The process of egg donation and self-transfer (also known as reciprocal IVF) involves the egg donor providing eggs and either the partner or husband’s sperm.
This process is used when one partner is unable to conceive but still wishes to carry a pregnancy.
This process will all take place in North Cyprus and will initially begin with a consultation to determine which program will be best for you.
You will have a designated Coordinator from our clinic who will be in touch with you to control the process for your arrival.
Before starting your coordinator will ask for test requirements (all must have been taken within 6 months).

Finding The Perfect Donor For You
Selecting Your Ideal Egg Donor
Our extensive database features Cypriot/Turkish egg donors, but we can also accommodate various ethnicities by providing traveling egg donors. We'll carefully match you with a donor who closely aligns with your desired characteristics while ensuring complete anonymity.
Preparing For Embryo Transfer
Once you've chosen an egg donor, we'll initiate the stimulation process to prepare your body for embryo transfer.
Optional Genetic Carrier Screening
Every individual carries at least one gene for a genetic disorder. While this doesn't mean they will develop the condition, it's important to consider the potential risk when planning a family.
If the father carries the same genetic mutation, there's a higher chance (approximately 25%) of their child inheriting the genetic condition.
This is why, if required or preferential, we can provide extensive gene testing for your donor (additional costs apply).
