The use of donated gametes is considered when the production of one's own eggs or sperm is declining or has ceased. It is also an option if pregnancy with one's own gametes has not succeeded despite several attempts. Donated gametes are also commonly used in fertility treatments for female couples and single women who want to have a child.
The gamete donor can be known to the recipients. However, most treatments with donated gametes are carried out using gametes from donors unknown to the recipients.
All gamete donors have been carefully selected. They have undergone a health examination. By law, donors must be registered. A child born as a result of the treatment has the right to know the identity of the donor.
In egg donation treatment, the donor undergoes ovarian follicle maturation treatment and egg retrieval. The recipient of the eggs is given medication to prepare the uterine mucous membrane before the embryo transfer.
The use of donated gametes always requires careful planning and preparation. It also requires a discussion with a psychologist due to the special nature of the treatment. Please also familiarise yourself with the Act on Assisted Fertility Treatments External link (Finlex.fi).
For more information, please contact our egg donation treatment coordinators at 010 414 6652. If you are interested in treatments with donated sperm, you can obtain more information by calling 010 414 6650.
It is possible to cryopreserve your own sperm at the Felicitas Mehiläinen sperm bank for future fertility treatments. By cryopreserving sperm, you can secure your own gametes, for example, if a man is undergoing cancer treatments. Prior cryopreservation of sperm may be required for fertility treatment. This may be due to, for example, the man's long travels. Cryopreservation of sperm is possible at all Felicitas Mehiläinen locations.
For more information on treatments, required consents and blood tests, please contact your nearest Felicitas Mehiläinen location.
