Tandem IVF at Vita Altera Cyprus IVF Center
At Vita Altera Cyprus IVF Center, our goal is to provide comprehensive fertility solutions grounded in the latest scientific research and evidence-based medicine. One such innovative approach is Tandem IVF, a procedure designed to help individuals with diminished egg quantity or quality—often due to factors like advanced maternal age or a reduced ovarian reserve—while also offering the added security of donor eggs for higher success rates.
What Is Tandem IVF?
What Is Tandem IVF?Tandem IVF combines two sets of eggs in a single IVF cycle:
- Your Own Eggs: Even if you have a low ovarian reserve, we use specialized ovarian stimulation protocols to retrieve any viable eggs you may still produce.
- Donor Eggs: At the same time, we fertilize eggs from a screened, healthy donor. By developing both sets of eggs in parallel, our embryologists can compare and select the embryos most likely to result in a successful pregnancy.
In the UK, where approximately 1 in 7 couples experience fertility challenges, Tandem IVF is a valuable option, especially for women in their late 30s and 40s. By leveraging both your eggs and those of a donor, this method can increase the odds of creating viable embryos.
Why Choose Tandem IVF?

A successful Tandem IVF cycle relies on a balanced interplay of reproductive hormones:
During Tandem IVF, we carefully regulate these hormones for you and your donor, ensuring both egg retrievals are precisely timed and carried out safely.

The Tandem IVF Process
Synchronized Preparation:
We align your menstrual cycle with the donor’s through carefully selected medications. Both parties undergo ultrasound scans and blood tests to track follicle growth.Dual Egg Retrieval:
Once follicles are mature, we retrieve eggs from both you and the donor, often under light sedation. Each procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes.Fertilization in the Lab:
Your eggs and the donor’s eggs are fertilized with your partner’s (or donor’s) sperm. Our embryologists carefully culture and monitor the resulting embryos, observing them at critical developmental stages.Embryo Selection and Transfer:
By Day 3 or Day 5 (often the blastocyst stage), we select the best-quality embryos—whether they come from your eggs or the donor’s. We then transfer one or more embryos to your uterus.Follow-Up and Pregnancy Support:
Approximately 10–12 days post-transfer, a beta-hCG blood test checks for pregnancy. If the result is positive, we provide continued hormonal support to encourage implantation and embryonic development.
