Donor gamete counselling

Before treatment with donated gametes, patients are referred for confidential counselling with a psychologist or therapist. The discussion provides a safe space for questions, thoughts and emotions related to treatment with donated eggs or sperm. The aim is to support treatment decisions, emotional processing and informed understanding before treatment. Counselling can be held at the clinic or remotely.

The child’s right to information

Counselling also covers the future child’s right to information about genetic origins. Under the donor system described on the page, a person conceived using donated gametes has the right on reaching adulthood to obtain the donor’s identity.
