At Vita Altera Cyprus IVF Center, our mission is to provide cutting-edge fertility solutions grounded in scientific evidence and delivered with genuine care. Sperm donation is one of the transformative services we offer, providing hope for individuals and couples who require donor sperm to achieve parenthood. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore how sperm donation works, why Cyprus is a leading destination for this treatment, and how our center ensures a supportive, personalized experience—especially for patients coming from the United Kingdom.
Why Sperm Donation?
Sperm donation is a medical procedure where a healthy male donor voluntarily provides sperm, which is then used in assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI). It offers new possibilities for:
Couples Facing Male Factor Infertility
When the male partner has a low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or other significant abnormalities, donor sperm can be a highly effective alternative to conventional IVF. According to UK statistics, male infertility is a contributing factor in about half of all infertility cases.Single Women
Women who choose to become parents on their own can benefit from donor sperm to fulfill their dream of motherhood.Same-Sex Female Couples
Lesbian couples often turn to sperm donation to start or expand their family, using IVF or IUI with donor sperm.Complex Medical Factors
Couples who have tried IVF multiple times without success, or those with genetic concerns, may also opt for donor sperm to improve their chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Why Choose Cyprus for Sperm Donation?
Over the years, Cyprus has emerged as a premier fertility hub, attracting patients from the UK and across the globe. Key reasons include:- Advanced Medical Infrastructure Fertility clinics in Cyprus are equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and adhere to rigorous international guidelines similar to those recommended by organizations like the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in the UK.
- Skilled Specialists Our team at Vita Altera includes embryologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and nurses who have extensive experience in donor conception, ensuring each patient’s protocol is tailored to achieve the best possible outcome.
- High Success Rates Thanks to innovative technology and evidence-based medicine, many clinics in Cyprus—including ours—report success rates that match or surpass European averages.
- Cost-Effectiveness Even when factoring in travel and accommodation, patients often find that fertility treatments in Cyprus offer a more affordable option compared to private care in the UK.

Sperm Donation at Vita Altera: Our Approach
We follow a methodical, patient-centered process to ensure both safety and success:
Donor Screening
- Medical Assessment: Our donors undergo comprehensive physical and hormonal evaluations. We also test for infectious diseases (e.g., HIV, hepatitis) and conduct a detailed semen analysis.
- Genetic Testing: We screen for hereditary conditions to minimize the risk of transmitting genetic disorders.
- Psychological Evaluation: Each donor is interviewed by a qualified mental health professional to confirm emotional readiness.
Matching Process
- Recipient Preferences: We consider factors such as physical attributes, ethnicity, and any specific traits or characteristics that are important to the recipient.
- Anonymous Matching: In line with local regulations, donor identity is kept confidential unless otherwise specified by law.
IVF Preparation
- Ovarian Stimulation (for Female Recipients): We customize hormone regimens to stimulate the development of multiple eggs. This approach is especially beneficial for older women or those with a lower ovarian reserve.
- Monitoring: Through ultrasounds and blood tests, our team carefully tracks follicle growth to schedule the egg retrieval at the optimal time.
Fertilization and Embryo Culture
- Sperm Preparation: We thaw and prepare the donor sperm for fertilization, ensuring the highest quality sperm cells are used.
- Embryo Development: Fertilization is performed in our advanced laboratory, either through conventional IVF or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), depending on clinical needs. Embryos are cultured in specialized incubators until they reach the desired developmental stage.
Embryo Transfer
- Selection of Top-Quality Embryos: Using sophisticated techniques such as time-lapse monitoring, we identify the most viable embryos for transfer.
- Transfer Procedure: The selected embryo(s) is gently placed into the recipient’s uterus using a thin catheter, typically requiring no anesthesia.
- Pregnancy Test and Follow-Up: About 10–12 days later, a blood test (beta-hCG) confirms pregnancy. If the result is positive, we continue to monitor hormone levels and early fetal development.

- Counseling Services: Our on-site or virtual counselors help you navigate the emotional aspects of donor conception.
- Stress-Reduction Approaches: Incorporating relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and nutritional guidance can positively impact treatment outcomes.
