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.
If pregnancy hasn’t occurred after six months of regular trying, it’s a good idea to schedule fertility testing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, at Ovumia’s egg and sperm bank, we make new life possible by offering high-quality treatments using donated eggs and sperm.
The success rate for egg donation treatment at Ovumia clinics exceeds 50% from the first embryo transfer.
