🌈 Opening the Doors of Parenthood for Singles and Same-Sex Couples
At Fertina IVF, we offer surrogacy as a solution for women who are medically unable to carry a pregnancy, as well as for individuals with diverse family structures who wish to have a child. With this method, an embryo that is genetically yours is placed into the uterus of a surrogate mother, who voluntarily and safely carries the pregnancy until birth.
A surrogate mother is a woman who carries an embryo on behalf of another couple or individual and delivers the baby to the biological family after birth.
Note: The embryo may be created using the intended parents’ own eggs and sperm, or with donor cells. The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child.
There are two main types:
The surrogate has no genetic link to the child. The intended parents’ (or donors’) egg and sperm are used to create an embryo, which is transferred into the surrogate’s uterus.
The surrogate’s own egg is fertilized, which makes her genetically related to the child. She then carries the pregnancy to term on behalf of the intended parents.
In Cyprus, surrogacy may be subject to certain legal restrictions. For this reason, the process is evaluated individually for each patient and supported with legal consultation. At Fertina IVF, we ensure this special journey is carried out safely, while strictly adhering to both ethical and legal standards.
Surrogacy is a hopeful option that allows you to hold your own child in your arms despite a challenging medical history. At Fertina IVF, we plan the most suitable solution for you and take the first step together toward the family you’ve always dreamed of.

For patients requiring an egg or sperm donor, we have a comprehensive and carefully managed donor programme. The process is governed by strict local regulations that ensure complete donor anonymity.
Our donors undergo rigorous screening, including extensive medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations, to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. While the donor's identity remains anonymous, you will be provided with a detailed, non-identifying profile which typically includes:
This allows you to choose a donor with characteristics that are important to you while respecting the legal framework of anonymity.
We specialize in making the process seamless for our international patients. Your journey is managed by a dedicated International Patient Coordinator who will be your single point of contact.
After your initial consultation, we will create your bespoke treatment plan.
We offer two flexible pathways for our patients travelling from abroad.
For your convenience, you can begin the initial stages of your treatment at home. We will coordinate with a UK-based clinic for your preliminary scans and tests. You then travel to Cyprus to complete the final stages, requiring a stay of as little as one week for your key procedures. This option is popular as it minimizes your time away from home.
Alternatively, you can choose to undertake your entire treatment cycle with us in Cyprus. This allows you to step away from daily routines and relax in our calm, supportive environment. This all-inclusive pathway typically requires a stay of approximately three weeks.
Whichever pathway you choose, your coordinator will assist with planning your trip, providing recommendations for premium accommodation and organizing private airport transfers. Our goal is to manage all the logistics, allowing you to focus completely on your treatment in a calm, stress-free environment.
This is often the first and most important question we receive. While we are proud of our excellent success rates, which are in line with top European clinics, we believe in providing you with a transparent and realistic perspective. Rather than focusing on a single, generic statistic, we provide a personalized success projection during your initial consultation. This is based on your specific age, medical history, and diagnosis.
Our success is built upon the expertise of our world-class clinicians and embryologists, who utilize state-of-the-art laboratory technology, including AI-driven embryo selection. We are committed to ethical and transparent reporting, ensuring you have the confidence and clarity you need to make an informed decision.
