Moving from public fertility care to a private fertility clinic may raise many thoughts and questions. At Ovumia, we want to make this transition feel as clear and reassuring as possible. In most cases, the treatment process does not need to start from the beginning, as previous examinations and treatment information can be taken into account as part of your individual treatment planning.
Yes, you can. Moving from public fertility care to Ovumia is possible at any stage of your treatment journey and the decision does not mean that the work already done would go to waste. Many of our patients come to Ovumia due to of long waiting times, age limits in public fertility care, such as the age limit of 40 years, or because they wish to proceed with treatment on a more individual schedule. You may also wish to discuss your situation in a calm setting, receive a second medical opinion, or continue treatment at a pace that better fits your life situation.
No. In most cases, all examinations carried out in public fertility care, laboratory results such as semen analysis and blood tests, and other fertility treatment investigations can be used at Ovumia, provided that they are still up to date. This allows us to consider the work already done and plan the next steps of your treatment individually according to your situation.
Previous examinations and treatment information: Request your patient records, examination results and any treatment summaries from public healthcare before your first appointment. You can also give our specialists permission to review your treatment history through the Kanta service.
Savings in time and costs: When up-to-date examinations do not need to be repeated, we can often move forward more smoothly with your treatment plan and, when needed, with the treatments themselves.
In private fertility care, it is usually possible to proceed with fertility treatments without long waiting times. This may be especially important if your life situation, age or previous treatment history affects the schedule on which you wish to continue.
The same also applies to treatments using donor gametes, such as donor sperm and donor egg treatments, for which there may be long waiting lists in public healthcare. At Ovumia, our own egg and sperm bank makes it possible to assess the availability of a suitable donor and the start of treatment flexibly, often within a shorter timeframe.
During the first appointment, we will review your situation carefully and plan what kind of path forward may be possible for you.
Request your previous infertility examination documents and treatment summaries from MyKanta or the hospital.
Book a first appointment on our website and select First appointment with a fertility specialist as the category. The first appointment can also be carried out remotely without an ultrasound examination.
Send your previous treatment information to us well before the appointment or bring the documents with you to your first appointment. You can also give our doctor permission to review your information through the Kanta service. If needed, our clinic can provide you with a secure link for sending the documents. This allows the doctor to familiarise themselves with your situation in advance and plan the continuation of treatment while taking previous examinations into account.
If you are unsure about proceeding with treatment, you can also book a free consultation with a nurse, lasting up to 20 minutes, via our website to discuss your situation.
The cost of fertility treatments varies depending on which treatment path is most suitable for your situation. At Ovumia, all treatments are planned according to the patient’s individual needs, previous examinations, treatment history and life situation.
During the first appointment, the doctor will discuss the possible treatment options and the related costs with you, so that you have as clear an understanding as possible of what the price of treatment consists of.
If you are considering moving from public fertility care to Ovumia, you do not need to know in advance which treatment path would be right for you or from which stage it may be possible to continue.
During your first visit, we will review your situation together, go through your previous examinations and treatment information, and plan the next steps individually according to your needs. Our aim is that after the appointment, you will have a clearer understanding of the options available to you and how we can support you in moving forward at your own pace.
