1. Egg Donation (Egg Transfer) Duration

For egg donation (transfer) treatment, the duration that the patients will stay in TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) is 5 nights and 6 days. When patients decide on the treatment, depending on their menstruation date, they start with the medication suggested by their doctor in their hometown/homeland. The medication used is in the form of pills or strips.
After synchronizing the preparation period of the mother-to-be and the appropriate donor, and, upon deciding on the day of procedure, the couple’s treatment process of 5 nights and 6 days in TRNC is organized.

Day 1: On the first day, usually, the couple is welcomed at the airport and transferred to their hotel so that they can have some rest, and, no other procedure is done.
Day 2: Depending on the time of the procedure, our patients are picked up from their accommodation and brought to the hospital. At the hospital, the mother-to-be has an ultrasound examination and her medication is adjusted accordingly. Egg donation procedure begins by collecting sperm samples from her partner.
Day 3 – 4: While our patients relax in the hotel, they wait for the development/growth of the embryos.
Day 5: Depending on the time of the procedure, our patients are picked up from their hotel and brought to the hospital. After the patient is informed about the development of the embryos, and after the patient has a full bladder, the procedure for transfer is started. By selecting 2-3 healthy embryos in good quality and by transferring those, using ultrasound aid, to the future mother the procedure is completed. The patient rests for about 2 hours after the operation in her private room at the hospital, and then, she is transferred to the hotel.
Day 6: The couple is transferred to the airport by our staff. We can organize all flight tickets, transfer and accommodation services on demand so that our patients can focus only on their treatment.

2. Sperm Donation Duration

The patient will spend 5 nights and 6 days in TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus). The patient has the ovulation induction (increasing the number of eggs) done according to the dose prescribed by the doctor, in the place of residence. Egg retrieval is done in TRNC. On the same day of egg collection, the eggs and sperm from the bank are fertilized and the procedure is completed upon scheduling embryo transfer for three days later.
Upon completing the pre-treatment procedure, the couple’s 5 nights and 6 days trip to TRNC is planned.

Day 1: On the first day, usually, the couple is welcomed at the airport and transferred to their hotel so that they can have some rest, and, no other procedure is done. The mother-to-be, however, is informed not to eat or drink anything during the last 6 hours before the procedure since the egg retrieval will be done under anaesthetics.
Day 2: Depending on the time of the procedure (OPU), our patients are picked up from their accommodation and brought to the hospital. The patient goes through OPU (Ovum/oocyte Pick up) procedure under anaesthetics. Upon the choice of the couple, the bank sperm is decided upon. After this, sperm donation is started as part of the microinjection fertilization process.
Day 3 – 4: While our patients relax in the hotel, they wait for the development/growth of the embryos.
Day 5: Depending on the time of the procedure, our patients are picked up from their hotel and brought to the hospital. After the patient is informed about the development of the embryos, and after the patient has a full bladder, the procedure for transfer is started. By selecting 2-3 healthy embryos in good quality and by transferring those, using ultrasound aid, to the future mother the procedure is completed. The patient rests for about 2 hours after the operation in her private room at the hospital, and then, she is transferred to the hotel.

4. Sex Selection Treatment (IVF + PGT) Duration

For sex selection treatment, a patient needs to spend about a week in TRNC. The patient has the ovulation induction (increasing the number of eggs) done according to the dose prescribed by the doctor, in the place of residence. Egg retrieval is done in TRNC. On the same day of egg collection, the eggs and sperm of the partner are fertilized. 3 days after egg retrieval, embryonic sex and chromosome scans are made via biopsy. Depending on the desired sex, healthy embryos are selected and transferred. Upon completing the pre-treatment procedure, the couple’s one week trip to TRNC is planned and the treatment starts. First of all, oocytes are retrieved form the mother-to-be to a laboratory environment under anaesthetics. Then, the male is partner is asked to provide the sperm. Mature eggs and sperm cells are then fertilized via microinjection following some necessary procedures. After 3 days of embryo development, via PGT, biopsy is done on the embryos and they are analysed for genetic diseases and determining the sex. According to the results obtained, healthy embryos matching the couple’s desired sex are then transferred to the future-mother on the fifth day of embryo development. During the treatment, the hospital is visited only twice for about two hours each. For the rest of the time, the couple will have the opportunity to relax and enjoy the stay on the island. We can organize all flight tickets, transfer and accommodation services, on demand, so that our patients can focus only on their treatment.
