Patient Testimonial

Amy was my initial co ordinator and she is excellent. She responded back to my queries very promptly and was always available if i needed to speak to her. On my arrival to Cyprus, the taxi driver was waiting and the check in at the Golden Tulip was very fast and stress free. I was also given a welcome pack from the clinic upon my arrival which had details of my appointment with the doctor the following day. ALL the staff at the clinic are excellent, very friendly and always willing to help. Melesse, Fatosh and Angie were excellent and very supportive through a very stressful and anxious time. Thank you. Idil and Dr Savas were also very excellent. They both explained everything very well and answered any questions which we had. Dr Savas made me feel re assured that everything would be ok as it is a very anxious time during treatment and there are always loads of questions which go around your mind. The centre itself is clean and welcoming and is located around the corner from Golden Tulip Hotel so is walking distance which was also a bonus. My experience with North Cyprus IVF was excellent..... waiting for the results.

How long will I need to be in Cyprus for?






We try to minimize then length of stay for our traveling patients as we realize how difficult it can be to take time off work, family or other commitments. This is precisely why we have established links with reputable clinics abroad for preliminary testing and monitoring so that you are not required to come to Cyprus for the entire treatment. Given that you are able to carry out the preliminary work locally, you will only need to visit us for a total of eight (8) days. This will be the amount of time required for your final scan, trigger injection, egg retrieval, ICSI for fertilization, embryo biopsy and genetic screening and the final embryo transfer.

Surrogacy

Our US-based surrogacy program works in a dual phase. The legal work, surrogate recruitment, child delivery and court proceedings all take place in the US while the actual IVF treatment takes place in Cyprus. Cyprus does not have definte laws for surrogacy, therefore, all the legal work involved needs to be done in the US bascked by the US legal system in order to avoid future problems. The fact that your IVF treatment takes place in Cyprus is something that drives the cost down and in fact offers a higher chance of success.

The first step in surrogacy IVF treatment, once the necessary framework has been established, is to design a contract which specifies the rules and the steps involved in thesurrogacy arrangement. Our lawyer in the US is specialized in surrogacy cases and has a very good reputation for it. We will make the necessary legal arrangements, prepare the court proceedings for you to be the legal parents of the child. For a contract to be ready, we will be needing to match you with a surrogate and have everything discussed thoroughly so both parties can agree on common grounds.

Once we have the legal arrangements sorted out, the next step would be to get all your physical features, blood types and any other physical features you would like to specify for the donor matching process if you will be needing an egg donor. Once we find a suitable donor in our database, who fits your physical profile, matches with respect to blood types, and has her menstrual periods around the same dates as the surrogate, we will proceed with the medication stage. In this stage, your donor will receive certain hormone supplements in order to stimulate the egg count and quality. At the same time, the surrogate will receive certain medication in order to have her endometrium ready for a successful pregnancy. If your own egg reserves and egg quality allow us to use your own eggs, then you will not be needing a donor.

Once the donor (or you) and the surrogate are simultaneously prepared, we will have the surrogate fly out to Cyprus for the IVF treatment. At this point, we will perform oocyte retrieval from you or your donor, fertilize with your husband's sperm and create the embryos. The highest quality embryos, in turn will be transferred into the surrogate's uterus on day 3 of fertilization. The surrogate will go back to the US and the treatment will be over. Once the baby is born after nine months, you will make another trip to the US to hold your child for the first time. We are able to transfer up to 3 embryos in a given transfer cycle.


Our main aim is to provide a low cost treatment without sacrificing the quality and reliability. Therefore, we make sure the surrogate is bound by a very well-prepared contract by someone who has significant amount of experience in this field. The actual treatment, is carried out by us. Our success rates are well above world averages, especially in egg donation cases. The reason is, Cyprus is a small country and we tend to contact the donors who have donated before, who have good quality eggs and resulted in a successful pregnancy, thus maximizing the chances of pregnancy, which explains our 81% success rate in 2011, in egg donor IVF cases.

IVF and ICSI at North Cyprus IVF




In Vitro Fertilization is commonly referred to as IVF. IVF is the process of fertilization by manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. When the IVF procedure is successful, the process is combined with a procedure known as embryo transfer, which is used to physically place the embryo in the uterus.

At North Cyprus IVF Center, In Vitro Fertilization requires a five step program which includes:

1- Monitoring and stimulating the development of healthy eggs in the ovaries: This is done through a process called ovulation induction where fertility medications are prescribed to control the timing of the egg ripening and to increase the chances of multiple egg growth. Since majority of our patients come from abroad, we prepare a well-charted protocol of treatment so that the medication can be taken without travelling to Cyprus. This way, the initial preparation process takes place in patient’s country of origin, shortening the time they are required to spend in Cyprus. We provide prescription for IVF medication for those who are unable to purchase them without a script. With advancements in technology, prescriptions we give can be used at websites like ivfmeds and patients can conveniently purchase their meds online. These medicines are easy to administer and we give you a very detailed chart on how to use them. This way, you are only expected to spend 7-8 days in Cyprus.

2- Retrieving the eggs: Once the eggs are developed through the first step, they are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure which uses ultrasound imaging to guide a hollow needle through the pelvic cavity. Sedation and local anesthesia are provided to remove any discomfort that you might experience. The eggs are removed from the ovaries using the hollow needle, which is called follicular aspiration.

3- Obtaining the sperm sample: This is usually done through ejaculation. Once the sperm is obtained, it is prepared for fertilization.

4- Fertilizing the eggs with the sperm: In a process called insemination, the sperm and eggs are placed in incubators located in the laboratory which enables fertilization to occur. In some cases where fertilization is suspected to be low, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be used. The fertilized eggs are monitored for about three days until they become embryos grown enough to be transferred.

5- Embryo Transfer: The transfer process involves a speculum which is inserted into the vagina to expose the cervix. A predetermined number of embryos are suspended in fluid and gently placed through a catheter into the womb. This process is often guided by ultrasound. About 10-12 days after the transfer, a blood test and potentially an ultrasound will be used to determine if pregnancy has occurred.

At North Cyprus IVF, we provide low cost and affordable IVF treatment at a cost which is substantially below the cost of treatment in the U.S. and in Europe. Our reduced costs are a direct result of the volume of patients we serve and the high-tech equipment we use which substantially reduce human mistakes and allow us to be cost efficient. We are proud of our high success rates for all IVF, egg and sperm donation IVF and gender selection IVF treatments. For a quote, please send us a message using the contact form.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) may be recommended when there is a reason to suspect that achieving fertilization may be difficult, even when the IVF procedures are used. ICSI is most often used with couples who are dealing with male infertility factors. Male infertility factors can include any of the following problems: low sperm counts, poor motility or movement of the sperm, poor sperm quality, or sperm that lack the ability to penetrate an egg.

At North Cyprus IVF, there are basically five simple steps to ICSI which include the following:

1. The mature egg is held with a specialized pipette.

2. A very delicate, sharp, and hollow needle is used to immobilize and pick up a single sperm.

3. This needle is then carefully inserted through the shell of the egg and into the cytoplasm of the egg.

4. The sperm is injected into the cytoplasm, and the needle is carefully removed.

5. The eggs are checked the following day for evidence of normal fertilization.

Once the steps of ICSI are complete and fertilization is successful, the embryo transfer procedure is used to physically place the embryo in the woman's uterus. Then it is a matter of watching for early pregnancy symptoms. The fertility specialist may use a blood test or ultrasound to determine if implantation and pregnancy has occurred.

Overall, ICSI is a procedure we follow in cases where we suspect the sperm count or motility or the sperm quality will not be sufficient to fertilize the eggs on its own, therefore, we assist the sperm in fertilizing the eggs. At Cyprus Fertility Clinic, we use ICSI as a standard procedure, hence, it does not cost anything extra on top of the low cost IVF program.

Steps in IVF Treatment - North Cyprus IVF Clinic

Step 1: Making the call.
This is perhaps the most difficult stage of your treatment. Making the right decision necessitates having the right information. This website aims to provide you with the right information so that you can make an informed decision about handling your fertility treatment.

Step 2: Initial Consultation and Screening Tests.
Once you make the decision to proceed, we guide you through the initial screening process, which involves a series of testing and diagnosis in order to choose the right treatment option.

Step 3: Medication Stage
Before you make a trip down to our clinic in Cyprus, we give you a detailed chart of treatment protocol in which we specify what needs to be done on a daily basis and which medication to take. This ensures that you are biologically ready for your embryo transfer stage.

Step 4: Coming to Cyprus
At this point, you have gone through your medication stage and prepared for the rest of your treatment. In regular IVF and sperm donation IVF cases, this is when your eggs are fully developed and ready for retrieval. In egg donation IVF cases, this is when donor's eggs are ready for retrieval.

Step 5: Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs are fully developed, they are ready for retrieval. You (or the donor) will be sedated for this process. A scan probe is passed through the vagina and into the ovary under ultrasound guidance; the fluid from each follicle, which contains the egg, is extracted. It is usual to obtain an egg from about 80% of follicles.

Step 6: Fertilization
The retrieved eggs are fertilized with the sperm to be obtained from the male patient (or the sperm donor). After about 48 - 72 hours from egg collection, the embryos will usually consist of four to eight cells each, and are now ready for placement into the woman’s uterus.

Step 7: Embryo Transfer
Using a vaginal speculum, the cervix is exposed, which is then cleaned. The culture medium containing the embryos is loaded in a catheter with a syringe on one end. The doctor carefully guides the catheter through the vagina and cervix, and deposits the embryos into the uterus. Implantation begins three - four days later.

Step 8: Pregnancy
After about 12 days of the embryo transfer, we request that you get a blood test done for beta hCG, which is the pregnancy hormone which elevates during pregnancy. A beta hCG under 5 mIU/ml indicates that you are not pregnant. A level between 5 - 25 mIU/ml indicates possible pregnancy, which we advise to test again in a couple of days. A level higher than 25 mIU/ml indicates pregnancy.

Step 9: Follow Up
Once you get the good news, you simply dial the phone and let us know. Share the joy :)

Gestational Surrogacy in Cyprus

Many biological and medical reasons prevent some women from carrying a child to term. There could be a number of reasons for this, including failure of the embryo to implant, repeated miscarriages, hysterectomy or a pelvic disorder. Some women experience problems such as dangerously high blood pressure, a heart condition or liver disease, so that pregnancy would entail a serious health risk for them. In some cases, the woman might have born without a uterus or may have had it surgically removed for health reasons. However, women with the aforementioned health problems are not the only people who suffer from childlessness. Same sex couples, especially gay men, are also not able to have their own child without a surrogate mother.

A surrogacy arrangement is one in which one woman (the surrogate mother) agrees to bear a child for a couple (the intended parents) and surrender it at birth. This provides an opportunity for those who are unable to carry a child themselves to overcome their childlessness. There are quite a number of things to be considered before going down this road, however. Even though couples longing for children tend to be more emotional, these emotions should not be reflected upon their decisions. Surrogacy is a delicate matter which needs to be handled very carefully. At North Cyprus Fertility Clinic, we make sure our patients understand the legal, financial and the emotional aspects of consulting surrogacy as an option.

Surrogacy is not legal in many countries, including Northern Cyprus. However, due to a large volume of our patients from neighboring countries, we have decided to establish links with a renowned and a prestigious fertility clinic in Washington DC, United States, which specializes in IVF practices as well as surrogacy arrangements for gay and straight couples. We collaborate with attorney Hilary Neeimann of the United States for provision of surrogacy services to our patients. What we do for our patients is, we run the preliminary work here at our clinic. Patients are able to complete their initial medication stage here in Cyprus at our clinic, where we provide them with free of charge hotel accommodation, airport travels and domestic transfers. Hence, they can avoid large costs of travelling to the United States frequently.
A potential surrogate mother must be in good overall health and be able to undergo a pregnancy with the minimum amount of risk to her own health. Some medical conditions will prevent a woman becoming a surrogate mother, for example, if there are any known medical problems which could lead to complications with the pregnancy, or put the woman at risk. Also those who are considerably overweight, are heavy smokers, drinkers or substance abusers are not suitable as surrogate mothers because of the associated risks both to the woman and the baby. A the risks of illness and problems are much higher in the first pregnancy it is strongly recommended that surrogate mothers should have borne at least one child previously and preferably have completed her own family. This also means that the woman is able to give her “informed” consent to the arrangement, since a woman who has experienced pregnancy prior to the surrogacy arrangement has that knowledge on which to base her decision.

North Cyprus IVF can organize and coordinate surrogacy IVF treatment 100% backed by the US legal system for straight and same-sex couples.

Please email us at info@northcyprusivf.net for further information.

Patient Testimonial - Egg Donation

Just to let you know that we never went for a HCG blood test, instead we decided to wait a little longer (we know if we tested too early it would be a false reading) and do a home pregnancy test instead and it was fabulous news-I am pregnant.

After the previous IVF that failed, we can't quite believe that the test result is positive!!

Thank you for all of your help and heartfelt thanks to the clinic.

We will let you know of our progress!

Egg Donation - Patient Testimonial

Hi,

Sorry I haven't been in touch with updates for a few weeks but we've had a quite stressful time and I've not been online much, but just to update you, I was officially diagnosed with a miscarriage last week at around 10 weeks.  We had never seen a heartbeat, the fetal pole was visible very late on and the measurements were weeks behind what they should have been, so we had a feeling all along that it would not be a good outcome.  It is still a shock and very upsetting when you're officially told, but we are coming to terms with that now and understand that 'this is nature's way'.  

Would you please let the clinic know as I did have some correspondence from Dr Savas and he was quite hopeful that things would work out.

We'd also like to thank you and everyone at the clinic for all the help and support we received.  We were very happy with the treatment at NCIVF - unfortunately we were just unlucky.

We have to respect what we have lost - and be thankfull for what we have.

If we decide to have one last attempt at IVF early next year we will certainly contact you.

Many thanks to all of you

Best regards

A, R & A R.

The Truth About our Egg Donors



Over the last few months it has come to our attention that there has been some controversy over our egg donor lists and available donors.

First and foremost, it is important to note that if there are women who are planning to cycle around the same time and their physical characteristics are similar, they will be offered the same list of donors. Depending on the recipient that chooses first, the donor is then assigned to that individual and the women who have been offered the same donors are notified.

It is very difficult for our team to provide donors 2-3 months in advance for the fact that at any given point in time, a donor can decide to stop with the treatment and  egg donation. If this happens then the recipient is left hanging and the cycle needs to be abandoned.

Our preferred way to deal with our egg donation patients and their donors is to coordinate and synchronize them shortly before the recipient menstrual cycle starts.
We also ask that you send a photo of yourself along with the application form so we can do our best to find the best match for you.
We are aware that this may seem  last minute however it is the best and most accurate way to get the closest donor match.

There are times when frozen eggs are used however the patient is fully aware and accepting of this. We do not do shared cycles unless it is discussed and agreed in advance.

As there are many accredited Universities in Northern Cyprus, there are many young women who are enrolling to donate, donating and cycling on a regular basis.

One of the most important factors when choosing a clinic for your Egg Donation Treatment is TRUST, especially with anonymous donation.

North Cyprus IVF Center is ISO 9001 Certified which means we are constantly reviewed and evaluated to make sure that International Standards are met.

Dr. Savas Ozyigit and our team pride ourselves on working ethically towards a common goal which is to help you conceive.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comment or concerns.

We also have past patients who would be happy to act as a reference and share their experiences with you.

Short & Sweet Patient Testimonial

We're pleased to say that everything went well for our transfer on Sunday and now we're prepared for the 'big 2 week wait'!!

The Doctors were very nice and we were really pleased with their treatment and with all the staff and the clinic itself. I would recommend them regardless of the outcome, but we have fingers crossed that this is the last time we have to try.
