What Is Egg Donation?
Every step in the journey to building a family matters. Egg Donation Cyprus is a proven, hope-filled treatment in which eggs retrieved from a healthy, young donor are fertilized in the laboratory with your partner's sperm, and the resulting embryo is transferred into your own uterus. To date, hundreds of thousands of families worldwide have welcomed the baby they dreamed of through this method — and you could be the next chapter in this story.
A brief history of egg donation
Who Can Apply for Egg Donation?
Whatever story brought you to this journey, our door is open to you. For some, donation is the strongest path to pregnancy; for others, it is a conscious and free choice — either way, we stand beside you with the same care and the same warmth.

- Absence of ovaries or prior removal (oophorectomy)
- Gonadal dysgenesis
- Absence of eggs
- Secondary menopause after chemotherapy/radiotherapy
- Premature ovarian failure (early menopause)
- Menopause
- Unidentified hereditary genetic disease/carrier status
Situations where egg donation may be a strong option
- Advanced maternal age and/or low ovarian reserve
- Embryo/fertilization problems due to low egg quality
- History of recurrent chromosomally abnormal embryos
- Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism
- Genetic/acquired ovarian disorders such as Turner syndrome
- Carrier status for hereditary genetic disease
Success Rates in Egg Donation
Fresh and frozen-thawed donor eggs yield similar, high pregnancy rates. Results can vary from person to person; these figures are not a guarantee but averages based on our center's clinical data — and our team stands beside you with all of its expertise to give you the strongest possible chance.
How Does the Process Work?
You are not alone at any step: your medical team and coordinator plan the process together with you, step by step.
Specialist physician consultation
Your medical history is taken, and a physical examination and necessary tests are planned together.
Coordinator consultation
Your travel and accommodation are organized, your profile forms are prepared, and donor selection criteria are determined together.
Psychological counseling
You can comfortably discuss anything on your mind about the donation process and what comes after with a specialist.
Screening tests
Relevant tests are planned for the woman, and blood type, serology, and semen analysis for the man.
Ultrasound / hysteroscopy if needed
Your uterine structure is evaluated to achieve the best possible result for the transfer.
Uterine preparation
Medications that prepare your endometrium for transfer are started.
Egg retrieval & fertilization
Mature eggs retrieved from the donor (or thawed) are fertilized with your partner's sperm on the same day; the good news is checked the next day.
Embryo monitoring and genetic screening if needed
Embryo development is shared with you daily; if PGT is planned, biopsy is performed on day 3 or day 5.
Embryo transfer
A simple, comfortable procedure that takes about 15 minutes; you can return to your daily life after a short rest.
Pregnancy test
The result you have been eagerly awaiting is determined with a Beta hCG test 9–12 days after transfer; if positive, an ultrasound check follows 2–3 weeks later.
How Is the Donor Selected?
Every donor we select for you is chosen with great care to offer the highest possible chance of success. Although the legal limit is 18–35 years of age, the highest success rates are seen at age 34 and under; our center works predominantly with donors aged 20–25 with a body mass index of 19–29 kg/m².
The careful health screenings our donors undergo
- Comprehensive personal/family health history form and physical examination
- Blood type and serology tests (HIV 1-2, Hepatitis B/C)
- Syphilis (VDRL) and multiplex PCR for sexually transmitted diseases
- Peripheral karyotype analysis
How we find the donor best suited to you
- Blood type and, in line with the couple's preference, matching of ethnicity, skin-eye-hair color and body type are carefully considered
- An anonymous or known donor (a fertile relative of the couple) may be chosen — the predominant preference is an anonymous donor
- In a fresh cycle, donor-recipient synchronization is performed; ovulation induction targets an average of 10 mature eggs

Egg Donation Cost
The cost is shaped individually according to the use of fresh or frozen donor eggs, the number of tests required, and your choice regarding genetic screening (PGT). Rather than giving a standard figure, we prepare a personalized, itemized and transparent cost plan for you during your free initial consultation — no surprises, just clarity.
Privacy and Legal Safeguards
So that you can make your decisions with complete peace of mind, the entire process is transparent, protected, and safeguarded by law.
Identity confidentiality
When an anonymous donor is used, the identities of both donor and recipient are kept mutually confidential. The couple can only access the information in the profile form.
Informed consent
We give you clear and understandable information at every step; the process moves forward only with your approval, and no procedure is carried out without your consent.
International ethical standards
Our entire process is conducted in accordance with the ethical guidelines of ESHRE and ASRM, and is regularly reviewed by our center's relevant boards.
The Emotional Side of Donation
This path has its own emotional and social dimensions, and that is completely natural. But know this: everything you experience from the moment you become pregnant will be your story, just like any other pregnancy — the child who is born will be entirely yours, both legally and in your heart.
Carefully matching your physical characteristics in donor selection helps this bond feel even stronger. Who you share the process with, and when, is entirely your own decision — your identity information is securely protected.
So that you are never alone on this sensitive and beautiful journey, our psychological counseling support is always by your side.
