Open egg donation with a short waiting time? Ovumia Finland - experiences?

Nini · March 8, 2025 at 12:38 AM

Hello everyone,

We have been waiting for a new donor at the Aagaard Clinic in Denmark for 14 months now. Our daughter from the first successful ECS will be four years old in May and we have already had two unsuccessful transfers for a sibling in 2023 and have been waiting for a new donor ever since. Now the donor promised to us has also backed out at short notice and my patience is at an end. That's why we want to look for a new clinic with a shorter waiting time, but it should still be a non-anonymous donation for the sake of the child.

Does anyone know of any clinics with really short waiting times (< 3 months) for non-anonymous egg donation?

I came across the Ovumia clinic in Finland, they have a cryo egg bank where there might be shorter waiting times. Does anyone have experience with the clinic?

Does anyone have experience with success rates with frozen eggs? I have found and skimmed a few studies that say that the chances of success with frozen eggs are almost identical to fresh eggs, provided the clinic has enough experience with freezing and thawing the more delicate eggs compared to embryos.

Does anyone have experience of transferring frozen sperm from one clinic to another? Because of problems with sperm quality, it would be important for us to be able to take our "good" sperm from the current clinic to the new one.

Kind regards,
your impatient Nini

Hi C+C I would have been interested in the answer to this question too, it's a pity that you only reply with a PN. Lg

Onemore This was just a suggestion for a clinic in Denmark that has no waiting times. We never post such content publicly as it is very personalized

Nini@ I waited 3 weeks at Diers in Aarhus. Enquired this year at the beginning of January, had the proposal at the end of the month and the transfer at the beginning of March. The Sellmer Clinic should be similarly quick.

Mona25 Wow, that's really fast! Mh, somehow we must have chosen a very slow clinic with Aagaard... Well, in the meantime we have received another donor from Aagaard and are therefore staying there for the time being. But if it doesn't work out and we want to try again, we will definitely switch to Sellmer or Diers (or another clinic).

Have you already had the blood test?

Hello dear ones,

since we have now also been contacted privately about the clinic in Denmark, without waiting time, we would now like to pass it on to you all

Click on the link and you can take a look at the Freya Fertility clinic in Herning

It is a small, very informal clinic that is not overcrowded, where you will still be treated personally by the head doctor and owner.

Best regards

Nini@ Then I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything works the way you want it to now. The blood test is Friday, but the various early pregnancy tests were all positive. I hope it stays that way 😀

Congratulations, Mona25! And thanks for keeping your fingers crossed!

Thank you for the link.

Unfortunately, with the eternal wait at Aagard for an open donor and the subsequent miscarriage, I have reached the age limit. Unfortunately, 1.5 years were wasted. I would have liked to have had a look at the clinic 🥺
