ROPA
Technique

Are you a same-sex female couple?
Are you thinking about building a family together?

The ROPA (Reception of Oocytes from Partner) method offers an IVF treatment that allows both partners to actively share in the process of creating a family. One partner donates her oocytes (eggs), while the other carries the pregnancy, enabling both to participate equally in the journey to parenthood.

Our state-of-the-art fertility clinic uses advanced technologies and provides personalized care. Sperm donation options are available from our personal bank or a bank of your choice.

Visit our clinic to meet our specialists, create your tailored medical protocol, and prepare for your journey to parenthood. Together, we’ll help you achieve your dream.

In what circumstances is ROPA recommended?

Same-sex female couples that want to share parenthood and become active participants in the reproductive process, either because they want to or because one of the partners has a medical condition, can opt for ROPA. This may include:

Changes in oocyte quality
The absence of one’s own oocytes
Ovarian insufficiency or severe dysfunction
Any sickness has a chance of being passed down through the generations.
Genetic or chromosomal anomalies
Failures of previous fertility procedures

How we do it?

Explanation

The ROPA is distinguished by the active participation of both women in the IVF process. The genetic mother of the born child will be one of them, while the gestational mother will be the other.

Why we are the best

All of our procedures are carried out at our state of the art fertility clinic, which employs the most cutting-edge technologies and a highly competent and devoted team. Our knowledgeable coordinators will be with you every step of the way to ensure your safety and comfort.

Donors from our personal donor bank as well as any bank of your choice are available for sperm donation. We welcome you to come to our clinic, meet our team, and speak with our head specialist about your specific medical needs.

This will allow you both to be prepared for your upcoming trip to Cyprus, where one of you will be “donating” eggs while the other prepares her womb to accept the embryos skilfully fertilised in our lab. Then it’s only a matter of waiting for a positive result or trying again till you get pregnant.

Pharmacological Treatment and Procedure

The oocyte donor undergoes ovarian stimulation to develop multiple follicles, monitored via ultrasound and hormonal blood tests. Mature oocytes are retrieved once the follicles reach the desired size, in a 15-minute procedure performed under anesthesia.

Sperm Preparation

Cryopreserved sperm from an anonymous donor is thawed and prepared in the lab to select the best cells for fertilization.

Sperm Preparation

The selected sperm and oocytes are fertilized in an incubator. Simultaneously, the recipient receives hormonal treatment with estrogen and progesterone to prepare the uterus for implantation. Once the endometrial lining is optimal, the best-quality embryo is transferred to the uterus in a quick, anesthesia-free procedure. A beta-hCG test is conducted 15 days post-transfer to confirm pregnancy.
