Donor egg IVF treatments
Ovumia is a forerunner in its field. Every year, we perform the majority of treatments using donor eggs in Finland and we also take excellent care of our donors.
At Ovumia we have a dedicated and high-quality egg donation (“non-anonymous donor”, “known donor”) program that is the longest running and most successful in Finland and in whole Scandinavia, with 50 % of couples achieving a livebirth from a single donation. We have an active egg donor program and both fresh and frozen donor gametes (the Finnish Egg Bank) are available. This makes the planning and timing of the treatment fast and convenient. Our fertility centers are situated in Helsinki, in Tampere, in Jyväskylä and in Kuopio.
Currently our fertility clinic performs successfully over 75 % of all egg donation treatments in Finland, for both international and domestic customers.

Our egg donors are:
Our donors are typical Finnish women who most often have a friend or a relative who has had difficulties in conceiving a child and been going through assisted reproduction methods. Our donors are altruistic and simply want to help because they can. Many of them have had their friends donating and recommending our clinic to them as well.
All candidates undergo donor screening and blood tests are taken for infectious diseases (HIV, HBV, HCV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea). In a health check-up the candidates with low ovarian capacity or any known inheritable diseases in the family are ruled out. Donor candidates also have a discussion with a therapist. It is very important for us that the donor really understands all the aspects of the donation before making the decision to donate. We don’t want anyone to regret their donation afterwards.
All donors are registered within a national registry, so the child has a possibility to find out the identity of the donor after turning 18 years. Five families at the maximum may have children by the same donor. We take really good care of our donors and this is why most of our donors do a second or even a third donation cycle.
The donors undergo an ovarian stimulation to produce a good number of eggs for the treatment. The aim is to provide enough eggs for a successful treatment but not to compromise the wellbeing of the donor (with for example ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome).
According to the Finnish legislation, we are allowed to pay donors a small reimbursement, but the main reason for the donation is altruistic. Our donors genuinely want to help the intending parents to conceive a baby.
