Success rates for donor egg IVF in Aarhus

Donor egg IVF success rates in Denmark are reported per cycle started, which gives a more complete picture than the per-transfer figures many other countries use. According to ESHRE data, fresh donor egg IVF across Europe achieves an ongoing pregnancy rate of around 55 to 60% per transfer. Danish clinics report rates broadly in line with this benchmark.

Because outcomes in donor egg IVF are driven by the donor's egg quality rather than your age, success rates hold up well even for recipients in their early to mid 40s. This is one of the reasons donor egg IVF in Denmark is a practical option for women who are no longer eligible for treatment with their own eggs.

Why choose Aarhus for donor egg IVF?

1. Real outcome data published since 2016, not just promotional figures
2. Fresh donor eggs from individually matched Danish donors, not a frozen egg bank
3. Only two visits to Aarhus required for the full cycle
4. Both anonymous and open donation available — one of the few countries where you have this choice
5. Treatment available up to your 46th birthday
6. Lower overall cost than Copenhagen, with comparable clinical outcomes
7. Smaller program means more personal coordination than a large multi-specialty hospital

Donor egg IVF in Aarhus vs Copenhagen

Frequently asked questions about donor egg IVF in Aarhus

How many visits to Aarhus will I need?

1. First visit: blood tests and sperm freezing
2. Second visit: embryo transfer

Everything in between, including the donor's cycle and embryo development, is handled by the clinic without requiring your presence.

How long is the waiting time in Aarhus?

1. Anonymous donation: around 2 to 3 months
2. Open donation: around 4 to 5 months

The wait begins from the date you sign your consent forms and are placed on the list. Anonymous donation is faster because the pool of willing anonymous donors is larger.

Can I choose open or anonymous donation in Aarhus?

Yes. Denmark is one of the few countries that legally permits both. With open donation, your child can request the donor's identifying information when they turn 18. With anonymous donation, only physical and medical profile details are shared. Most other destinations we work with offer anonymous donation only.

What blood tests do I need before starting?

For both partners: HIV, Hepatitis B (HBs antigen and Anti-HBc), Hepatitis C (Anti-HCV), and Syphilis.

For the female partner additionally: TSH, TPO, Prolactin, Rubella, and Chlamydia.

If you have results from the past six months from an EU-approved laboratory, the clinic can use these.

Can I fly into Copenhagen and travel to Aarhus?

Yes, and many international patients do. The train from Copenhagen Airport to Aarhus takes around 3 hours. Aarhus also has its own airport with connections via Amsterdam, London, and other European hubs, as does Billund Airport about 45 minutes away.
