Safe & Personalized Delivery Care

Vaginal Delivery and Caesarean Section

At Fertina IVF, we support expectant mothers to go through the birthing process safely. The
decision between a vaginal delivery (natural birth) and a Cesarean section (C-section) is a
major one that depends on a multitude of factors, including the medical history, the health
status, and the specific characteristics of the pregnancy.

Vaginal Delivery (Natural birth)

Vaginal birth is the process by which the baby is born through the mother's birth canal. One of the main advantages of vaginal delivery is a faster postpartum recovery for the mother.
Moreover, the risk of infection and complications associated with surgery is reduced.
Vaginal birth also promotes better activation of hormones that influence the maternal-infant
bond and the initiation of lactation. A crucial aspect is the natural support provided by the
mothers body during the birthing process.

Cesarean Section

A Cesarean Section (C-section) is a surgical intervention in which the baby is delivered through incisions in the abdominal wall and the uterus. This method is frequently utilized for medical indications, such as when there is a risk to the health of the mother or the baby. In certain instances, a C-section may be planned in advance due to specific medical conditions.
One advantage of a C-section is the predictability of the delivery process and the rapid delivery of the baby, which can be life-saving in some situations. A C-section may also be recommended if a vaginal delivery could pose a threat to the health of the mother or the child.

How to Make the Choice

The choice between a C-section and a vaginal delivery is individual and must be based on medical indications, the condition of the mother and baby, as well as personal preferences and circumstances. It is essential to discuss all options with your physician and obtain professional advice.

What is the process for using a donor and what information is provided?

For patients requiring an egg or sperm donor, we have a comprehensive and carefully managed donor programme. The process is governed by strict local regulations that ensure complete donor anonymity.

Our donors undergo rigorous screening, including extensive medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations, to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. While the donor's identity remains anonymous, you will be provided with a detailed, non-identifying profile which typically includes:

Age and physical characteristics (hair/eye colour, height, build)
Blood type
Nationality and educational background
Profession and personal interests/hobbies

This allows you to choose a donor with characteristics that are important to you while respecting the legal framework of anonymity.

How do you manage treatment for international patients travelling to North Cyprus?

We specialize in making the process seamless for our international patients. Your journey is managed by a dedicated International Patient Coordinator who will be your single point of contact.

After your initial consultation, we will create your bespoke treatment plan.

We offer two flexible pathways for our patients travelling from abroad.

1. The Coordinated Pathway (1-Week Stay in Cyprus)

For your convenience, you can begin the initial stages of your treatment at home. We will coordinate with a clinic in your home country for your preliminary scans and tests. You then travel to Cyprus to complete the final stages, requiring a stay of as little as one week for your key procedures. This option is popular as it minimizes your time away from home.

2. The Immersive Pathway (3-Week Stay in Cyprus)

Alternatively, you can choose to undertake your entire treatment cycle with us in Cyprus. This allows you to step away from daily routines and relax in our calm, supportive environment. This all-inclusive pathway typically requires a stay of approximately three weeks.

Whichever pathway you choose, your coordinator will assist with planning your trip, providing recommendations for premium accommodation and organizing private airport transfers. Our goal is to manage all the logistics, allowing you to focus completely on your treatment in a calm, stress-free environment.

What are your success rates and how can we trust them?

This is often the first and most important question we receive. While we are proud of our excellent success rates, which are in line with top European clinics, we believe in providing you with a transparent and realistic perspective. Rather than focusing on a single, generic statistic, we provide a personalized success projection during your initial consultation. This is based on your specific age, medical history, and diagnosis.

Our success is built upon the expertise of our world-class clinicians and embryologists, who utilize state-of-the-art laboratory technology. We are committed to ethical and transparent reporting, ensuring you have the confidence and clarity you need to make an informed decision.
