The success rate for egg donation treatment at Ovumia clinics exceeds 50% from the first embryo transfer.
Yes. Pregnancy outcomes are often comparable to those achieved with fresh embryo transfers and, in some situations, may even be better—particularly when the embryo quality is good and the uterine lining has been carefully prepared for the transfer.
Yes, most of our therapists offer sessions virtually. This is a good option if you live far away or you’d like a flexible schedule.
Yes! Ovumia’s laboratory director and experts are happy to answer questions and help you understand every step of the treatment path.
In most cases, yes, as long as it is delivered to the laboratory as instructed.
Yes, insemination is available using partner or donor sperm. In accordance with legislative requirements, all patients using donor gametes must undergo legally mandated counseling prior to commencing treatment
Yes. With the ROPA method, one partner provides the eggs (biological mother) and the other carries the pregnancy (birth mother). This allows both partners to participate in the process of creating and carrying the child in their own important way.
No fertility preservation method can guarantee pregnancy. However, freezing younger eggs or healthy sperm significantly increases your chances compared to relying on natural fertility later.
No. The examination is based on a semen sample and is completely painless.
The use of frozen embryos makes it possible to attempt pregnancy without undergoing a new cycle of ovarian hormone stimulation or egg retrieval.
Yes. Testosterone replacement therapy and anabolic steroids can severely reduce sperm production, sometimes to zero. We specialize in treating post-testosterone infertility.
We address erectile dysfunction specifically in the context of fertility and hormonal health. For general urinary or prostate issues, a urologist is the primary specialist, but we can help assess if hormonal imbalances are the cause.
Your doctor will determine the most suitable treatment method after a thorough consultation. During the initial consultation, we
assess possible factors for infertility and perform thorough a medical examination and ultrasound. For men, we recommend a semen analysis if one has never been performed or it has been done over a year ago.
The outcomes of fertility treatments and the health of children born through them are monitored worldwide. Studies have shown that children conceived through fertility treatments have certain structural abnormalities more frequently than those conceived naturally. The greatest risks are associated with severe male infertility, which may increase the risk of undescended testicles or structural abnormalities of the urethra in sons.
However, when comparing these data with couples who have been trying to conceive naturally for a long time, such differences do not appear. Therefore, the slightly increased risk is more likely related to the causes of infertility rather than the treatment itself.
The results reflect the current situation but is it recommended to repeat the examination every 6-12 months, if pregnancy has not been achieved.
The laboratory is responsible for egg processing, fertilization, embryo culture and transfer, ensuring safety and maximizing the chances of success.
Vitrification is a rapid freezing method that minimizes the formation of ice crystals and preserves the quality of the embryo better than traditional freezing.
Embryos can be stored frozen for several years. This makes it possible to plan the timing of embryo transfer flexibly to suit one’s personal life situation and family planning goals.
With modern freezing techniques and liquid nitrogen storage, sperm can be safely stored for many years.
Treatment duration depends on many factors and the woman/couple’s
prognosis. After the initial evaluation, we do our best to give a realistic
estimate on how many rounds of treatments may be necessary. Especially
with the light treatment methods (ovulation induction and
insemination), it’s important to understand that the treatment typically may need to be
repeated. With IVF, it may also take several cycles or embryo transfers
before a successful pregnancy is achieved.
Embryos can be safely stored for many years without a decrease in quality, allowing treatment to continue when the time is right.
The length of treatment varies individually. In successful cycles ovulation usually takes place between cycle days 10 and 18. Many women respond within the first few cycles, but it may take up to 4–6 cycles to achieve pregnancy. If ovulation does not occur or pregnancy has not been achieved within this time, your doctor may recommend other fertility treatment options.
Everyone’s situation is different. You may benefit from one or a few sessions but many benefit from a longer process. Your therapist will help assess what’s the best for you during the first appointment.
With vitrification and proper storage in liquid nitrogen, eggs and sperm can be safely stored for many years.
Up to 80–85% of our patients receive help from our fertility treatments. The success rate varies and depends mainly on the woman’s age. Our doctors choose treatment options based on your individual needs to maximize your chances of having a child.
Yes, at Ovumia’s egg and sperm bank, we make new life possible by offering high-quality treatments using donated eggs and sperm.
Insemination is typically repeated for 3–6 cycles, depending on individual circumstances such as age and fertility factors. If pregnancy does not occur after several attempts, your doctor may recommend other treatment options, such as IVF.
Yes. Because the ROPA method involves two female partners, donor sperm is always needed to fertilize the eggs.
No, insemination is usually quick and painless. The procedure takes only a few minutes. Most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately after the procedure.
No. While therapy and counseling services are an important tool for those going through treatment, our services are open to anyone – alone, as a couple, or as a family.
Yes. All conversations are strictly confidential and follow professional ethical standards.
Yes. Embryo freezing is a well-established and safe part of modern fertility treatment. With current freezing and thawing techniques, the majority of embryos remain viable, and the safety of the treatment is carefully monitored throughout the entire process.
If more good-quality embryos develop, they can be frozen for future use. These embryos can later be used for another pregnancy attempt without repeating the full treatment process.
This is called azoospermia. It does not always mean you cannot have biological children. We can investigate if sperm can be retrieved directly from the testicular tissue (TESE) or if hormonal treatment can restore production.
Success depends on several factors, including age, overall health, and the cause of ovulation problems. If ovulation is the main fertility issue and no other conditions are present, success rates are high. Your doctor will discuss your personal chances after an individual medical evaluation.
In Finland, there is no legal age limit for fertility treatments. At Ovumia clinics in Finland, we treat women under the age of 47. At
our Ovumia Nova Vita clinic in Tallinn, we treat women under the age of 51.
In treatments using your own gametes, the patient’s own eggs and/or partner’s sperm are used, and the success depends on their quality.
In donor gamete treatment, the eggs or sperm come from a donor — this option is chosen when pregnancy with one’s own gametes is not possible or the chances of success are very low.
Ovumia is a pioneer in donor gamete treatments and performs over 70% of all egg donation treatments (IVF, in vitro fertilisation) in Finland.
Embryo diagnostics helps to identify chromosomal abnormalities and hereditary diseases in individual embryos. It is recommended, for example, for couples with known hereditary diseases or recurrent miscarriages.
Implantation is when an embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus and pregnancy begins. Successful implantation requires both a well-developed embryo and a uterine lining that is in the correct developmental phase and receptive to the embryo.
The success rate for egg donation treatment at Ovumia clinics exceeds 50% from the first embryo transfer.
Yes, ovulation induction is a safe and well-established treatment when carefully monitored by a fertility specialist. Ultrasound follow-ups help ensure that the ovaries respond appropriately and reduce the risk of complications, such as multiple pregnancies.
If pregnancy hasn’t occurred after six months of regular trying, it’s a good idea to schedule fertility testing.
Embryo freezing is suitable for couples and single women trying to conceive who want to transfer an embryo later, for example due to work or life circumstances, or if treatment is interrupted for medical reasons, for example.
Even when an embryo is chromosomally normal and of good morphologial quality, implantation does not always occur. Several factors may affect this process, including quality of the uterine lining, hormonal factors, or certain immunological influences. Often, implantation failure results from a combination of factors, and a single clear cause cannot always be identified.
The ideal time is before age 30 for the highest egg quality, but freezing in your early 30s still greatly improves future chances compared to trying to conceive later in life.
Yes. In most cases, success rates using frozen sperm are very similar to those using fresh sperm, especially with advanced techniques like IVF/ICSI.
Yes. Donors have the right to withdraw up to a certain stage — this is clearly outlined in the treatment agreements.
According to Finnish fertility treatment law, donors are reimbursed for expenses caused by the donation (daily allowance and travel costs) and receive compensation for any inconvenience. Medications and examinations required for the process are covered by the clinic. Donors also receive valuable information about their own fertility. However, the most important reason to donate is the desire to help, and the greatest reward is the beginning of a new life.
Yes, you can revoke your donation but without an effect on the treatments in which your sperm was already used for fertilization. It is not possible to revoke use of embryos that were created with sperm donated by you. A sperm donor can restrict the use of sperm for example to allow only treatments of couples or for treatment of a disease.
Yeast infections are common and usually caused by Candida albicans, a naturally occurring fungus that has overgrown. Typical symptoms include itching, burning, and thick white discharge, though it can sometimes be grey or watery, with redness on the external genitalia. Itching does not always mean yeast infection—only about half of cases are due to yeast. If you have had a yeast infection before, you may self-treat, but recurring infections need medical evaluation to identify underlying causes, such as certain medications or dry mucosa.
Most donors undergo stimulation and egg retrieval without complications. A small number may experience mild side effects from the hormone treatment. The ovaries temporarily enlarge during stimulation, which can cause mild lower-abdominal pressure or bloating.
During egg retrieval, IV medication is used to minimize discomfort. Complications are rare, and any potential risks are reviewed thoroughly with the doctor during treatment planning.
No. Healthy men continuously produce sperm, so donating does not affect their ability to have children. Egg donation also does not reduce a woman’s fertility. The treatment involves retrieving maturing eggs that would naturally be lost during the cycle — in other words, the process saves eggs that would otherwise degenerate.
No test can guarantee a baby, but PGT enables us to identify the embryos with the best potential to start a pregnancy leading to delivery. It prevents us from transferring embryos that would inevitably fail, saving your time, money, and emotional distress.
Results from PGT-A and PGT-SR are typically available within 10–15 days after the testing laboratory has received the samples. Results from PGT-M are usually available within approximately 30 days.
Recovery is typically quick. Most people are able to return to work and normal activities within 1-2 days. We recommend avoiding heavy exercise and lifting for about a week to ensure healing and avoid unnecessary bruising.
The need for routine check-ups is individual. You can discuss the recommended timeline with your gynecologist. Any unusual or new symptoms are always a reason to book an appointment promptly.
Ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval may cause mild discomfort or tenderness, but our care team supports you throughout the process, relieving discomfort and minimizing risks. Many egg donors are pleasantly surprised by how easy the process feels and how mild the retrieval-related pain typically is.
Yes. In good-quality embryos, the risk associated with biopsy is very low. The sample is taken at the blastocyst stage from the outer cells of the embryo (the trophectoderm), which later develops into the placenta and other supporting structures of pregnancy. The fetus itself develops from the inner cell mass of the embryo, which is not affected by the biopsy.
If an embryo has an unusually low number of outer cells, taking a biopsy may in some cases affect its viability. For this reason, we always assess individually whether a biopsy is appropriate for each embryo.
We also offer non-invasive PGT-A, which is a newer method. In this approach, DNA released by the embryo into the culture medium is analysed, meaning that no cell sample needs to be taken from the embryo itself.
According to the currently valid Act on Assisted Fertility Treatments, every gamete donor is entered in a register maintained by a public authority, so that a child who may have been born from a donated gamete can, when they turn 18 years of age, obtain information about the donor’s identity from the National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health. However, a person who has donated gametes does not have any rights or obligations as regards the child.
The identity of the donor will not be revealed to the couple who receive their gametes. They will only be told about the donor’s outward appearance, such as height, the colour of their hair and eyes, and their ethnic background. The same donor’s gametes can be used for providing children to no more than five different families. Each donation event is assessed separately. You can withdraw from the donation process without explanation at any time before the embryo transfer.
Donation of gametes is regulated by the Act on Fertility Treatments. Every donor is registered in national registry.
According to the Act on Fertility Treatments, a child born after the use of donated sperm, once turned 18 years, is entitled to know donor`s identity. The donor has no legal rights or obligations towards the child. The parents of the child are supported to openly share with the child his/her genetic origin. The parents of the child do not have the right to know the donor´s identity.
A Pap test screens for cervical cancer and its precursors by collecting cells from the cervix with a small brush. The procedure is usually painless, though mild spotting may occur afterward. In Finland, women aged 30–65 are invited for screening every five years unless there is a medical reason for more frequent testing. A reflex Pap test, which first checks for high-risk HPV, may be used for more accurate detection. If you have gynecological symptoms, you can book a Pap test at any time.
If the azoospermia is due to blockage (such as vasectomy), the probability of finding sperm is excellent (over 90%). If there are other underlying causes, we will discuss a backup plan with you – such as using donated sperm – in advance so that you are not left with nothing.
According to Finnish fertility treatment law, donors are compensated for expenses such as daily allowances, travel costs, and receive a €350 inconvenience allowance.
The most meaningful reward, however, is the chance to help create a new life.
No the testosterone levels are not affected. In TESA we only take a microscopic amount of tissue. It has no effect on your hormone balance, testosterone levels, sexual desire, or normal testicular function.
You get compensation for each donation visit as regulated by the Finnish legislation. The most valuable reward, however, is the knowledge that by donating you can help those hoping to have a child and to achieve the parenthood they have long awaited.
Most men are pleasantly surprised by the ease of the procedure. We use effective local anaesthesia. You may feel a pinch or pressure, but actual pain is rare. Any soreness after the procedure can be treated with standard painkillers.
Chromosomal abnormalities in embryos are a natural part of human biology. Even in young, fertile women, some embryos have an abnormal chromosomal content. With increasing age, chromosomal abnormalities become more common, and the proportion of abnormal embryos increases. Errors in chromosome number arise primarily during oocyte development. However, they can also occur after fertilisation during the embryo’s early cell divisions, or more rarely during sperm development.
Our clinic follows strict data protection and confidentiality practices. Donor identity is carefully protected, and information is used only in appropriate and legally required contexts. In Finland, the details of all gamete donors are registered, and any child born from the treatment has the right to receive the donor’s identity upon reaching the age of 18.
Yes – often.
Sperm development takes about three months, which means improvements become visible only after some time.
A positive effect can be seen from:
a healthy diet and maintaining a normal weight
regular physical activity
sufficient sleep
reduced alcohol consumption
quitting cigarettes, snus, and other nicotine products
avoiding doping substances, testosterone supplements, and anabolic steroids
(which severely impair sperm production)
Our specialists will help you identify the next steps — whether medical treatment or fertility support is needed.
Insemination can, in certain situations, be used for heterosexual couples, but it is not a common or first-line treatment.
IUI may be considered in specific cases, for example:
mildly reduced sperm motility
unexplained infertility after evaluation
difficulties with sexual intercourse
use of previously frozen sperm
retrograde ejaculation in selected cases
Because the chance of pregnancy per IUI attempt is relatively low for heterosexual couples, IVF is often recommended when the goal is to optimize the chances of achieving pregnancy.
The best thing you can do is live a normal, healthy life. Avoid heavy physical exertion, extreme heat (like saunas), and stress as much as possible. Most importantly, do not stop your supportive medications (like progesterone) until your doctor explicitly tells you to do so, regardless of any bleeding or early test results.
Yes, provided that there is a diagnosed medical reason for the infertility and the woman undergoing treatment is under 43 years of age. At Ovumia, this is deducted directly at the checkout.
Yes. While endometriosis can make getting pregnant more difficult, many patients conceive naturally, and for those who do not, modern fertility treatments like IVF offer excellent success rates.
Yes. In the long term, the overall chance of having a child is similar for women with PCOS as for those without it. About half of women with PCOS conceive without medical treatment, although it may take longer.
Treatments involving donor gametes and treatments where there is no medically diagnosed infertility are generally not covered by Kela reimbursement. A doctor’s assessment and a case-by-case evaluation are required. Reimbursement must be applied for separately from Kela, and the necessary application forms can be obtained from the clinic.
Yes, the age limit for infertility treatment at Ovumia Finland is 46 years.
Yes. In Sweden, a person conceived through donor treatment has the right, once they reach adulthood, to obtain information about the donor’s identity.
Yes. Donated eggs and sperm can be used in fertility treatments in Finland in accordance with Finnish legislation. Children born from donor treatment have the right to obtain identifying information about the donor at the age of 18.
Unfortunately, endometriosis cannot be prevented. However, treatment with contraceptives or hormones that discontinue the menstrual bleedings can slow its progression and alleviate the symptoms of the disease. In addition, it is known that women with endometriosis who become pregnant experience a significant improvement in their clinical condition.
Yes. In Finland, fertility treatments are available for different family types, including single women and female couples.
According to Finnish law, gamete donation is non-anonymous to the child. This means that a child born from a donated gamete has the right to find out the identity of the donor upon turning 18. However, the donor has no rights or obligations toward the child, and the recipient parents do not receive identifying information about the donor.
Sometimes treatment is successful on the first try; in other cases, several attempts are needed. Factors influencing success include age, preparation of the uterine lining and individual circumstances. Overall, donor treatments offer many patients excellent chances of pregnancy. We provide a realistic assessment of your starting point and explain how we can support the best possible outcome. It is encouraging to know that at Ovumia’s clinics, the success rate of donor egg treatment exceeds 50% already on the first attempt.
No. The treatment path is always tailored to your medical situation. If the woman is older, if the sperm quality is significantly reduced, or if the fallopian tubes are blocked, we will recommend moving straight to IVF to save you time and money.
Ovumia uses the direct reimbursement system, meaning the Kela reimbursement is deducted directly from your invoice. In this case, remember to bring your Kela card. Otherwise, reimbursement is applied for via the OmaKela service.
Not necessarily. Some initial discussions or treatment planning steps may be handled remotely, but you will need to travel to Finland for appointments and procedures that must take place at the clinic such as producing fresh sperm sample and embryo transfer.
Kela (the Finnish Social Insurance Institution) bases its reimbursements on medical diagnoses. If you are seeking treatment solely because you do not have a male partner, Kela does not currently reimburse the costs. However, if our initial examinations uncover an underlying medical issue causing infertility (such as PCOS or endometriosis), Kela reimbursements apply.
Various medications are used during IVF treatment. Your attending physician will prescribe the appropriate medications for you.
Medications may be administered as injections, nasal sprays, tablets, or vaginal suppositories. One of our midwives will provide you with detailed instructions on how to use your prescribed medications.
Yes. The chance of miscarriage increases with age, mainly because the likelihood of chromosomal errors rises.
No. While NIPT is excellent for genetic screening, an ultrasound is necessary to confirm the viability of the pregnancy, the number of fetuses, and physical structural development. We often recommend combining an early ultrasound with the NIPT test for a complete picture.
Current research on the direct relationship between ferritin levels and fertility is limited. Some studies suggest that iron supplementation may reduce infertility related to ovulation disorders in selected cases. However, this effect is not universal, and other nutrients—such as folate—may play a more significant role in reproductive health for many patients.
Miscarriage (early pregnancy loss) is common, occurring in about 10% of clinically recognized pregnancies. The most frequent cause is chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, which usually happen by chance during fertilisation and early development.
Send a question to our international patient coordinator or directly book a consultation here.
PMOS can affect fertility mainly through irregular or absent ovulation. Without regular ovulation, becoming pregnant may take longer. However, many people with PMOS conceive naturally, and effective treatments are available to support ovulation when needed.
Before egg freezing, ovulation is stimulated with hormone treatment for approximately two weeks. After the treatment, the eggs are retrieved.
PMOS is diagnosed based on a combination of menstrual cycle history, ultrasound examination, and hormone testing. Blood tests are used to assess hormone levels and to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as thyroid disorders or elevated prolactin levels. A diagnosis is made based on overall findings, not a single test.
There is no single treatment that suits everyone with PMOS. Care is tailored to individual symptoms and life goals. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, hormonal treatments to regulate the menstrual cycle or medications to support ovulation.
There is no specific test to detect endometriosis, but it can be suspected through symptoms and a physical examination. In some cases, an imaging test (ultrasound or MRI) may be helpful. The only way to know for sure if you have endometriosis is to remove endometrial tissue through surgery and analyze it.
Donors are carefully screened from Ovumia’s own gamete bank. During your consultations, we discuss which donor information can be considered (such as physical characteristics) and how the selection process works in practice. You will always receive up‑to‑date information about availability and next steps.
The amount varies depending on the type of treatment and the number of examinations required. Typically, the patient’s share for IVF treatment at a private clinic amounts to several thousand euros. At Ovumia, you will receive an accurate cost estimate as part of your treatment plan after Kela reimbursement.
For example:
Standard IVF treatment starts from €2,461 after Kela reimbursement
ICSI treatment starts from €2,924 after Kela reimbursement
In addition, the cost of a 60-minute initial consultation is usually added; after reimbursement, this is €119. If frozen embryo transfers are needed, these are charged separately according to the price list.
The amount varies depending on the type of treatment and the procedures performed. For example, part of a gynaecologist’s consultation and certain examinations are reimbursed at a fixed rate. In IVF and ICSI treatments, Kela covers only part of the total cost.
Typically, the reimbursement covers around 25–40% of the treatment costs. At Ovumia, you will always receive an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs after Kela reimbursement in advance.
The price consists of the gynecologist's appointment fee and the ultrasound equipment fee. You can find the exact, up-to-date pricing on our Price List page. Please note that Kela reimbursements may apply if the scan is medically indicated (e.g., due to pain or bleeding).
Treatment can often begin within approximately 2–4 months of the initial appointment. The timeline depends on your individual situation, required examinations and donor availability. Our aim is always to ensure smooth and timely progress. You may also attend the initial appointment solely to explore options, without committing to treatment.
You can start almost immediately. Because we utilize our own sperm bank, there are no waiting lists. Once the initial check-up is done and a donor is selected, treatment can often begin with your next menstrual cycle.
After egg retrieval and hormonal stimulation, the ovaries need time to rest and recover. From a medical perspective, a new treatment cycle should not be started with the first bleeding after treatment. Instead, it is recommended to wait until the next menstrual period. In addition to physical recovery, it is also important to be mentally prepared for another IVF cycle, as each treatment brings new expectations.
Surgery should be considered when chronic pelvic pain does not improve with medical treatment, when there are large endometriomas, and when endometriotic implants compromise the proper functioning of other organs such as the intestines or bladder. In some cases, surgery is performed to improve reproductive prognosis.
The aftereffects of surgery largely depend on which pelvic structures are affected and on the stage of the disease. Chronic pain may persist, genitourinary and intestinal injuries secondary to surgery may occur, or abdominal adhesions may develop (certain tissues or organs stick to each other).
Yes, but only when IVF is based on a medically diagnosed cause of infertility. Kela does not cover the full cost of IVF treatment; part of the expenses remains the patient’s responsibility. Typically, the reimbursement share is around 25–40%.
Yes. PGT is allowed, sex selection is allowed only for medical reasons.
If fertility treatment is based on a medical reason, Kela reimbursement may be possible. If treatment is provided without a medically diagnosed infertility (e.g. a wish to have a child using donor gametes only), Kela generally does not reimburse the treatment.
Treatments involving donor gametes are not eligible for direct reimbursement, but reimbursement can be applied for separately from Kela.
Yes, though adenomyosis can sometimes weaken embryo implantation. We optimize your chances by carefully preparing the uterine lining hormonally before any embryo transfer.
Donor treatments are well‑established and thoroughly researched. Safety is ensured through comprehensive examinations, screenings and individualised planning. We also review general pregnancy‑related risks and follow‑up with you.
During egg retrieval, you will receive intravenous medication to help minimize pain and help you relax. Most donors describe the procedure as tolerable.
Endometriosis is a chronic benign disease that depends on hormones (estrogens). It is associated with a slight increase in the risk of certain types of ovarian cancer. This risk is significantly reduced with contraceptive treatment. No reliable diagnostic tests are available.
No. Reimbursement requires a documented medical diagnosis causing infertility. If treatments are carried out solely due to social reasons or the lack of a partner, Kela funding does not apply unless a medical issue is discovered during examinations.
Yes, if infertility is caused by a medical condition and the treatment has been prescribed or provided by a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology. Kela reimburses part of the cost of private fertility treatments in accordance with Kela’s tariffs.
Direct reimbursement is possible for up to three treatment cycles (IVF/ICSI), including frozen embryo transfers. After this, reimbursement eligibility is assessed individually for each case.
Simply trying to conceive for one year does not automatically qualify for reimbursement. A doctor’s medical assessment and diagnosis of infertility are required. Even if the cause of infertility remains partly unknown, the treatment may still be considered medically necessary care.
Medically necessary care is treatment that can be assessed in advance as being effective. Such treatment is reimbursable if other criteria (such as age) are met.
No. Surrogacy is not permitted; the woman who gives birth is the legal mother.
If hemoglobin is normal, we generally do not recommend routine ferritin testing or iron medication as a first step. It is crucial that the start of fertility treatments is not delayed due to treating subclinical iron deficiency unless there is a clear medical justification.
The prognosis is excellent. Because the eggs come from young, fertile donors, the success rates are generally higher than standard IVF, often exceeding 60% per embryo transfer, and the cumulative pregnancy rate over multiple transfers is even higher.
Work
There are no restrictions on working while undergoing IVF treatment. However, we recommend taking the day off on the day of egg retrieval.
Exercise
Light physical activity after egg retrieval or embryo transfer is beneficial. However, we recommend avoiding heavy lifting and high-impact exercise involving jumping or jolting movements.
Sex
We recommend abstaining from sexual intercourse the day before the ovulation trigger injection and for two weeks after egg retrieval, as there is a risk of infection.
Bathing
You are advised to avoid bathing for up to two weeks after egg retrieval due to the risk of infection.
A doctor’s statement, the treatment invoice, and payment receipts. Ovumia’s staff will assist with the application if needed.
A clinical statement from a doctor, the invoice from the treatment provider, and proof of payment. Ovumia’s reception staff will assist you with the reimbursement application or deduct the reimbursement directly from your invoice (direct reimbursement).
Treatment costs depend on the selected treatment type and your individual plan. We review pricing clearly during the initial appointment so that you understand the total costs before making a decision.
It refers to a condition where pregnancy does not begin due to a disease or dysfunction, such as:
The NIPT is a highly accurate screening test, but it is not a diagnostic test. If the results indicate a high risk of a chromosomal abnormality, the finding must always be confirmed with an invasive diagnostic test, such as an amniocentesis. Our medical team will support and guide you through every step if this occurs.
If the test is positive, congratulations! You will inform your Ovumia clinic, and we will schedule an Early Pregnancy Ultrasound (typically around gestational week 7) to confirm the heartbeat and location of the pregnancy.
If you experience severe lower abdominal pain or heavy bleeding, you should seek medical evaluation immediately, as these can be signs of an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage. In such cases, an ultrasound is performed to assess the situation regardless of the exact week.
If pregnancy does not occur on the first attempt, we will plan the next steps together. We review what can be adjusted and how the chances of success can be improved in future treatments.
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS; previously named PCOS) is a common hormonal condition affecting people of reproductive age. It is associated with irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalance, and changes in ovarian function. PCOS is a long-term condition, but with the right care, symptoms can be managed effectively.
Rather than aiming for a specific number, most clinicians consider it sufficient that ferritin and hemoglobin levels are within the laboratory reference range. Iron supplementation should be individualized and based on confirmed deficiency or clinical symptoms.
Primary infertility affects couples who have never achieved pregnancy. Secondary infertility occurs after having had at least one child.
The most significant development in recent years is that surgical indications have become increasingly limited. This helps preserve ovarian function and fertility in patients affected by the disease, since surgery greatly impacts ovarian reserve.
There is still a long way to go to fully understand this disease and thereby improve its treatment and prognosis.
Common symptoms include irregular or absent periods, ovulation disturbances, acne, increased hair growth on the face or body, hair thinning, and weight changes. Some people experience only mild symptoms, while others may notice more significant effects.
A medical evaluation is recommended if your periods are absent, your cycle is consistently longer than 35 days for more than six months, or if you experience a rapid or pronounced increase in hair growth or acne.
Yes. While endometriosis can make getting pregnant more difficult, many patients conceive naturally and for those who do not, modern fertility treatments such as IVF offer excellent success rates.
You are not alone in making this decision. We provide time for questions and allow you to proceed at your own pace. If needed, we can also refer you for additional counselling support. Many find it helpful to review options and the treatment pathway calmly and step by step.
Our price list shows the patient’s out-of-pocket share for each visit or treatment package. At Ovumia, you will also receive a detailed breakdown of treatment costs during your visit.
Kela may reimburse gynaecologist appointments, infertility examinations and treatments, follicle ultrasounds, and doctor-prescribed tests, assessed in accordance with Kela’s rules.
The fact that egg freezing is available today means that we can help women and couples who wish or need to postpone pregnancy in a completely new way. There are several reasons for preserving unfertilized eggs through freezing.
If there is an increased risk of early menopause, for example as a result of cancer treatment or another illness.
If a woman needs to undergo medical or surgical treatment that makes postponing childbirth necessary.
If there is a social situation in which pregnancy is not currently possible, but having children in the future is desired.
You are likely eligible if infertility is due to a medical reason, the treatment has been prescribed by a specialist, and you are under 43 years of age. The treatment must be medically justified. Please remember to bring your Kela card with you for direct reimbursement.
New egg donors are needed continuously, as there is an ongoing shortage of donated eggs. For many people seeking fertility treatment, a donated egg may be the only possible path to having a child.
It depends on the procedure. With direct reimbursement, you receive the benefit immediately by paying only your out-of-pocket share. When applying via OmaKela, reimbursement is usually paid within a few weeks.
Egg donation does not affect your own fertility. Donating eggs does not reduce the number of eggs you have, as the number of eggs decreases gradually over time regardless of donation, hormone treatment, or egg retrieval.
The donor’s identity is kept carefully confidential from the person receiving treatment. However, in Finland, a child born through donated gametes has the right, once they turn 18, to receive the donor’s identifying information.
