ROPA Method (Reciprocal IVF) in Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic
About the clinic
The ROPA method at Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic in Famagusta allows female couples to share the biological experience of motherhood. This Reciprocal IVF procedure involves one partner providing the eggs while the other carries the pregnancy to term. The clinic operates under ISO certification and follows standards recognized by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE).
The ROPA Procedure and Sperm Donation
The process starts with a medical evaluation for both partners. One partner undergoes egg stimulation to develop healthy follicles. The other partner prepares her uterus for the embryo transfer. The clinic uses donor sperm from licensed Danish banks, such as Cryos and the European Sperm Bank. These donors undergo rigorous screening for health and genetic history. While the donation remains anonymous, the couple can select a donor based on physical traits, ethnicity, and education. The clinic uses intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to fertilize the eggs, which helps improve the chances of successful embryo development.
Advanced Options and Family Planning
Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic offers additional services to help couples meet their specific family goals. During the ROPA process, the team can perform preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) on day-five embryos. This test checks the health of the embryos before transfer. It also allows for gender selection, which some families choose for balancing or to prevent sex-linked genetic disorders. The legal environment in Northern Cyprus supports these inclusive fertility options for international patients.
Treatment Steps at Fertina IVF
- Medical Assessment: Evaluation of egg reserves and uterine health for both partners.

Reproductology and Assisted Reproduction
Dr. Erman Sever, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, leads the medical team. Ali Kızılkanat heads the embryology laboratory. He has over 25 years of experience in assisted reproduction.
The team offers several fertilization and retrieval methods:

- Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) for obstructive azoospermia
- Surgical testicular sperm extraction (TESE)
- Embryo transfer on Day 3 or Day 5
Fertility preservation is available through egg freezing using vitrification. This rapid freezing technique prevents ice crystal formation. Patients may also choose embryo cryopreservation for future family planning.
Advanced Genetics and Diagnostics
Fertina IVF uses advanced screening to support embryo selection. This helps patients with recurrent miscarriage or advanced maternal age. Genetic services include:
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for embryo assessment
- Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to identify chromosomal abnormalities
- Sperm DNA fragmentation evaluation
- Hysteroscopy to examine the uterine cavity
Specialists use NGS platforms like Illumina to analyze sequencing libraries. These tools identify genetic variants before embryo transfer.
Obstetrics and Gynecological Care
The clinic supports patients beyond early pregnancy stages. The Women's Health Department manages vaginal deliveries and Cesarean sections. Dr. Erman Sever oversees these services after completing his residency at Kocaeli University Hospital. Diagnostic laparoscopy is available to examine and remove ovarian cysts.
