Some patients face low ovarian reserve or a poor response to stimulation. In these scenarios, clinics may suggest ovarian rejuvenation as an experimental option that could enhance follicle activity. Cyprus offers modern labs and experienced teams, which means you receive structured protocols and clear counselling from the outset.

🧬 What Is Ovarian Rejuvenation?

Ovarian rejuvenation describes procedures that deliver biologically active agents into the ovaries to stimulate dormant follicles. Specialists use either platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) prepared from your own blood or, in select research settings, stem‑cell–derived products. The goal is simple: improve the ovary’s micro‑environment so it can recruit better follicles for IVF.

🧪 Methods Used in Cyprus

• PRP intra‑ovarian injection: clinicians concentrate growth factors from your blood and inject them into the ovarian cortex under ultrasound guidance.
• Adjunct protocols: clinics may combine PRP with DHEA, CoQ10, vitamin D, or tailored stimulation to support folliculogenesis.
• Investigational approaches: some centers evaluate stem‑cell–based strategies within strict research frameworks.

👥 Who Should Consider It?

• Patients with diminished ovarian reserve (AMH/Antral Follicle Count on the lower side).
• Previous poor response to stimulation or cancelled cycles.
• Women in their late 30s or 40s seeking one more attempt with their own oocytes.
• Those who wish to try an option before moving to egg donation in Cyprus.

🗺️ Step‑by‑Step Process

1. Assessment: the team reviews history, AMH/AFC, and previous IVF cycles; you discuss expectations and alternatives.
2. PRP preparation: staff draw your blood and spin it to concentrate growth factors.
3. Injection: the doctor injects PRP into each ovary under ultrasound; local anaesthesia or sedation keeps you comfortable.
4. Follow‑up: after 4–8 weeks, scanning and blood tests track response; the clinic plans stimulation accordingly.
5. IVF cycle: stimulation begins; the team adjusts doses based on follicular growth.

🌟 Potential Benefits & Important Limits

• Some patients report higher follicle numbers or improved egg quality in the next cycle.
• Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of immunologic reaction remains low.
• However, results vary and success is not guaranteed; outcomes depend on age, reserve, and overall health.

⚠️ Risks & Safety

• Mild pelvic discomfort, spotting, or temporary bloating after injection.
• Very small risk of infection or injury; clinics follow sterile technique and ultrasound guidance.
• Since this is still evolving, long‑term evidence is limited; discuss alternatives and probabilities in detail. For an overview of ART in general, the CDC ART resource is helpful.

💰 Costs of Ovarian Rejuvenation in Cyprus

Pricing depends on protocol and clinic. Typically, ovarian rejuvenation in Cyprus costs $900–$2,000 for PRP (procedure only), while the subsequent IVF cycle is priced separately. Packages sometimes include monitoring and a follow‑up scan.
