IVF with ICSI at North Cyprus IVF Clinic

The process of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)  treatment can be simply described as the combination off eggs with sperm in the laboratory environment. As a basic part of this procedure ICSI Is performed so that the best quality sperm is selected and injected into the nucleus of the egg for fertilization. As a result, we catch the opportunity to get potentially the highest quality embryos.

At North Cyprus IVF, IVF treatment is performed through below mentioned five steps;

1st Step: Visiting your gynecologist for pre-testing and a sonogram.

2nd Step: Based on those results, a preliminary work and stimulation of the ovary.

3rd Step: Arriving Cyprus where a final sonogram is executed so that the patient is prepared for the trigger injection.

4th Step: Egg retrieval and in vitro fertilization.

5th Step: Transfer of the embryo transfer.

Our experts as well as IVF specialists at North Cyprus IVF are always more than happy to enlighten you with your IVF treatment options.

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.

Suggested Reading - The Fertility Diet

The Fertility Diet

by Jorge E. Chavarro, M.D., Walter Willett, M.D., and Patrick J. Skerrett

For many couples struggling with infertility, the best hope for having a baby often comes from expensive high-tech medical procedures coupled with sometimes unpleasant drugs. Now there's a safer, natural, and virtually free way to improve fertility that's available to all couples: ten simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In The Fertility Diet,

Harvard researchers Jorge E. Chavarro, MD, and Walter C. Willett, MD, along with writer Patrick J. Skerrett, offer a plan that:

• improves ovulation and fertility
• offers a healthy start to a pregnancy
• is good for the heart, bones, and the rest of the body throughout pregnancy and beyond

There are several fertility how-to books on the market and heaps of often conflicting advice on the Internet. These are scattershot approaches based on little more than wishful thinking. The Fertility Diet stands apart. It is based on solid scientific data — an eight-year study of more than 18,000 women that is part of the landmark Nurses' Health Study.

Key recommendations from The Fertility Diet include:

• Avoiding trans-fats, the artery-clogging fats found in many commercial products and fast foods
• Eating more vegetable protein, like beans and nuts, and less animal protein
• Drinking a glass of whole milk or having a small dish of ice cream or full-fat yogurt every day; temporarily trading in skim milk and low or no-fat dairy products for their full-fat versions
• Getting into the "fertility zones" for weight and physical activity

This advice isn't just for couples seeking an alternative to IVF, GIFT, ICSI, and the rest of the alphabet soup of assisted reproduction technologies. It can be used by any woman who is trying to get pregnant. There's even some advice on diet and lifestyle for men trying to become fathers. The Fertility Diet can work on its own or help turbocharge assisted reproduction technologies.

Dr. Jorge E. Chavarro, a native of Bogotá, Colombia, has taken a lead role in the fertility component of the ongoing Nurses' Health Study. Dr. Walter C. Willett, who chairs the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, is one of the most influential nutrition researchers in the world. His book, Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: A Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating, summarizes and simplifies what's known today about healthy diets. With veteran medical writer Patrick J. Skerrett, Drs. Chavarro and Willett have translated mountains of data into clear, straightforward recommendations about diet and exercise that will help women get pregnant, serve them well as they carry a new life, and help keep them healthy into middle age and beyond.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Patient Testimonial

I went to North Cyprus IVF in August after a failed first attempt at Dogus in May. Overall, I have been happy with the care I received at North Cyprus IVF.  Right from the start, Deedee had been very professional and compassionate, and she answered all my queries promptly and knowledgeably. As a medical doctor myself, I would say that I am pleased with the expertise of Dr Savas Ozyigit and Dr Idil Aslan. I felt that I had a higher level of care here and both doctors treated me with respect. Medically, I believe I had better treatment here - the embryology lab was in-house, Dr Savas whilst checking me for the first time tested out which catheter would best suit me, and we also discussed blood test (for my progesterone level). It has been shown that the expertise and experience of the person doing the embryo transfer plays a role in IVF success, and having done my research, I have a lot of faith in Dr Savas.

I did not get the result I wanted, and am planning to go back in December to North Cyrpus IVF (I will use MicroSort next time). And Golden Tulip Hotel that I was housed in made it a nice holiday for my partner and I.

Repeated Miscarriages

Our clinic North Cyprus Fertility Clinic, located in Cyprus is very famous with its work on miscarriage investigation and genetic testing. 

The first step is to identify the precise cause of miscarriages. For this end, the following tests will be useful:

MTHFR C677T

MTHFR A1298C

Factor V Leiden

Factor II

PAI 1

The clinic iteslf can administer these tests during your treatment and provide with the necessary supplements once the embryo transfer takes place. In cases where there is a mutation in one of these genes, the most appropriate major is to use zinc, folic acid, B6 and B12 vitamins prior to treatment and then have blood thinners post-treatment in order to make sure blood clotting can be avoided.
