Where to begin?

The first step in treatment is to see your local gynecologist for an ultrasound scan (sonogram). This is to make sure that the female partner has no major fibroids, polyps in the uterus, or cysts in the ovaries, or nothing in general that can potentially interfere with a successful pregnancy.         

The initial treatment is carried out very easily with a chart of treatment we will provide you based on your credentials. This chart of treatment will contain daily medication use, as well as a schedule for your doctor appointments. It will all be made clear once we know what type of a protocol to follow. In order for us to be abe to provide you with a chart of treatment, we will need to know whether the female partner’s menstrual periods are regular, and what her day 3 hormone levels are. In other words, we will require FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactine and AMH hormone tests on day 3 of menstrual period to make an assessment. Once we are able to provide you with a chart, then we can carry out the preliminary work through email and phone communication both with you and your gynecologist. Once the preliminary work is done, you will need to come to Cyprus for about 6 days. You will be expected to arrive in Cyprus around the 12^th / 13^th day of menstrual period.

We will need infectious disease test results before we can perform the embryo transfer here. You can either have them done over there or here once you arrive at our clinic. This is just to make sure we do not pass any infectious diseases onto the newborn.

Obtaining Medication and the Initial Treatment

We will be able to send you a scanned copy of your prescription once we see some test results and identify the right mode of treatment. You can use this prescription at the international pharmacy that we work with. The pharmacy is able to deliver worldwide, and does have reasonable prices.

With the medication you purchase, you will be able to have your preliminary work locally under our supervision and with guidance of your local gynecologist. By the end of this process, you will be required to travel to Cyprus for 6 days.

Administering the Medication

The injections are all sub-cutaneous, and are administered around the tummy area. The following video provides information about mixing and dose adjustment.

Traveling to Cyprus               

Our clinic is located in Nicosia, North Cyprus. The nearest airport to our clinic is the Ercan Airport. All flights into Ercan Airport do go through one of the cities in Turkey, so there are no direct flights. The most straightforward route into Ercan would be to fly through Istanbul.

Another alternative is Larnaca Airport in the South. It is located approximately 60 km South of our clinic, and takes about one hour to travel. Sometimes, flights into Larnaca can be much cheaper depending on the season, so checking out both airports will make sense before booking your flights.
