When a woman undergoes a portion of the IVF procedure in order to have some of her eggs retrieved, she can subsequently donate those eggs to help someone else with their treatment, research, or training. Women frequently donate their eggs to someone they know, like family members who might not be able to use their own eggs. Others give because it makes them happy to be able to assist a stranger in becoming a mother to a much-needed child. Some IVF patients opt to become egg sharers, donating some of their eggs to another patient in exchange for free or heavily subsidised IVF.

Egg donation is a fertility treatment in which a woman donates her eggs for another woman or couple to use in vitro fertilization (IVF). This process helps women who cannot produce viable eggs due to age, medical conditions, or other reasons. In Cyprus, egg donors are carefully screened and the treatments are carried out at modern clinics.
Donor anonymity is not guaranteed in Cyprus, waiting time varies from one cycle to another but generally takes around 2-3 months.
