina longer.  The pillow may not be necessary, but it can’t hurt.  Staying in bed for 20 minutes after intercourse will help ensure that sperm have had time to travel towards the fallopian tubes and will help keep everything from leaking back out.

Try the Sperm Meets Egg Plan
The sperm meets egg plan is an easy to follow plan that makes timing intercourse easy.  This is how it works.  After your period, starting on cycle day 8 you should try to have sex every other day.  On cycle day 10, you should start testing with an ovulation test kit every day until you get a positive result.  Once you get a positive test you should try to have sex for 3 days in a row.  Then skip one day.  Then have sex again.

Have sex 2 days before you ovulate
Researchers have evaluated the timing of intercourse with pregnancy outcomes and what they discovered was that having intercourse two days before ovulation was the best time to get pregnant.  This is likely because of a process known as capacitation.  Capacitation takes place once sperm enter a woman’s body.  When sperm enter the reproductive track they go through a series of changes that make them more mobile and allow them to penetrate the egg.  This process takes up to 10 hours.  Thus, having sex a couple of days before ovulation, ensures that there are ready-to-fertilize sperm available when the egg is released during ovulation.

Why Egg Donation at North Cyprus IVF?


Many families are opting to have egg donation abroad since there are high wait lists and costs related to egg donation in their home countries. In the UK for example, there is a wait list of 2 years before you are eligible to become a recipient, which is a very long time for couples that have been waiting to have a baby. Along with having to wait, the costs are exceptionally high to have IVF treatment privately which is why more and more people are turning their attention to traveling abroad for treatment. In the US, the cost of egg donation is quite high and the waitlists can be long which is why couples look abroad for better more affordable alternatives. 

The Egg Donation program at North Cyprus IVF Center is anonymous which means that the donor’s identity is kept confidential and the child cannot find out any information when it is 18. This is an advantage to many couples who do not wish to share this information with their child. At North Cyprus IVF Center, we have a great selection of donors at a very fair price, and no waiting list in order to proceed. Traveling for treatment is also good for couples who wish to keep their treatment private. By combining a vacation with their plans for egg donation reduces the stresses of IVF in general. Our success rates are exceptionally high at around 70-75% which is another reason many couples are choosing to have egg donation with us.


 It is possible to begin the treatment in the UK which entails taking medication and having scans to ensure that the lining of the womb is ready for the embryo transfer in Cyprus.We have an excellent fertility clinic in our network along with a pharmacy that we work with to ensure the easiest coordination of treatment. Once you are entered into the egg donation program and your donor is selected, your treatment plan is sent to you via email so that you can begin with all of the necessary preparations. The donor is commenced on medication as well and is monitored closely in order to prepare for the egg retrieval which is generally on day 15 of the menstrual cycle.

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.

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.
