When the dream of a child cannot be realised using your own gametes, donor treatments offer hope and a well established path towards pregnancy and parenthood.
At Ovumia, we have extensive experience in donor treatments – reflected in our excellent treatment outcomes. We support you in choosing the treatment option that best suits your individual situation.
At Ovumia’s clinics, the success rate of donor egg treatment exceeds 50% already during the first treatment cycle.
Donor treatments involve the use of donated eggs and/or sperm to enable pregnancy. Each treatment plan is always individualised and may be carried out, depending on your situation, as insemination or in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Donor egg treatment is a fertility treatment in which eggs from a young, healthy donor are used when a patient’s own eggs are not of sufficient quality. The donated egg is fertilised, and the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus.
Treatments using donated sperm refer to fertility treatments in which sperm from a volunteer donor who has been carefully screened is used. Donated sperm may be used in insemination or IVF treatment.
When neither eggs nor sperm can be used, full donation may be the only way to fulfil the dream of starting a family. In full donation, both the egg and the sperm are obtained from donors.
Donor treatments are considered when achieving pregnancy using one’s own gametes is unlikely or not possible. Underlying reasons may include age related decline in fertility, repeated unsuccessful treatments, genetic disease risk, or significantly reduced sperm or egg quality.
Typical situations where donor gametes may be needed include:
Donor treatments often involve many thoughts, hopes and questions. At Ovumia, we proceed at your pace: you receive clear information about your options, time to make decisions, and, if needed, support in processing the many emotions that can arise.
The first step is a consultation with a fertility doctor. During the appointment, the medical prerequisites for treatment, the treatment process and prognosis are reviewed. You are encouraged to ask questions and discuss your individual situation in detail. You may also attend the initial appointment simply to explore your options, without committing to treatment.
After the counselling session, the recipient meets with a Midwife to discuss donor selection, the treatment pathway and scheduling. The Midwife will contact you once a suitable donor has been identified.
Once a donor has been found, the doctor creates an individualised treatment plan. During this appointment, you will receive information about the required medication and treatment timeline. Our midwifes provide detailed instructions and guidance on medication use.
Following treatment planning, treatment can begin according to your personalised plan.
At Ovumia, you can access treatment quickly without losing valuable time waiting in queues. Ovumia’s own gamete bank provides a fast and secure route to parenthood. There are no waiting lists for egg, sperm or full donation treatments – treatment can often begin within approximately 2–4 months of the initial appointment. The duration of the process depends on your individual situation, desired donor characteristics and donor availability, as well as required examinations and the timing of counselling.
Once you have made your decision, we aim to ensure smooth and efficient progress. Our own gamete bank enables us to identify suitable donors more quickly. We assist with scheduling examinations and treatment so that you can move forward without unnecessary delays.
Our goal is the best possible outcome, achieved safely. Treatments are carried out by an experienced team using modern methods.
Ovumia has been actively involved in developing fertility treatments and donor treatment practices. This experience is reflected in treatment quality, processes, outcomes and how patients are supported.
You are supported by a dedicated care team and receive clear guidance at every stage. Your treatment plan is tailored to your life situation and wishes.
We review options, risks, costs and timelines clearly and transparently, so you always know where you stand.
If you are considering donor treatment or would like to explore which option might suit your situation best, book an initial appointment with a fertility specialist or a free consultation with a midwife.
We will review your background, available options and timeline – and help you take the next step as smoothly as possible.
