Some patients may produce more embryos (fertilized eggs) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) than they require. The additional embryos could be cryopreserved (frozen) in order to transplant them at a later time. These embryos, however, might not always be put to use. These patients can choose to have their embryos discarded, given to research, or given to another woman to help her conceive.

Embryo donation is a process in which couples or individuals accept the use of an embryo created by another couple or donor for the purpose of achieving a pregnancy. In Cyprus, this treatment is regulated by law and carried out in accredited clinics.
Cyprus has a well-developed healthcare system with modern facilities and highly trained medical professionals. The waiting time for embryo donation varies but can range from 3 to 6 months.
