Fertility coordination · North Cyprus
Your IVF journey in Cyprus, guided by one person from start to finish.
I am Tünay Engur — an embryology-trained fertility coordinator. I sit between you and an exclusively partnered IVF clinic in North Cyprus, so you always speak to the same person, in your own language, about your own treatment plan.
Free, no-obligation first conversation. Nothing is shared without your consent.
- No waiting lists
- Cycles can usually start with your next period
- 1-to-1
- One coordinator from first message to pregnancy test
- MSc UCL
- Reproductive Science & Women's Health
The role
What a coordinator actually does
A clinic sells treatment. A coordinator makes the treatment fit your life. I read your test results before your first consultation, translate the clinic's protocol into plain language, tell you which medications to start and when, keep the clinic moving so results don't sit in an inbox, and stay reachable while you are abroad. If a plan needs to change mid-cycle, you hear it from me — not from a form letter.
While you are here
Scans, appointments, transfers and accommodation coordinated around your schedule, with someone reachable in Turkish and English at any hour of the treatment day.
After the transfer
Post-transfer medication, what to expect day by day, when to test, and how to interpret the result — plus a plan for the next step either way.
Services
Treatments coordinated
Every pathway below is delivered by the partner clinic's medical team. My role is to help you choose between them and to keep the process moving.
IVF, ICSI and tandem cycles
01Conventional IVF and ICSI, plus tandem cycles for patients of advanced maternal age who want to use their own eggs alongside donor eggs in the same cycle.
- IVF (in vitro fertilisation)
- ICSI — single-sperm injection for male factor infertility
- Tandem cycles (own eggs + donor eggs in parallel)
- Frozen embryo transfer (FET)
Egg, sperm and embryo donation
02Donor programmes for patients with diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, severe male factor infertility, or repeated failed cycles.
- Egg donation with a guaranteed minimum of 10 mature eggs
- Sperm donation from a screened donor bank
- Double donation (egg + sperm) and embryo donation
- Donor matching on phenotype, blood group and background
Surgical sperm retrieval
03For azoospermia and severe male factor infertility, sperm retrieval is arranged with the clinic's andrology team and timed to the egg collection.
- TESA
- Micro-TESE
- Sperm freezing and storage
Preimplantation genetic testing
04Two testing routes, chosen against your age, history and how long you can stay abroad.
- PGT-F (FISH) — chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y; fast enough for a fresh transfer in the same cycle
- PGT-A (NGS) — all 23 chromosome pairs, day-5 blastocyst biopsy, freeze-all, transfer 2–3 weeks later
- PGT-M for known single-gene conditions
Advanced embryology lab
05The laboratory technologies that change how embryos are selected — not add-ons sold by default, but options discussed against your specific case.
- EmbryoScope — 24-hour time-lapse incubation without disturbing the culture
- IMSI — high-magnification sperm selection
- Assisted hatching
Implantation support
06Supportive protocols offered where the clinical picture justifies them, with an honest account of what the evidence does and does not show.
- EmbryoGlue
- Intralipid infusion
- Endometrial preparation protocols
Timeline
How a cycle actually runs
Most patients spend 7–10 days in Cyprus. Here is the shape of it.
- 01Day 0
First conversation
A free call or WhatsApp exchange. You describe your history; I tell you which pathways are realistic and roughly what each costs. No pressure, no packages pushed.
- 021–2 weeks
Tests and review
AMH, FSH, a recent scan and a semen analysis are reviewed by the clinic's specialist. You get a written protocol back — which medication, which dose, which day.
- 0310–12 days
Stimulation at home
You start medication in your own country and send scan results as you go. Nothing about travel is booked until the response is confirmed.
- 047–10 days
In Cyprus
Arrival, final scan, egg collection, fertilisation, and either a fresh transfer or a freeze-all depending on the genetic testing route chosen.
- 0512 days to test
After
Post-transfer medication, a test date, and a follow-up plan — including what happens and what changes if the cycle does not work.

Clinical experience
Fertility clinics, UK & North Cyprus
I completed my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science at the University of Essex, which gave me the grounding in human biology, disease processes and laboratory science that everything since has been built on.
I then completed a Master's in Reproductive Science and Women's Health at University College London, where I specialised in reproductive medicine, fertility science and the clinical side of assisted reproduction. That is where the interest became a career.
Working inside fertility clinics since then has taught me the part the brochures leave out: the difference between a good cycle and a bad one is very often communication. Results that sit unread, a protocol nobody explained, a change of plan that arrives as a text message at midnight. My job is to remove that layer.
Every patient's situation is different and deeply personal. What I offer is a safe, discreet and affordable environment in which to explore your options — and one person who knows your case well enough that you never have to explain it twice.
FAQ
Questions people actually ask
If your question is not here, message me — I answer these personally.
How much does IVF in North Cyprus cost?
It depends entirely on the pathway. A standard IVF/ICSI cycle sits well below UK and Western European prices; egg donation and PGT-A add to it. I give you a written breakdown for your specific case before you commit to anything, including medication and what is genuinely optional. I do not quote a headline price that changes later.
How long do I need to stay in Cyprus?
Usually 7–10 days for a full cycle with egg collection. If you choose PGT-F (FISH), a fresh transfer can happen in the same visit. If you choose PGT-A (NGS), embryos are frozen and you return 2–3 weeks later for the transfer — or plan a single longer stay.
Is there an age limit?
The partner clinic treats patients into their late fifties, subject to a medical assessment of whether pregnancy is safe for you. Above roughly 43–45, own-egg success rates fall sharply and donor eggs become the honest recommendation. I will tell you that clearly rather than sell you a cycle unlikely to work.
Are the donors anonymous?
Yes. Donation in North Cyprus is anonymous by law. Donors are screened for infectious disease and karyotype, and matched on phenotype, blood group and background. You receive the donor's non-identifying profile before matching is confirmed.
What are the success rates?
Success rates depend on age, egg source, embryo quality and the reason for infertility — a single clinic-wide number tells you very little about your own chances. Once I have your AMH, age and history I will give you the clinic's figures for patients in your specific bracket, and I will say plainly if they are not good.
Do you speak my language?
English and Turkish, personally. For patients who prefer Russian, German, French or Italian, translation is arranged for consultations and all written protocols.
What if the cycle does not work?
We review it properly: what the response was, what the embryology report showed, and what would change next time — protocol, lab technique, testing, or egg source. That conversation happens whether or not you choose to cycle again with the same clinic.

Tell me roughly where you are — trying for how long, any test results you already have, and what you would like to understand. I reply personally, usually within a few hours.
