Our Surrogacy Journey - British Couple
My husband and I had a great experience with Cyprus IVF Clinic, dealing with Unsal and his lovely wife Anastasia.
The clinic came recommended from friends in the U.K. who had used them for IVF only, but not surrogacy as well, but their recommendation gave us the confidence to go to Cyprus to start our surrogacy journey.
In September 2021 we flew out to meet with Unsal and his colleague Sahil who we had our initial zoom meeting with, just a couple of weeks earlier. The whole meeting went really well, we were able to choose our egg donor there and then and deposit our DNA. We only needed a few hours at the clinic and were able to enjoy the rest of our time as a mini break in Cyprus.
Within a few months our pregnancy was confirmed and in August 2022 our 2 beautiful twin daughters were born, at 38 weeks.
Throughout the process there were times where we felt very anxious. We didn’t know anyone else who had done this, and had to trust that everything would be ok, which it was. Unsal was always there for a phone call or a message to reassure us and answer any questions we had.
We returned to Cyprus in July 2022, a month before the due date just in case they came earlier. Once our girls were born we had to wait for a couple of months for the British Passport Office to issue passports. This was a bit of a painful process, and nothing to do with the clinic, it’s out of their hands. However, we did enjoy our time on the island, and spent half of the time in the south, after the girls were born.
I would definitely recommend this clinic, and always do to friends who are considering IVF and surrogacy. They have a great success rate and are all so lovely and welcoming.
