When planning IVF abroad, one of the first questions patients ask is about time. “How many days do I need to spend in Cyprus for IVF?” The answer depends on the type of treatment, but here’s a clear breakdown:
Q1: How long is the stay for a standard IVF cycle?
For patients using their own eggs, the stay in Cyprus is usually:
-
7–10 days
-
This covers monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer
Most pre-treatment blood tests and ultrasounds can be completed in the U.S. or Canada before you travel, reducing the time spent abroad.
Q2: What about donor egg IVF?
Donor egg IVF typically requires less time for the patient:
-
5–7 days in Cyprus
-
The donor’s cycle is managed locally, so you mainly arrive for the transfer stage
This option is especially helpful for patients who cannot take long leave from work or family.
Q3: How long does a frozen embryo transfer (FET) take?
FET cycles are the shortest:
-
4–5 days in Cyprus
-
Since embryos are already prepared, your stay is mostly for lining checks and the transfer procedure
Q4: What factors can affect the timeline?
-
Medical protocol: Some patients may need a few extra monitoring days
-
Additional treatments: Procedures like PGT-A testing can extend the stay slightly
-
Flexibility: It’s wise to keep a small buffer for travel or scheduling adjustments
