Egg donation at Klinikk Hausken.

Now it is approaching start-up egg donation. Work on the regulations is finished and now only the consultation process remains.

This is going to be very exciting and we can't wait to get started. We have received approval for egg banks in Oslo and Haugesund. Patients from Western Norway will donate eggs in Haugesund and the same applies to those couples who need egg donation to finally succeed in becoming parents.

Why have we established egg donation offers only in Oslo and Haugesund?

It's all about quality. We have invested in new equipment in Oslo and Haugesund for just this activity. In addition, we have selected two highly experienced embryologists to do the work. Vitrification of eggs, survival and pregnancies are entirely dependent on those who master the technique best also doing the job.

We are already in the process of storing eggs for women who envisage future use, i.e. egg freezing. Read more about egg frys >>

We have a lot of couples waiting for egg donation. That means the effort to recruit women who want to help other couples is important. Many women have already reached out and said they want to help these couples. Although we have received women who want to donate, these women have to go through a screening process before they can be approved as donors. We are still waiting for these regulations and cannot start the process until it is in place. We wait in suspense.

There are several ways to conduct egg donation:

1. One can synchronize the one who donates and the one who receives. The woman who donates eggs does stimulation and egg withdrawal as a normal IVF attempt. The eggs are fertilized with the partner's sperm (recipient of egg donation) and then transfer the fresh embryo to the woman (recipient of egg donation).
2. One does the same as mentioned above in the case of the woman who donates eggs, but one does not synchronize the treatment with the one who is to receive. Instead of fresh transfer, the embryos are frozen. The woman to receive then plans a freezing test and hours the mucous membrane in against the tin and return of the embryo.
3. The third method that is approved is to recruit women who want to help. They need to undergo stimulation and egg extraction. These eggs are frozen. This is how you can build an egg bank over time. This may be the best solution in the long run, but it also takes the longest time. One cannot offer egg donation until one has built an egg bank.

Those who want to use egg donation must go through a conversation and survey to find the best method - Fertility check - egg donation. One must also make an assessment regarding suitability (+ police certificate). We will update the website with booking options as soon as these factors are in place.

We will endeavour to establish the provision as soon as we can and have already put together a dedicated egg donation group working towards establishing a good treatment provision according to the regulations.
