Sperm Donation Cyprus – IVF Treatment with Donor Sperm
What Is Sperm Donation?
Sperm Donation is an advanced fertility treatment used in IVF programs for couples who cannot achieve pregnancy using the male partner’s sperm.
In Sperm Donation treatments in Cyprus eggs from the female partner are fertilized with donor sperm obtained from certified sperm banks. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.
This treatment is commonly recommended for couples experiencing male-factor infertility, particularly in cases such as azoospermia, where no sperm is present in the semen.
The treatment plan for Sperm Donation is always personalized and depends on several factors including:
- Age of the female partner
- Ovarian reserve
- Embryo development potential
If the ovarian reserve is insufficient, egg donation may also be recommended to increase the chances of pregnancy.

What Is a Sperm Bank?
A sperm bank, also called a cryobank, is a specialized medical facility where sperm samples from healthy donors are collected, tested, frozen and stored for future use.
Before being approved for donation, sperm donors undergo extensive medical and genetic screening to ensure the safety of the treatment.
Sperm banks provide sperm samples that have been medically tested and approved for IVF fertilization procedures.
In some countries where sperm donation is legally restricted, couples may travel abroad to access Sperm Donation Cyprus treatment.

Stages of Sperm Donation Treatment in Cyprus
Preparation Phase
Before traveling for Sperm Donation Treatmet in Cyprus, the female partner begins hormonal medication to stimulate the ovaries.
This stimulation process usually starts on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle and lasts approximately 9–12 days.
IVF Treatment in Cyprus
After the preparation phase, the IVF treatment is performed in Cyprus.
The main steps include:
- Egg retrieval procedure
- Fertilization of eggs with donor sperm
- Embryo development in the laboratory
- Embryo transfer on day 3 or day 5
The treatment phase in Cyprus typically lasts 5–7 days.
At Dogus IVF Center, blastocyst transfer (day 5) is preferred whenever possible because it increases the chances of implantation.
Pregnancy is confirmed approximately 12 days after embryo transfer with a β-hCG blood test.
Embryo Freezing (Vitrification)
If multiple high-quality embryos are obtained during the Sperm Donation Treatment, remaining embryos can be frozen using the vitrification method.
Frozen embryos may be used in the future if:
- The first IVF cycle is unsuccessful
- The couple wishes to have another child
Factors Affecting Success in Sperm Donation
The success of Sperm Donation depends on several factors:
- Age of the female partner
