Embryo donation in Cyprus is a fertility treatment in which an embryo created using carefully selected donor eggs and donor sperm is transferred directly to the recipient’s uterus. As the embryo has already been created, the recipient does not need ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval, making the treatment process simpler than other assisted reproductive options. At Cyprus Hope Fertility, every embryo donation treatment is led by Op. Dr. Zehra Onar and our experienced fertility team, providing personalised care from the initial consultation through to embryo transfer and aftercare.
Many women and couples come to us after already going through a long journey trying to conceive. Several unsuccessful IVF attempts, a low egg reserve, limited sperm quality, or other medical challenges can make the wish for a child feel increasingly out of reach.
However, this doesn’t mean that path has to end. Embryo donation can offer many patients a new way to achieve pregnancy and turn the dream of a family into reality.
Every situation is individual. That’s why we work together with our patients to determine which treatment options make sense and which path offers the best chances of success. Often, even after several setbacks, further options are still available.
Embryo donation can be a meaningful treatment option for a variety of patient groups, including:
Every treatment plan is created individually and tailored to the patient’s personal situation
In embryo donation, an already-created embryo is used for treatment. In this case, the recipient does not need an egg retrieval, since the embryo is already available.
After the uterine lining has been prepared, the embryo is transferred at the appropriate time. As a result, the actual process is often significantly simpler for the patient than many other fertility treatments.
For many couples and women, embryo donation can be an important alternative when other treatment paths have not led to the desired success.
The quality of the embryos plays a decisive role in treatment success.
Cyprus Hope Fertility works with a large network of carefully selected egg donors, giving us access to an extensive donor pool with a range of phenotypic characteristics.
For sperm selection, we work with internationally recognised sperm banks such as the European Sperm Bank and Cryos. Both are among the most well-known sperm banks in Europe and maintain extensive donor programmes along with high quality standards.
Through the combination of high-quality egg and sperm donations, embryos with very good developmental potential can be created, which can have a positive impact on treatment outcomes.
Treatment begins with a detailed consultation and a review of your medical records.
An individual treatment plan is then created. In most cases, this starts with preparing the uterine lining through hormonal support, with the aim of creating optimal conditions for the later embryo transfer.
Many of the preparation steps can already be carried out in your home country. During this time, our team stays in close contact with you and supports you throughout the entire process.
Once the uterine lining has reached the desired development, the embryo transfer is scheduled. The transfer itself only takes a few minutes and is usually carried out without anaesthesia.
A pregnancy test can be carried out approximately 10 to 12 days after the transfer.
Embryo donation is today one of the treatment options with the highest chances of success in modern reproductive medicine.
Because the embryos are created from carefully selected egg and sperm donations, very good pregnancy rates can often be achieved.
The actual chances of success naturally depend on several factors, including the recipient’s health and the preparation of the uterine lining. Overall, many patients choose embryo donation in Cyprus specifically because of these high success rates.
The cost of embryo donation in Cyprus is one of the most common questions our patients ask.
Since every treatment is planned individually, the actual cost can vary depending on the medical situation and the scope of treatment required.
Before treatment begins, you will receive a transparent treatment plan with a detailed cost overview, so that you have all the important information in advance.
Our team is happy to answer any questions about the individual treatment steps and the associated costs.
Many international patients initially assume they will need to spend several weeks in Cyprus. In most cases, however, this is not necessary.
A large part of the preparation can already take place in your home country. The necessary medication and ultrasound monitoring can often be carried out in coordination with your local doctor.
Depending on the individual treatment plan, many patients travel to Cyprus only for the embryo transfer itself and stay for just a few days. In other cases, a stay of around 7 to 8 days may be appropriate.
Our team creates an individual schedule for every patient and provides early guidance on all the necessary steps.
For many patients, embryo donation offers the opportunity to continue pursuing their wish for a child, even when other treatments have not led to the desired success.
Since an embryo is already available for treatment, the process can often be simpler and shorter than with other fertility treatments. An egg retrieval or the search for a suitable sperm donor is generally no longer necessary, as these steps have already taken place.
Many international patients also value the ability to plan their treatment individually and carry out much of the preparation in their home country. This often reduces the necessary length of stay in Cyprus to just a few days.
Many patients first look into the possibilities of In Vitro Fertilization in Cyprus before deciding on embryo donation.
Patients with reduced ovarian reserve are also often interested in the possibilities of Egg Donation in Cyprus.
