IVF Treatment with Cytoplasmic Transfer

Cytoplasmic transfer is not a method of treatment on its own. Indeed it is a procedure used with IVF/ICSI Treatment. As one of the latest innovations in IVF Treatment, it was created mainly to help women who experience infertility because of deficient or damaged mitochondria which is contained within an egg's cytoplasm. Mitochondria provides the necessary energy for cell growth as well as efficient cell division. Therefore a deficiency in mitochondria will prevent successful cell growth and cell division. Consequently, it may cause recurrent implantation failures, high levels of embryo fragmentation, poor embryo quality and development, and last but not least a failed IVF.

The main difference of IVF/ICSI involving a cytoplasmic transfer and a regular IVF/ICSI is that, the former uses not only the patient's own eggs but also donor eggs in order to obtain healthy mitochondria from young and healthy donor eggs. Healthy mitochondria will aid rejuvenate the patient's eggs and thus, maximize the chances of success.

As North Cyprus IVF, we have been offering Cytoplasmic Transfer to our patients since 2012. Even though we do not have sufficient numbers to publish significant statistics, it would be fair to mention that cytoplasmic transfer potentially adds a few percentages to the chances of success for women in their early 40s. Still, please note that; cytoplasmic transfer cannot correct any genetic defects related with the egg that may have caused by older age. We recommend this procedure to patients in their mid 40's. However, given the fact that possibilities of success with own eggs declines considerably after mid 40s, we also recommend Donor Egg IVF treatment especially after a certain age.

At North Cyprus IVF, we are proud to guarantee high quality treatment with maximum service quality standards at affordable low cost. For any further assistance or for a quote, please do not hesitate to send us a message by filling out our contact form.

Treatment Options

Going through a complete assessment of your personal fertility has a great importance on choosing the right treatment option since each treatment is suitable for a specific patient group regarding their fertility requirements.

Initial testing process is the first step infertility assessment. Detailed information where we describe some basics can be found in our "Infertility Testing and Interpretation of Test Results" section. Next, on the ; "Choosing the Right Treatment" section, you can come across some treatment suitable to some patient groups regarding factors such as; age, fertility assessment, previous obstetric history as well as history of fertility.

Together with the treatment, patient's lifestyle has also a great effect on the outcome of the treatment. Therefore, please do not forget to check our "Boost your Fertility".

Deciding on the clinic for your treatment might be challenging for you as you may have many choices around. However, be aware not to choose a clinic that is willing to proceed any treatment without a thorough evaluation of your personal needs. Please note that IVF is a personal, unique treatment and there isn't a single prescription applicable for everyone.

Some treatment options offered by the North Cyprus IVF Clinic is listed below. For more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. We will be more than happy to assist you.

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

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.

Boost your Fertility

Even though infertility may not be something that can be completely cured with what you eat or what you do, it may still be possible to boost your fertility and aid with your chances of success with natural conception or with infertility treatments. Since women are the ones to carry a pregnancy, they should be more careful about certain habits:

1- Weight Management: Watch your weight and make sure your BMI stays within a healthy range. Excess body fat is not only detrimental to your health, but can also trigger overproduction of certain hormones that can possibly disrupt ovulation. Similarly, being underweight result in underproduction of these hormones and your body may not produce enough of them for ovulation.

2- Eat Right: Make sure that you eat healthy and that you receive enough protein, iron, zinc, folic acid and Vitamin C. Deficiency in these nutrients have been associated with variations in menstrual cycles as well as miscarriages. Folic acid is especially important during pregnancy for the neural development of your baby. If your busy schedule does not allow you to measure precisely what nutrients are in your body, it will make sense to receive a daily tablet of "one a day" vitamins.

Another very important tip to know about boosting your fertility is eating more alkaline. The more acidic the body's environment, the more difficult it us for the sperm to complete its journey and reach the egg for fertilization. Sperm survival is dependent on the correct pH balance. Therefore, avoid foods and drinks that are too acidic and opt for a more alkaline diet.

3- Avoid drugs, cigarettes and excessive alcohol consumption. They are not only detrimental to your health, but toxins in cigarettes and drugs can damage your eggs, negatively affect the fertilization and implantation processes and can contribute to aging of your ovaries. Excessive alcohol consumption has been linked to altered levels of estrogen, which can cause implantation failures.

4- Avoid Stress: Clinical studies indicate that women under stress and psychological distress are less likely to conceive. There is no single prescription for stress management. You should do whatever works for you. Reading a book, yoga, meditation, short weekend getaways, writing your own book! are some examples.

5- Have sex! Regular intercourse have been shown to help with more predictable cycles and normal ovulation. Having intercourse at least once a week will help keep things in balance...

6- Make sure your partner stays healthy as well! The same things that can affect your fertility are likely to affect his fertility as well. Therefore, heavy smoking, excessive drinking anf eating unhealthy are never a good idea for anyone! It has been shown that receiving Vitamins C, E and Selenium are associated with production of healthier sperm.

Egg Freezing in North Cyprus

An egg freezing cycle is very much like an IVF cycle where your ovaries are stimulated through the use of medication in order to obtain multiple good quality eggs. In an IVF cycle, the process does not stop here and continues until successful transfer of embryos into the uterus, where an egg freezing cycle does not aim that. The aim in an egg freezing cycle is to obtain as many good quality eggs as we possibly can, and freeze those eggs at our facilities for use at a future point in time. Given that we will be aiming for an optimal count and quality of eggs during this procedure, we will need plan your treatment very carefully so that the outcome pleases us all.

The first step in planning your treatment is to determine what type of a medication regimen will be in order so that we can optimize our results. To do so, we will need you to undergo a number of hormone tests so that we can make an assessment of your ovarian reserves and egg quality and proceed accordingly. The tests are administered on day 2 or day 3 of your menstrual period and are as follows:

- A base line pelvic scan (This is a simple ultrasound scan)

Blood tests:
- FSH
- LH
- Estradiol
- Prolactine
- TSH
- AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) test.

Based on these results, we will be able to identify the right medication protocol and prepare you for the procedure.

Fertility Scans

Fertility Scans

Many couples who are having Fertility Treatment abroad, or at a location some distance from their own home within the UK, want the facility to access an ultrasound scan on a particular day of the menstrual cycle.

Cherish-UK is able to perform the specialist scan and email the result to the chosen clinic. This allows more flexibility for couples and reduces the amount of time spent away from home during the treatment cycle.

Usually clinics request a scan to assess antral follicle count and or a scan to assess endometrial thickness andfollicular development.

During your scan we will explain the findings to you and following your scan we will give you your images and email the report to you. We will email your report to your chosen clinic and if requested we will scan your images and also send them to the clinic.

Why is endometrial thickness important?

During a natural and stimulated cycle, it is important to assess the thickness of the endometrium (womb lining). Endometrial thickness needs to be 7mm or above for a pregnancy to be able to implant.

What is Anti-Mullerian Hormone?

This is a hormone blood test, which provides information regarding ‘ovarian reserve’. This is a term, which is used to reflect the size of the pool of eggs left within the ovary and gives an indication of the likelihood of success during a stimulated cycle. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test can be done on any day of the woman’s cycle. Cherish-UK can organise this blood test if required.

How do I book fertility ultrasound scans?

Cherish-UK is a private pregnancy and fertility scanning clinic, you can self refer and arrange an appointment at your convenience. To book fertility ultrasound scans please telephone us on: 07580 611 879, fill out our online enquiry formor email us at info@cherish-uk.com.

Do I need to prepare for my fertility ultrasound scan?

For a fertility ultrasound scan we recommend that you arrive with a full bladder and drink a litre of fluid prior to your appointment. This will improve the quality and aid visibility of the ultrasound scan.

What's included in your fertility ultrasound scan?

Our fertility ultrasound scan fees cover all aspects of your appointment which will include the following:

• Full Consultation
• Transabdominal Ultrasound Scan and/or Transvaginal Ultrasound Scan
• Black and White Ultrasound Scan Image(s)
• Ultrasound Scan Report
• Folder which is suitable for storing information
• Display card for ultrasound images

Cryopreservation

Oocyte Freezing

Recent advances in the In Vitro Fertilization process have now allowed us to successfully freeze, store and later thaw and fertilize cryopreserved human eggs. Oocyte cryopreservation is aimed at three particular groups of women: those diagnosed with cancer who have not yet begun chemoterapy or radioteraphy; those undergoing treatment with assisted reproductive technologies who do not consider embryo freezing an option; and those who would like to preserve their future ability to have children, either because they do not yet have a partner, are not ready to have a baby yet but would like to keep this option for future, or for other personal or medical reasons.

The egg-retrieval process for oocyte cryopreservation is the same as that for in vitro fertilization. This includes several weeks of hormone injections and hormonal contraception in order to stop ovulation, followed by more hormone injections to stimulate ovaries and ripen multiple eggs. When the eggs have matured, additional hormone is given and the eggs are removed with an ultrasound-guided needle through the vagina. The procedure is conducted under sedation. The eggs are immediately frozen.

Frozen eggs can be stored for as long as the patient wishes, but this must be stated precisely, otherwise, frozen eggs that are not used within a two-year period are discharged.

Embryo Freezing

Embryo Cryopreservation (embryo freezing) is the freezing of "excess" embryos for use in future IVF cycles. This option is often explored by couples undergoing IVF treatment where the excess embryos that will not be transferred into the uterus are frozen for future use if the IVF attempt fails. Even when the IVF attempt does not fail and the couple is able to conceive, the frozen embryos can be used for the second pregnancy. The major advantage to using cryopreserved embryos in future IVF cycles is that the female does not have to undergo ovulation induction, which also dramatically reduces medication cost. Success rates are variable depending on patient characteristics and embryo quality.
 

This could also be an option for couples who do not wish to get pregnant immediately but would like to prepare their embryos in advance for future use. This way, they can avoid lower success rates of conception at older age.

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.

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.

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.
