Egg donation is a special IVF method developed for women who have a low chance of pregnancy with their own eggs. Eggs taken from a healthy donor are fertilized in the laboratory with the sperm of the father-to-be, and the resulting embryos are transferred into the uterus of the mother-to-be.
With this method, the genetic link is established through the father and the donor, while the woman who carries the pregnancy and gives birth becomes the mother. It offers a reliable and highly successful option for women who cannot conceive due to advanced age, early menopause, low ovarian reserve, or genetic risks.
This treatment is generally applied to the following groups:
Women over 40 with diminished ovarian reserve
Women who have entered menopause at an early age
Couples who have experienced repeated IVF failures
Women who lost ovarian function after cancer treatment
Patients with hereditary/genetic disease risks
The experienced team of Cyprus Hope Fertility Clinic and Op. Dr. Zehra Onar ensures that the process proceeds in the best possible way with a personalized approach for every patient.
Northern Cyprus stands out worldwide for its legal assurance and high success rates:
Legal process: Egg donation is legal in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and supervised by the Ministry of Health.
No waiting list: Thanks to a wide donor pool, treatment can start quickly.
Success rates: Pregnancy chances reach 70–80% with young and healthy donors.

Donor diversity: Easier matching based on physical traits and ethnic background.
Initial Consultation: Medical history, hormone tests, and sperm analysis are evaluated.
Planning: The uterus of the mother-to-be is prepared with medication, and a donor is matched.
Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are collected from the donor and fertilized with sperm.
Laboratory Stage: Embryos are developed, and the best-quality ones are selected.
Transfer: The embryo is placed into the uterus; the procedure is painless.
Pregnancy Test: A β-hCG blood test is performed 12 days after transfer.
The pregnancy rate in the first attempt is around 70–80%. Donor age, sperm quality, and uterine health directly affect the outcome.
With multiple attempts, the success rate can reach up to 90%.
Women over 40 with diminished ovarian reserve

Without Cyprus Hope IVF I would not have my beautiful daughter. I was a client with them for just over a year. My coordinator Zeren was amazing, so supportive and with us every step of the way. Dr Zehra was fantastic and made sure my protocols were personalised to me and thorough. Communication was great, done through messages, emails and video calls and I never felt like anything was too much trouble. Forever grateful to them for making our dreams come true.
We had a very spécial expérience with Team Z. All the team is So professional and our coordinator Jeanne is available to answer all the questions. We wouldn’t trade our expérience for an other and recommande it without any doubt. Very progessional, very clean clinic and worth it.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Hope IVF clinic from start to finish. The entire team specially care coordinator Gezem was incredibly compassionate, professional, and supportive throughout our journey. From the very first consultation, Dr Zehra took the time to explain every step clearly, answer all our questions, and create a personalized treatment plan that made us feel confident and cared for. The Care coordinator Gezem was always responsive, kind, and reassuring — especially during the more emotional moments. The clinic itself is clean, modern, and well-organized, which made every visit comfortable and stress-free. I had a wonderful ...
Customer service amazing. Medical care top notch. The whole team is dedicated before, during and after procedure. Friendly whilst professional staff. These guys found the reasons for my issues and sorted them when we felt very let down by UK doctors. We are now 21 weeks pregnant with twins and this is purely down to the team at hope. Thankyou Zeren, you are the best.

Zeren and doctor Zehra (team Z) were very sweet, understanding and patient with us. They listened to our wishes and they made our dream come true. After 2 boys we are now 17 weeks pregnant with our girl. They made our family complete. 🫶🏻 I would highly recommend them. Zeren was amazing through the whole process. Nothing was too much. I could contact her at any time. I felt really supported. Doctor Zehra takes her time for every patient and has a plan that really fits you. She also listens to your questions and doubts. They are very professional. ...
I just had my embryo transfer and I can say that I had an amazing experience. The staff were friendly and professional, they explained everything clearly and made me feel at ease. Big shout to Dr Zahra, Merve my dear Coordinator and Jeanne. . Good news loading
We had an excellent experience with Dr Z and Zeren. Zeren was amazingly attentive and kind and we felt supported at every stage. The treatment was during Covid so there were extra logistical complications - these were overcome with impeccable organisation. We felt comfortable and that the treatment plan was personal, sensible and clearly communicated. We now have our beautiful daughter to be grateful for!
If you are seeking expert fertility treatment, I would highly recommend Cyprus Hope IVF consultation. I first made contact with Gizem around June 2024 and she was absolutely helpful and kind. Gizem was never tired of my questions and always responded calmly. My trip to Northern Cyprus from London Gatwick via Istanbul was facilitated with the support of Gizem (dates, airport transfer and hotel reservation). I was made to complete numerous tests, scans and even mammogram. The hospital is big and clean, every other member of the team that I met was friendly and helpful. Dr Zehra is pleasant ...
We had a really positive experience with this IVF clinic. From our first consultation, the team made us feel listened to, supported, and never rushed. The doctors explained everything clearly and were honest about our chances, which we really appreciated. The nursing staff were kind and reassuring throughout what can be a very emotional process, and the clinic was always well organised and responsive to questions. While IVF is never easy, we felt we were in safe and caring hands. We’re very grateful for the care we received and would recommend this clinic to others starting their fertility journey.
If you’re considering IVF I can 100% recommend Hope Fertility (Team Z). Zeren was an angel the whole way through and nothing was too much trouble! Dr Z was great too, very calming and skilled, felt as ease every single time I visited the clinic/hospital. The results speak for themselves. I am 18 weeks pregnant with my little baby girl and couldn’t be happier with the treatment I received from this clinic. I’m so glad I went with team Z and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future should the time to have another baby come one ...

We had our first IVF cycle through Hope IVF last year and it was a success. The communication was great since the beginning and Zeren was exceptional in guiding us through all the steps. Dr. Zehra is highly experienced in what she does and provided the best treatment protocol. Thank you Team Z
My fertility journey is very long, tough and heartbreaking but needless to say that I had the best experience under Hope IVF (Team Z). At the time I chose the team, I was at the end of my journey having had several failed IVFs in the UK, cyprus and Nigeria. My husband and I thought to do a final attempt and then I remembered that a friend had recommended Team Z after she had also had several failed cycles. So understandably I approached the team with so many anxieties and hopelessness. But my cordinator Zeren was extremely lovely and ...
At the end of November, I welcomed my second baby girl into the world — a miracle made possible by the incredible team at Cyprus Hope IVF. Our first daughter was conceived after our very first ICSI treatment in Germany. Two years after her birth, we hoped to grow our family again, but this time our journey turned into a true struggle. At our clinic in Germany, we went through six ICSI cycles. Each time we would get at most one blastocyst, and not once in all six attempts did we achieve a pregnancy. After two emotionally exhausting years, ...
The experience with Hope Fertility was so much better than my experience of many IVF rounds in the UK. The advice and checks were more thorough and they prescribed additional medication to help improve the chances. The advice I received was really honest about my chances of success with transfer, which meant I only travelled over when the chances were the highest. Zeren was a fantastic and supportive contact who communicated brilliantly with me at all times of the day and went out of her way to help me by working late one evening.
I received amazing service at the clinic. The staff is warm, friendly and generous with their time. They really care on helping you achieve success. I would highly recommended as I can now report being successful in my last transfer!

Our dream came true! Thank you so much for everything! Very satisfied with Cyprus Hope IVF. Wonderful experience! Finally parents! Dear Dr. Sahra, Dear Ms. Serifa, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. My wife and I have been married since March 14, 2006, and waited many years to have a child. Thanks to your support, your kindness, and your tremendous help, our greatest wish has finally come true. On March 8, 2025, we had IVF treatment with you. You were both always very kind, patient, and helpful – we felt we were in ...

We had the best experience at Hope Fertility (Team Z) after two failed rounds in the UK, it finally worked for us after nearly giving up hope; both in our 40s it was not an easy journey at all. We want to thank Zeren (my care coordinator) she’s excellent, so caring, friendly, approachable, kind and extremely knowledgeable about the whole process and was there at every step of the way with so much reassurance. We looked at another clinic prior to this one and declined as I knew this was the best one for us after so much research. ...
My wife had five miscarriages. In the UK we contacted many IVF centres, and they all told us there was no hope for pregnancy due to age, as my wife is over 45. We had completely lost hope. But miraculously, Hope Fertility gave us hope again. Gizem Karataşlı is amazing — she truly helped us. My wife received IVF treatment under Dr. Zehra, and now she is pregnant. We are incredibly happy and grateful for their service. They are very professional and friendly. If it were possible, I would give them 100 stars, but unfortunately the maximum is only ...
I was welcomed veey nicely, from day one when I first spoken to Gizem and explained my situation. I had 4 attempts in the past and all failure. I was so disappointed and disheartened. I must also agree that my husband has a big hand in this. Without hia support I would bot have the courage to keep looking for places to try and have a baby. Gyzem encouraged me and said you can come and we will do all the tests and we will then go from there but just think positive and everything will be fine. After ...
A huge thank you to Dr Zehra and Zeren for giving us our baby. They are honestly the BEST clinic I’ve ever come across. Zeren is so supportive and always on hand to answer (many!) of our questions. I can’t thank the team enough. You are all amazing.
