IVF with Gender Selection in Cyprus IVF Hospital
About the clinic
IVF with gender selection at Cyprus IVF Hospital in Famagusta, North Cyprus, allows parents to choose the sex of their baby through genetic testing. The hospital holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, reflecting international safety standards. With success rates reaching 70% to 80%, the facility offers medical expertise and advanced laboratory technology for family balancing.
Gender Selection and Genetic Testing
The clinic uses Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to screen embryos for chromosomal health and sex. This method allows the medical team to identify the gender before the embryo transfer takes place. The procedure helps families achieve balance while also screening for specific genetic disorders. The hospital maintains a diverse donor network for egg, sperm, and embryo donation with no waiting times. Treatment is available for women up to age 55.
Advanced Embryology Laboratory
The lab uses several tools to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy. These technologies focus on selecting the healthiest cells and monitoring development without interruption:
- IMSI: Sperm selection at 6000x magnification to find the best quality cells.
- MIRI time-lapse incubator: Continuous monitoring of embryos in a stable environment.
- ZyMōt microfluidic selection: A method to isolate the most motile sperm.
- Embryo Glue: A specialized solution used to help the embryo stick to the uterine wall.
- Hamilton Thorne Laser: A system used for assisted hatching to help the embryo implant.
Medical Expertise
Dr. Serap Kağan leads the IVF department with over 30 years of experience in obstetrics and gynecology. She is recognized as the first certified female IVF specialist in North Cyprus.
