Hello I am Dr Vedat UGUREL,

I was born in the white walled city of Nicosia shortly after the sad separation of the island in two communities. Having lived my early childhood in Cyprus, my parents decided to move to Turkey.

After I have completed my formal education in İstanbul, I was accepted to Istanbul University, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty , Medicine in English Department which enrolls nationwide only around 50 select students per year.

The change in the duration of residencies in Turkey in the light of a probable conformity to EU standards resulted in my long and intense working period of 5 plus years at one of the busiest hospitals of Istanbul, namely Kartal Education and Research Hospital. Looking back at these times, these years contributed a lot to my surgical abilities with thousands of patients operated and scans done.

I worked as an Ob&Gyn specialist in Eastern Turkey. At that time, I reinstalled the obsolete delivery ward and operation rooms in use and hence helped hundreds of women who had no means to reach not so near cities due either to poverty or harsh weather conditions.

Having had always on my mind to work in the field of Assisted Reproduction to help subfertile women to get pregnant, I applied to a vacant position at University of Trakya, Edirne. Being granted the title of Assistant Professor at this institution , I was appointed to University of Istanbul IVF Unit to enhance my knowledge and in return to build the first government funded IVF Unit in the European part of Turkey. I am a certified Assisted Reproductive Medicine doctor recognized by the ministry of health of Turkey and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

After 9 years of service at the university hospital, I moved back to Cyprus to continue my practice in the field of infertility to help many more patients.

I speak Turkish, English and French fluently and have articles in the field of obstetrics-gynecology-infertility in internationally recognized journals as well as in Turkish journals.

IVF Treatment Types & Fees

IVF

There are many reasons that prevent an egg and a sperm to encounter and fuse to form a baby. IVF treatment is in a way to bypass all these inconveniences and help them find each other in a petri dish. IVF takes the initial very important steps of reproduction out of the human body with conditions identical to it. To achieve this crucial first step, the eggs should be developed in the ovaries then collected when they reach maturity and should be fertilized under microscope by the embryologists and followed until they are ready to implant. Although it is easy to explain in this manner, the things are not always so smooth and hundred percent effective if we start it with only one egg because not every embryo formed from an egg is a canditate for a successful implantation in the uterine cavity and those who implant not always lead to a liveborn baby. To overcome this inherent inefficieny in the nature of human reproduction, we prescibe the medications that allow us to grow more than one follicle and hence eggs in the ovaries, at each treatment cycle, we can pick up as much eggs as we want as long as the ovarian reserve of the patient is adequate. After being followed for 5 days in the embryo culture, the blastocysts are ready to be selected for embryo transfer. Here in Cyprus, we may transfer up to 3 embryos per transfer to increase the chances of pregnancy up to 85 percent per started cycle. 👉👉 For more information and affordable fees please contact

TANDEM IVF

Depending on a lot of factors including but not limited to genetic, environment, foods, the ovarian reserve of a woman decreases with aging. This decrease in the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries decreases the chance of conception as well as the efficiency of IVF treatments. In some women, there is solely unexplained diminished quality of eggs which may also accompany the normal aging process. For those patients who still have the chance to use their own eggs but also open to egg donation to increase their chances, we recommend a tandem cycle IVF. In this type of treatment, we synchronise an egg donor to our patient's cycle so that we coincide the egg collection on the same day. The eggs from our patient and from donor are fertilized with the husband sperm and are followed at the same time. The name of tandem comes from this synchrony of two treatments in one menstrual cycle. 👉 For more information

EGG DONATION

Early or natural menopause is one of the most common indication for egg donation IVF. In some cases, the patients may ask for egg donation IVF treatments because of poor egg quality and repetitive failures of embryo develoment in their previous cycles. The same sex couples may also require an egg donor. The egg donors are screened for sexually transmissible diseases frequently and checked regularly for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, syphilis. The donors are also questioned for familial genetic background and checked for thalassemia and other hemoglobinopathies. Genetic testing is also mandatory for donors. The egg donors in Cyprus are anonymous by law and the identity is kept in the files as a code designated by the IVF Centre. The process begins by matching a suitable donor to the patient or couple's physical characteristics (unless specific donor characteristics are required). The donor's cycle is synchronised according to the treatment plan so that when the patient starts her medications to build up the womb lining to accept the embryo, the donor starts on her injections to grow her follicles to collect the eggs. When the womb lining is measured to be adequate thickness and the follicles of the donor reach to a certain size, at the time of egg collection, the eggs collected are fertilized with the husband sperm. We only use ICSI to keep our fertilization rates high rather than classic ivf with no extra expense on behalf of the patient required. On the same day, the patient starts on progesteron treatment so that the womb lining primed by only estrogen until this time, by the effect of the pregnancy hormone, progesteron, becomes ready to accept the embryos. on the 6th day of progesteron, the embryo transfer is performed. 10 days later a blood beta-hCG testing is ordered. Our patient is a biologic parent in the sense that she will carry the pregnancy and give birth which is a great bond for the child and the mother. Due to the difficulty of finding donors and the high expenses in the process of screening tests and treatment, egg donation programs are 2 to 3 times more expensive in EU countries and much more in Americas and this is reflected to the patient. Our patients may benefit our egg donation treatments in North Cyprus with low expense high live birth rates. 👉 For more information

SPERM DONATION

Sperm donation may be required by single women who will use their own eggs as well as married women whose husbands have nonobstrutive azospermia. Male partner generally already has a diagnosis with a testicular biopsy demonstrating the absence of sperm precursor cells. In cases with repeated fetilization failure, sperm donation might be necessary which should be decided together with the doctor on the likelihood of pregnancy if they continue with the husband sperm rather than the donated sperm. The assisted reproductive medicine law of North Cyprus mandates that the donated sperm should be imported only from prestigious sperm banks in Europe so all IVF clinics must apply to the Ministry of Health for permission. Due to these regulations, we import the donated sperm from the reputable Denmark sperm banks. For special requirements for donated sperm, we help you to find the best match or you may check the profiles of the donors through their websites. For more information on sperm donation treatment please contact us...

EMBRYO DONATION

In some cases, when both the man and woman are infertile or single women who are in menopause or having very low levels of ovarian reserve tests or failed cycles with own eggs and donor sperms, both donor eggs and sperms are the best option. Donor embryos formed in this manner are transfered into the uterine cavity of the patient after the endometrial lining is prepared with medications similar to the egg donation programs. We form donor embryos only for our patients in a specific manner to suit their physical characteristics or their preference as to the donors. 👉👉 For more information and affordable fees please contact

GESTATIONAL SURROGACY

Women who have congenital absence of uterus or had hysterectomy due to different gynecologic aetiologies might have their ovaries in place but they need a gestational surrogate to deliver their child. In some cases, even if the woman has the uterus in place, pregnancy might be so dangerous that it might endanger their lives, for example a previous preeclampsia in the previous pregnancy or a past or present malignancy. In all these circumstances, the egg collection is done with ovarian stimulation protocols suitable for the original reason to apply for a surrogacy program and after the collection of the eggs and fertilization by the partner sperm, the embryos are transferred to the gestational surrogate's womb. The gestational carrier will not be genetically related to the child. In this type of third party reproduction, a legal bounding contract before the treatment according to the laws of your country of origin is recommended under the legal guidance of a lawyer. 👉👉 For more information and affordable fees please contact

LGBT PARENTING

For lgbt couples or singles, the above mentioned treatment protocol(s) in different combinations may be recommended according to the gender and the decision of the couple or the single individual. Because parenting rights might differ from country to country, in this type of third party reproduction, a legal bounding contract before the treatment according to the laws of your country of origin is recommended under the legal guidance of a lawyer.

FAMILY BALANCING-PGT- for ANEUPLOIDY DETECTION AND GENDER SELECTION

A baby girl is born with 1-2 million eggs in her ovaries. Until she reaches puberty this number declines to half a million. As the woman reaches her 35 years and onwards, this number comes to a nadir where only few hundreds of eggs left until the menopause. Unfortunately this decline in quantity is coupled with a decline in the quality. Most of the meiotic errors in the formation of an egg cell is related with advanced maternal age and is related to increased incidence of genetically abnormal embryos. This, in turn, leads to repeated implantation failures or genetically abnormal fetuses which might abort or need to be medically aborted by the constent of the patients. For a subfertile couple to have such a consequence after having achieved so long waited pregnancy is obviously catastrophic psychologically as well as financially. To overcome this, in the light of the most up-to-date medical literature, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) by taking a 4-5 cells from the trophoectoderm (future placenta of the blastocyst) on day 5 of the embryonic development and sending them to the genetic laboratory, we can elucidate the whole chromosome sequence of the embryo. This helps us in advanced maternal age to transfer only the genetically normal embryos to avoid the aferomentioned miscarriages and medical abortions.

When the embryo becomes 8 cell on day 3 after fertilization, one cell is biopsied and sent for genetic testing. This method is the main method used to determine some of the most common genetic abnormalities as well as to determine the gender of the embryos. The selection of the gender of the embryos with normal 13, 18 and 21 not only serves to family balancing in terms of gender but also rules out the possibility of trisomies such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21). 👉👉 For more information and affordable fees please contact

Northern Cyprus

Cyprus is one of the largest islands in the Mediterrranean sea. The island is divided since 1974 by a green line buffer zone passing through the capital city Nicosia. The North Cyprus is ethnically Turkish and the South is Greek in majority. Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has its own government and legistation. This has a great positive impact on the IVF treatments from legal perspective.

When it comes to IVF with either self or donated reproductive cells, North Cyprus is one of the most popular destination for patients from Western Europe, Middle East, Turkey and even Americas. The reasons for this high demand are as follows:

1. Low cost of treatments

2.Permissive laws

Liberal laws about assisted reproductive technologies which leaves the freedom of decision to doctors to define the number of the embryos to be transferred at each IVF cycle that increases the pregnancy rates per IVF cycle started. Rather that making strict rules to avoid multiple pregnancies and hence to avoid the financial burden that might be put on the shoulders of the health insurances of tax payers in their own country.

3.Warm climate, top notch touristic attractions, services and facilities.

IVF treatments by their nature have an expectation in it.The expectancy of a long time waited baby sometimes with the burden of previously failed treament cycles at a time might become too much to bear. We understand and feel your hesitations and psychology of these hard times. Everything feels better when there is sunlight isn't it? Cyprus has approximately 340 sunny days per year with winter average temperature of 13-15 °C and in summer it is 30-33 °C. While having your treatment and after your embryos formed, if you wish to stay until the embryo transfer, you will have 3 to 5 days of ''free time'' you may enjoy basking under the sun and explore this wonderful island.

What science says?

Xxx..Scope

Does a time-lapse system (TLS) improve the chances of a pregnancy and live-born baby, and reduce the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth?

There is no good evidence showing that TLS is more or less effective than conventional methods of embryo incubation. Cochrane Review Published: 29 May 2019

Regular (ICSI) versus ultra-high magnification (IMSI) sperm selection for assisted reproduction

Results from RCTs do not support the clinical use of IMSI. There is no evidence of effect on live birth or miscarriage and the evidence that IMSI improves clinical pregnancy is of very low quality. There is no indication that IMSI increases congenital abnormalities. Cochrane Review Published: 25 July 2013

Is bed rest after embryo transfer necessay?

There is good evidence not to recommend bed rest after embryo transfer. (Grade A) The ASRM Practice Committee Opinion Page 891

Does acupuncture improve the outcomes of assisted reproduction?

There is no evidence that acupuncture improves live birth or pregnancy rates in assisted conception. Cochrane Review Published: 26 July 2013

Will I benefit from assisted hatching?

Experts do not recommend the use of assisted hatching in all patients undergoing IVF treatments to conceive. Studies suggest that assisted hatching might help improve pregnancy chances for certain groups of patients. Assisted hatching may help improve pregnancy chances in women who have failed to get pregnant in previous IVF cycles and those with a poor prognosis (who are not likely to conceive).ASRM Fact Sheets & Info Booklets

DISCLAIMER and PROMISES

Infertility and the most advanced treatment modality for this ailment IVF require a meticulous planning and intensive protocol to follow.

Keeping in mind this reality, I as Dr V promise my patients :

1. To be in direct contact with them from the begining until the delivery of their babies

Through the process, a trusted hand to hold is very important. This person should be very close to you and you should have swift responses to your questions. Due mainy to high demand by the patients and low number of expert physicians in the field, this necessity is generally filled by some lay people.

When you dial, call or e-mail me, you know that the one responding you is the doctor who will guide your treatment. So, from the point zero on , every minute detail of your medical history which might seem trivial to uneducated eyes are taken into account so that the doctor does not become someone you see ,for the first time, a few minutes before your embryo transfer or some alien creature living on some other planet.

2. There is a principle called ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) for ultrasound scanning. In my opinion, this principle should be applied to IVF Treatment prices too.

We all know that IVF is an expensive treatment partly due to laboratory expenses and especially for third party reproductive requirements including but not limited to donor egg expenses, sperm expenses from the sperm banks, freezing and thawing gametes and embryos etc. But every country according to their financial norms have some minimum,median and maximum prices for IVF. These differences are mainly due to unseen profit margins not applicable to the treatment itself. There are sometimes add-on treatments which are marketed as super mighty treatments that can change a bad quality embryo to a grade AA top quality blastocyst or make the womb lining super receptive to the embryo to cause them attach instantly. Unfortunately, all these types of sayings are just not scientifically proven to be 100 % effective. We all like fairy tales but I believe eveybody only wants to hear the realities when it comes to their long waited IVF treatments, especially when they pay for the extra treatments which have just marginal or null effectivity.

3. Embryos formed in the laboratory of IVF Centers are always yours by the laws of North Cyprus.

You have the right to carry your frozen embryos from one clinic to another, discard them for divorce, separation or social reasons or just by choice. This right is granted neither by the clinic nor by the doctor-embryologist but you. Having a doctor affiliated with the IVF Clinic but not dependent on one clinic gives you the freedom to choose every clinic you would like to be as well as prevents the conflict of interest.

4. We never take commisions from the hotels or use this as a means of second business.

You are given possible stay durations in Cyprus best for the treatment and you will be asked to choose acording to your schedule.

5. I am open to and in service of every patient but those who might think that this is a cruise and take care more of the facilities rather than the treatment itself are more welcome to the other IVF business sites. The more complicated cases at the brink of giving up and looking for a different philosophy, those who are in need of a diagnosis rather than going through the same cycles of ivf and failure and those who care about hospitality , open communication and medical honesty will all be greeted with open arms.
