IVF in Cyprus, explained clearly — so you can decide calmly
Treatment abroad raises many questions. This guide explains the options, the steps and what to ask, and connects you with an experienced IVF team in Nicosia when you are ready.
How IVF in Cyprus works, step by step
Every plan is personal, but most journeys follow these steps.
Your enquiry
Tell us briefly about your situation and any previous treatment. It takes two minutes and is free.
Consultation
A fertility specialist reviews your history and test results — online, by phone or in person.
Personal plan
You receive a written plan: recommended treatment, schedule and what is included in the cost.
Preparation
Depending on your plan, tests and part of the preparation can often be done in your home country.
Treatment in Nicosia
Egg collection and embryo transfer take place at the clinic; coordinators help with transfers and accommodation.
Follow-up
After the transfer you are guided until the pregnancy test and beyond.
Treatment options
An overview of the main treatments. Your doctor recommends what fits your situation.
IVF (in vitro fertilisation)
After hormone stimulation, eggs are collected and fertilised in the laboratory. One embryo is transferred to the uterus a few days later; suitable embryos can be frozen.
ICSI
A single sperm cell is injected directly into each mature egg. It is the standard approach when sperm quality is low.
Egg donation
Eggs from a screened donor are fertilised with the partner's sperm, and the embryo is transferred to the intended mother.
PGT-A (genetic screening of embryos)
Embryos are checked for an abnormal number of chromosomes before transfer, commonly with next-generation sequencing (NGS).
Egg freezing
Eggs are collected and frozen by vitrification to be used later.
Micro-TESE
Under a surgical microscope, sperm is searched for directly in testicular tissue.
What to ask before choosing a clinic
- Results by age group and treatment type — not a single headline number
- A written cost plan: medication, tests, freezing and accommodation included or not
- Who works in the laboratory and how embryos are assessed
- How donors are screened and matched (for donation programmes)
- Who your contact person is, in your language, before and after treatment
