North Cyprus Fertility Clinic to make a new discovery in Gender Selection IVF

With its high success rates in egg donor IVF programs, North Cyprus Fertility Clinic has become one of the most sought fertility clinics in the world. Based on 2010’s first quarter success rates, the clinic has achieved an 84% overall success rate in its egg donor IVF treatment programs. The clinic officials explain that they owe this high success rate to a number of factors. First, they have access to a large donor base who are predominantly young university students, and second, they are able to call back the donors with proven pregnancies for a second or third donation.

 

This way, they only use donors whose donations gave positive results. The clinic’s director, Dr. Savas Ozyigit, is the recipient of numerous awards in fertility services including excellence in health care services, best IVF specialist award, and Best IVF clinic award and many more. The ISO certified clinic has now established its own genetics institute where all kinds of genetic testing, including PGD for gender selection, diagnosis of HPV virus for prevention against cervical cancer and genetic testing for miscarriage investigation can all be carried out. Through this new establishment, the clinic has initiated its own research and clinical trial branch. Based on a recent report published by the clinic, the clinic research team is on to a new method to increase the chances of pregnancy in gender selection IVF. Even though the research team is a bit hesitant in revealing too much information about their ongoing study, they have stated that this new finding has been tested on 30 PGD patients and provided highly statistically significant results.

 

The new method allows the team to be able to increase the number of embryos of desired sex so that once PGD is performed; the majority of the genetically tested embryos are of the desired sex, thus increasing the chances of success with multiple embryo transfer. The research team says that the times where no embryos of desired sex could be found through PGD is now history. Among the 30 patients who participated, 22 of the patients were pregnant with a baby of desired sex, giving a success rate of more than 70% in gender selection IVF treatment. North Cyprus Fertility Clinic offers PGD gender selection treatment at a fraction of the cost charged in other parts of the world. Combining cost efficiency with high success rates and the ambitious team, it is no wonder the clinic is becoming the number one destination of many travelling IVF patients.
