IVF with PGT success rates in Cyprus

Success rates at leading Cypriot clinics are competitive with the best centers in Western Europe. Own-egg IVF with PGT produces the following approximate live birth rates per transfer.

1. Under 35: approximately 50 to 60 percent
2. 35 to 40: approximately 40 to 50 percent
3. 40 to 45: approximately 25 to 40 percent

For donor egg IVF with PGT, live birth rates rise to approximately 65 to 77 percent per transfer, reflecting the younger donor age and rigorous screening programs. Always ask for age-stratified live birth rates from your specific clinic rather than relying on general figures.

IVF with PGT in Cyprus: legal guidelines

1. PGT-A: fully available at private clinics in the Republic of Cyprus for medically indicated cases, including advanced maternal age, recurrent miscarriage, repeated implantation failure, and known chromosomal abnormalities
2. PGT-M: available for patients with a known inherited single-gene condition. Requires custom probe preparation four to six weeks before the retrieval cycle
3. Gender selection: prohibited for non-medical reasons in the Republic of Cyprus. Available in North Cyprus under a different regulatory framework
4. Eligibility: single women, heterosexual couples, and female same-sex couples are all eligible for treatment
5. Marital status: not required
6. Egg donation: legal and widely available. Donation is anonymous — donors' identities are not disclosed to recipients or any resulting children. This is a key draw for UK patients, where donor anonymity was removed in 2005
7. Sperm donation: legal and available at most clinics
8. Embryo export: generally permitted. Confirm logistics with your clinic and the receiving clinic in your home country before starting treatment
9. Age: most clinics in the Republic accept patients up to around age 50, subject to individual health assessment
10. Surrogacy: operates in a legal grey area in Cyprus. Not recommended for international patients without specialist legal advice

Why choose IVF with PGT in Cyprus?

1. EU-regulated care at a fraction of the cost of equivalent treatment in the UK, Germany, or Scandinavia
2. Anonymous egg donation — a significant draw for patients from the UK and other countries where anonymity has been removed, giving access to large, well-screened donor pools without identity disclosure
3. PGT-A and PGT-M both available at leading private clinics, with results typically returned within seven to ten days for PGT-A
4. Embryos created in Cyprus can generally be exported for use at a clinic in your home country
5. Short flight times from the UK, Scandinavia, the Middle East, and across Europe — Larnaca Airport connects directly to most major European cities
6. English is widely spoken in Cypriot fertility clinics, with dedicated international patient coordination teams

IVF with PGT Cyprus FAQs

Is PGT-A available throughout Cyprus?

PGT-A is available at leading private clinics in the Republic of Cyprus for medically indicated cases. It is not available in the public health system and not every private clinic offers it. Confirm with your chosen clinic before booking.

Is donor egg IVF with PGT available in Cyprus?

Yes. Cyprus has one of the most developed anonymous egg donation programs in Europe. Donor egg IVF with PGT is widely available and commonly chosen by patients over 40 or those with poor ovarian reserve. Donors are rigorously screened for genetic conditions and infectious diseases.

Can I take my frozen embryos home after treatment in Cyprus?

In most cases, yes. Cyprus generally permits embryo export. Confirm the logistics with your Cypriot clinic and the receiving clinic in your home country before you start treatment, as the process requires coordination between both centers.

How long do I need to stay in Cyprus for IVF with PGT?

Most patients complete stimulation monitoring at a clinic near home and travel to Cyprus for the egg retrieval only, which requires a stay of around eight to ten days. The frozen embryo transfer happens in a separate visit of four to five days. PGT-M cases need four to six weeks of probe preparation before the retrieval cycle begins.

Why do UK patients choose Cyprus specifically?

Two main reasons. First, costs are substantially lower than private IVF in the UK. Second, Cyprus maintains full donor anonymity — unlike the UK, where legislation removed anonymity in 2005, meaning children conceived through donation can request the donor's identity at age 18. Patients who prefer anonymous donation choose Cyprus specifically for this.
