Cyprus IVF Center Frequently Asked Questions
Who should consider IVF at Vita Altera Cyprus IVF Center?
Any individual or couple experiencing difficulties conceiving for at least a year—or those with identified medical factors such as blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or genetic concerns—may benefit from IVF. We welcome patients from the UK and worldwide, offering personalized treatment pathways that address diverse causes of infertility.

How does the treatment process work if I live in the UK?
We begin with a comprehensive online or phone consultation, reviewing your medical history and fertility goals. After establishing a customized plan, we’ll coordinate the timing of travel to Cyprus for key procedures—such as egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Throughout the process, we maintain close communication, ensuring you understand each step and can comfortably return home once the critical phases of treatment are completed.
Is there an age limit for undergoing IVF at Vita Altera?
While we do not enforce a strict upper age limit, we strongly recommend a thorough medical evaluation, especially for women over 40, due to reduced ovarian reserve and heightened pregnancy risks. Our specialists will discuss potential success rates, alternative options (like egg donation), and any considerations unique to advanced maternal age.
What fertility tests do you perform before starting IVF?
Hormone Profiles: We check hormones such as FSH, LH, AMH, TSH, prolactin, and estradiol.
Ultrasound Assessments: These scans evaluate ovarian structure, endometrial health, and any uterine abnormalities.
Semen Analysis: We analyze sperm count, motility, and morphology for male-factor infertility.
Additional Investigations: Depending on your history, we may recommend hysterosalpingography (HSG), genetic screenings, or advanced imaging.

Do you offer genetic testing or sex selection?
Yes. We offer advanced genetic screening—PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing)—to identify chromosomal or monogenic disorders before embryo transfer. Couples wishing to prevent specific hereditary conditions or, in some regions under certain legal frameworks, elect for sex selection can benefit from these tests. The legal and ethical considerations vary internationally, so we guide each patient individually.
Is it safe to travel soon after embryo transfer?
Embryo transfer is minimally invasive and typically requires no extended hospital stay. Many of our UK patients schedule a brief rest period immediately after the procedure and travel home within a day or two. We recommend moderate activity, avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy lifting, and following any specific instructions provided by your medical team.
How many embryos can be transferred at once?
Regulations in Northern Cyprus generally permit transferring up to three embryos, depending on factors like maternal age, embryo quality, and a patient’s medical history. However, our specialists often advise a more conservative approach—usually transferring one or two embryos—to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies and associated complications.
Will I need fertility medications, and what are their potential side effects?
Most IVF cycles involve controlled ovarian stimulation, which requires injectable hormone medications. Common side effects may include bloating, mild abdominal discomfort, or mood fluctuations. Severe complications like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) are rare but possible. We closely monitor hormone levels and follicular development to keep any risks minimal.
How soon will I know if the treatment has worked?
You can typically take a pregnancy test (beta-hCG blood test) around 10–14 days after embryo transfer. If positive, we will guide you through the next steps of early pregnancy care or coordinate with your local GP or obstetrician in the UK for ongoing prenatal supervision.
