Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered

Deciding on your Treatment

Deciding on the right fertility treatment can be a daunting task. There are many factors to consider, including your age, your partner’s fertility, the cause of your infertility, your financial situation, and your personal preferences.

It is important to consult with a fertility specialist to discuss your options and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. Your doctor will take into account your individual circumstances and help you understand the risks and benefits of each treatment option.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing a treatment for infertility:

  • Your age: Fertility declines with age, so it is important to seek treatment sooner rather than later, particularly if you are over 35.
  • Your partner’s fertility: If your partner’s sperm count is low or motility is poor, IVF may be a good option. 
  • The cause of your infertility: Different causes of infertility may require different treatment options. For example, if you have blocked fallopian tubes, IVF may be the best option. If you have endometriosis, surgery may be necessary to improve your fertility.
  • Your financial situation: Infertility treatment can be expensive, so it is important to consider your financial situation before you start treatment. Typically, there are a number of financial options available to help you pay for treatment, such as insurance, grants, and loans. Please refer to the ‘Financing Your Treatment’ section.

That’s exactly what we are here for! At Dream IVF Cyprus, we understand that every patient is different and believe that every dream of parenthood deserves a personalised approach. Forget one-size-fits-all solutions – that’s not how we do things. Here, your fertility journey begins with a conversation, not a checklist. Our compassionate fertility specialists take the time to understand your individual story, medical history, and aspirations. This personalised approach allows us to craft a tailored treatment plan specifically designed for your treatment success.

It is normal to experience a range of emotions during your IVF journey, including sadness, anxiety, and anger. It is important to allow yourself to feel these emotions and to find healthy ways to cope with them. Here are a few tips:

Financing Your Treatment

Fertility treatment costs in North Cyprus are significantly lower than in the United States and the United Kingdom. This is due to several factors, including lower labour costs, lower medication costs, and less government regulation. Many patients traveling to Cyprus for their treatment find that their overall costs (including their cost of treatment, travel, accommodation and living expenses) come out cheaper than undergoing treatment in their home country. Having direct access to experienced fertility specialists without needing to go on a treatment waiting list and the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful island of Cyprus are additional contributing factors that make Cyprus one of the world-leading fertility destinations. 

At Dream IVF Cyprus, we understand that the financial aspects of fertility treatment can be a significant concern for many couples and individuals. While we strive to provide the highest quality care at competitive prices, we also recognise the importance of helping you manage your expenses. Here are some practical tips that can help you save money on your infertility treatment journey:

  • Plan ahead: Consider scheduling your treatment during the off-season (October to April) when accommodation prices are often more favorable.
  • Seize opportunities: Keep an eye on discounts, promotions, and special offers that Dream IVF Cyprus may offer throughout the year. These can provide valuable savings on your treatment costs.
