Double Donation (Embryo Donation or Embryo Adoption)

Double Donation (also Embryo Donation or Embryo Adoption) means both donor egg and donor sperm are needed to create your pregnancy. This method can be used by single women or couples. 

What you need to know about usage of donor sperm in St. Petersburg and Cyprus is summed up below:

On each sperm donor’s page, you will typically see several quality options, such as IUI or ICI, and different motility (MOT) characteristics (e.g., MOT2, MOT5, MOT20). These details indicate how the sperm was prepared before freezing and its motility. Please note that these characteristics are specifically important for insemination treatments. If you are undergoing IVF or ICSI, they usually do not impact the success of the procedure. However, we recommend purchasing the sperm with MOT10+
to ensure the best yield of motile spermatozoa.

We recommend purchasing two portions of your selected donor sperm to ensure the same donor is available for potential subsequent treatment. However, one portion is sufficient for a single fertilization.

We ask you to make your choice at least two months prior to your Embryo Transfer. 

We assist you with shipment of your straws to the clinic in Cyprus from Cryos, European Sperm Bank, Donor Network bank in Denmark and many more.

  • In Cryos O.L.G.A. patients get a 10% discount on the sperm price and the shipment is done free of charge.
  • In European Sperm Bank O.L.G.A. patients get a 20% discount on the sperm price and the shipment cost is 100 EUR.
  • Donor Network bank also provides individual offers for our patients.

If you need to ship the sperm from any other sperm bank in the world — please contact us and we will help you with the task!

We will focus on diagnostics and individualized treatment of those inflammatory, hormonal, immune and other conditions that may impair implantation and lead to pregnancy losses. The goal is to increase live birth rates per each embryo transferred and reduce the potential number of embryo transfers till live birth by optimally preparing the uterus and the whole body for forthcoming embryo transfer.
