In our IVF department, we take you by the hand throughout the process if you have decided to fulfil your pregnancy wish through egg donation.
Book a free consultation regarding IVF/ICSI with donor eggs and get access to our extensive donor catalogue.
Before the treatment programme can begin, you need to book an initial consultation. Read more about the initial consultation here.
After the initial consultation, a number of tests must be done. Further down the page you can see an overview of the tests that are required before treatment can begin. All tests can be done here at the clinic or in at a test laboratory near you.
Once you have received the test results, we will book you in for a consultation with our fertility doctor. Here, the doctor will go through the further course of treatment in detail.
The last step involves collecting a sperm sample from the man and freezing the it at the clinic. This ensures that it is prepared for fertilisation of the donated eggs in the laboratory.
Book your appointment hereNow it’s time to find an egg donor. Via our egg donor database you can get information about all the donors.
There may be a waiting period due to the donor’s circumstances, and it is therefore recommended that you select several donors as possible matches for you. This way, we can most likely offer you treatment faster.
Additional tests can be arranged with the doctor.

Once you have been assigned an egg donor, she will begin hormone treatment, followed by egg retrieval.
The number of eggs donated varies from donor to donor, so we cannot predict how many eggs you will receive. The eggs will be fertilised in the laboratory with the partner sperm, which is now thawed for the procedure.
Over the next few days, our skilled embryologists will monitor the development of the fertilised eggs in the laboratory. Only eggs that develop into blastocysts are suitable for transfer to the uterus. Any additional blastocysts will be frozen for future use.
We guarantee at least one blastocyst in egg donation treatment.
You will be kept informed throughout the process about how many eggs have been fertilised and how many eggs have reached the blastocyst stage.
Before a fertilised egg (blastocyst) can be transferred into the uterus, you as a woman must be optimally prepared to hopefully become pregnant.
This can be done in your own cycle (if possible), with hormone injections or with oestradiol tablets and a progesterone supplement.
You will receive a treatment plan that is reviewed with a specialist from our experienced treatment team so you know exactly what to take and when.
Some women need to “reset” their cycle before starting hormone therapy (down-regulation), but this is of course customised individually.
The embryo transfer is a simple procedure that most women find completely painless. The blastocyst is placed in the uterus using a small catheter. At the same time, we perform an abdominal ultrasound to ensure the blastocyst is positioned perfectly.
After the transfer, you will need to continue taking the prescribed tablets and suppositories until the pregnancy test result is available. If the test is positive, the hormone treatment will continue until the 12th week of pregnancy.
