In Denmark, both couples and single women can be offered treatment with egg donation if they are unable to become pregnant with their own eggs. We also offer double donation, where both eggs and sperm are donated, if there is a medical reason for this.

Who can receive donor eggs?

You can receive egg donation until you turn 46. This means that the treatment must have been commenced no later than when you are 45 years old and that it stops when you turn 46.

Egg transfer

On progesterone day 6, the most suitable egg is transferred to your uterus. You continue with the hormone therapy.

Pregnancy test

Around 11 days after the egg retrieval, you must have a pregnancy blood test done.

Pregnancy scan

If the pregnancy test is positive, we perform an ultrasound scan approximately three weeks later.
