Gender selection - Cyprus?

I am thinking about gender selection in Cyprus. Can anyone share thoughts on cost and clinics? Could egg harvesting and embryo creation be done in the UK?

My concern with northern Cyprus is that there doesn’t seem to be any laws on max child per donar. Laws seem less strict than the UK?

Thanks for your reply.

At the present time I’m more worried about the legal and potentially moral risks of using donor sperm in North Cyprus.

How do I know my embryos won’t be used elsewhere by accident or because somewhere in the small print it’s legal in northern Cyprus?

In the uk a donor can donate to max 10 families. What are the laws in northern Cyprus.

How do I know the sperm used is actually from the donor I pick?

These are the questions in mind at present

thanks for getting back to me

hello the clinic should be able to give you most of this information. As for your embryos being used elsewhere by accident it would be about trust. They could get used here by accident also. When we chose a clinic we visited a few and got a feel for the place and the doctor xxx

Hello I have no problems at all going to North Cyprus for IVF. Gender selection comes with the procedure if you want it. I just came from there and I'm currently in my TWW. I will know the result on my OTD on May 6. The clinic I went to was very good. PM me for details.

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. If you’re willing to share the clinic you used that’d be great. I’m only really considering gender selection because I’m worried about raising a boy as a single female with no brothers and a very old dad.

Best say there is no laws at all, as North Cyprus is not a lawfully recognised country. I wouldnt go there
