Egg Donation
Egg donation means
that an egg from an anonymous woman is fertilised with the man's sperm
and subsequently transferred to the uterus of the recipient woman. This
treatment is suited for women who cannot themselves produce eggs of a
sufficiently good quality or who have a genetic disease that they do
not wish to pass on to their children. As in the case of sperm
donation, the physical features of the donor are matched with those of
the recipient woman. It is a statutory requirement that one of the
parents must be a genetic parent, which means that donor sperm cannot
be used in the case of egg donation.
We are looking for more egg donors!
From January 2007 voluntary donors may be used in Denmark. According to
the National Board of Health, cross donation is not permitted, for
which reason the clinic itself must find all donors. This means that we have more women who would like to receive an oocyte than we have women who would like to donate oocytes. We would therefore
very much like to hear from women aged 18-35 who are interested in
donating eggs. The more donors we have, the more women we can help. You
may contact the clinic either by calling during the telephone opening
hours or by sending an e-mail. If you plan an IVF-treatment and are willing to donate some of your oocytes, please, let us know so we can match a recipient for your treatment.
