What Is Embryo Donation?

Healthy embryos, a clear path to pregnancy

Embryo donation is the transfer of a high-quality embryo — created in the laboratory from health- and genetically-screened egg and sperm donors — into the womb of an intended mother whose uterus has been prepared. The intended mother carries the pregnancy herself: she grows her baby in her own womb, gives birth, and experiences the full emotional bond of pregnancy.

What sets it apart from egg or sperm donation is that both reproductive cells come from donors. Because donor eggs and sperm come from young, healthy, screened individuals, embryo quality is high — which lifts the chance of pregnancy with embryo donation to the highest level among donation treatments.

Not performed in Türkiye, this treatment is carried out in North Cyprus within a legal framework and under the supervision of the health authorities. This is why Cyprus embryo donation programmes are among the options most frequently chosen by couples travelling from Türkiye and neighbouring countries. As Clavis IVF Center, we manage the entire journey on your behalf — from matching to transfer — in its medical, legal and logistical aspects. For any terms you're curious about, take a look at our IVF glossary.

Who Is It Suitable For?

If one of the following applies to you, embryo donation may be the right option:

  • Egg and sperm factors occurring together
  • Repeated IVF failures
  • Reduced reproductive-cell quality in both partners due to advanced age
  • Women who wish to become a mother on their own (within the TRNC legal framework)
  • Risk of hereditary-disease carriership in both partners
  • Early menopause combined with severe male-factor infertility
Donor Screening & Confidentiality

How are the embryos safeguarded?

In the embryo donation programme, every egg and sperm donor undergoes a multi-stage evaluation; matching takes the characteristics of both intended parents into account.

Two-Way Health Screening

Both egg and sperm donors are put through detailed tests for infectious diseases, hormone levels and general health.

Genetic Evaluation

Candidate donors are examined for hereditary-disease carriership through genetic testing; those found unsuitable are not accepted into the programme.

Family-Matched Selection

Characteristics such as height, weight, skin tone, eye and hair colour and blood group are selected to be compatible with the intended mother and father.

Full Confidentiality Assurance

Donors and the family can never know one another; all personal and medical information is safeguarded under data-protection law.

Treatment Process

Ask a Question
What is the difference between embryo donation and egg donation?

In egg donation, the donor egg is fertilised with the intended father's sperm, so the baby is genetically linked to the father. In embryo donation, both the egg and the sperm come from screened donors. The intended mother still carries the pregnancy; she grows her baby in her own womb and gives birth.

Will a baby born through embryo donation resemble us?

Donor matching is based on the intended mother's and father's physical characteristics — such as height, weight, skin tone, eye and hair colour — together with their blood groups. Thanks to this careful matching, the baby shows a resemblance to the family; the uterine environment of the mother carrying the pregnancy also directly influences the baby's development.

Is embryo donation legal in Türkiye?

Embryo donation is not performed in Türkiye; in North Cyprus, however, it is carried out within a legal framework and under the supervision of the health authorities. This is why couples from Türkiye and many other countries choose Cyprus for this treatment.

I want to become a mother on my own — can I benefit from embryo donation?

Yes. Within the TRNC legal framework, women who do not have a partner and wish to become a mother on their own can also join the embryo donation programme. The process begins with an eligibility assessment; our coordinators plan every step together with you.

How long do I need to stay in Cyprus?

Because the uterine-preparation medications can be used in your home country under a doctor's supervision, your stay in Cyprus is usually 5–7 days. The transfer and the check-ups beforehand are completed within this time; travel and accommodation are organised by our team.

How much does embryo donation cost?

The fee varies according to the scope of the programme, any additional procedures and your accommodation preference. At the first meeting you are given a clear, transparent quote covering every item, with no surprise costs. For up-to-date information you can reach us on our WhatsApp line.

What are the stages of embryo donation?

The process consists of pre-assessment, donor matching, uterine preparation, embryo creation and transfer, and the pregnancy test. Uterine preparation is completed in your home country under a doctor's supervision; your stay in Cyprus is usually 5–7 days.
