Insemination (IUI)

It's also ideal for single women and same-sex couples, who need donor sperm to conceive, but have no underlining fertility issues.

IVF treatment with donor eggs
IVF using donor eggs is a fertility treatment for women who cannot conceive with their own eggs. For some women this may be because of a premature menopause, or because they cannot produce eggs after illness or surgery. It is also recommended for women who carry inherited conditions they fear passing on to their baby. In the treatment we use eggs that have been donated and carefully screened, and fertilise these with your partner's or a donor’s sperm.
IVF using donor eggs key facts
- We only accept donations from fertile healthy women, who are likely to have very high-quality eggs.
- Our success rates using donor eggs tend to be excellent.
- Any embryos of suitable quality that are not used in treatment can be frozen and stored for future use.

You can choose to buy sperm at Vitanova or you can buy it from an external sperm bank. Vitanova only works with recognised and licensed donor banks to provide our patients with the best quality sperm. When being matched with a donor, your preferences for ethnicity, eye and hair colour will be taken into account. If you choose your donor yourself at a sperm bank, you can choose to see much more information. It is generally possible, to buy sperm from donors with different ethnic backgrounds, but not always. At the consultation, we will talk to you about your donor preferences.

Becoming an egg donor
Egg donation is the ultimate gift you can give. It takes a very special woman to share her eggs with another. Donating your eggs provides the only chance of motherhood to women who cannot conceive with their own eggs. This may be for a number of reasons including premature menopause, ovaries which are impaired due to life-saving medical treatment or surgery. Sadly, because of a shortage of donor eggs, women are often forced to wait before they match with the right donor.
Becoming an egg donor key facts
- You must be between 18 and 35 years old
- You must be physically and mentally healthy
- All donors receive DKK7,000 compensation when they donate
- Egg donation is completely voluntary and you can withdraw your offer any time before the egg collection procedure.
