Lahjasolukonsultaatio ennen hoitoa

Before starting treatment with donated gametes, patients are referred for donor gamete counselling. This is a confidential discussion with a psychologist or therapist, offering a safe space to explore any questions, thoughts or emotions related to treatment with donated eggs or sperm.

During the counselling session, you will receive information and support, as well as an opportunity to discuss the aspects of donor treatment that are most relevant to your individual situation. The aim is to support you in considering your treatment options, help you process any emotions that may arise, and ensure that you have the information and understanding you need before starting treatment.

Donor gamete counselling can take place either at the clinic or remotely.

The child’s right to information

During donor gamete counselling, you will also receive information about the child’s right to learn about their genetic origins.

Once the child reaches adulthood, they have the right to find out the identity of the donor. Read more about gamete donation.
