Additional costs to consider:

1. Medications (hormone stimulation): DKK 6,000–DKK 11,200. This is the cost most people underestimate. It is purchased separately unless specified in your clinic package, so make sure you are budgeting for it on top of the headline fee.
2. Monitoring scans during stimulation: DKK 1,000–DKK 2,000 per scan, if not included in your package. Check this before you book.
3. Annual storage from year 2 onwards: DKK 1,500–DKK 2,500 per year
4. Thaw, fertilization, and transfer when you are ready to use your eggs: DKK 8,000–DKK 14,000

On accommodation, Aarhus runs noticeably cheaper than Copenhagen: DKK 500–DKK 750 per night versus DKK 750–DKK 1,100. Over a 10–14 day stay, that adds up.

How Much Time Does Egg Freezing in Aarhus Take?

The stimulation phase runs for 10–12 days, with monitoring scans every 2–3 days. You cannot compress this part. Most international patients find the simplest approach is to stay in Aarhus for the full cycle, arrive at the start of stimulation, and leave after retrieval. It is a manageable length of time in a city that is easy to be in.

If staying that long does not work for you, ask your clinic whether they have monitoring arrangements with a partner clinic in your home country. Some do. If yours does, your scans happen locally, the results go directly to Aarhus, and you only need to travel for the retrieval itself, which brings your time in Denmark down to around 2–3 days.

The retrieval takes about 20–30 minutes under light sedation. Most patients feel fine the next day. Clinics generally suggest waiting 24–48 hours before flying, so factor that into your travel plans.

Egg Freezing in Aarhus – FAQs

Q: Is there any clinical reason to choose Copenhagen over Aarhus?

A: No. The standards are the same and both cities operate under identical Danish national regulation. The differences are practical: Copenhagen has more clinics to choose from and better direct flight connections. Aarhus is cheaper and quieter. If cost matters and you are not attached to a specific Copenhagen clinic, Aarhus is a straightforward choice.

Q: How many trips will I need to make?

A: One, if you stay for the full cycle. Some clinics can arrange for your monitoring scans to be done closer to home, in which case you only travel for the retrieval, around 2–3 days. Ask about this at your first consultation, not after you have already started stimulation.

Q: How long can I store my eggs here?

A: Up to 5 years under Danish law. If you are freezing now with no firm timeline for using the eggs, ask your clinic about extension options at the consultation stage. Extensions can be granted for medical reasons, but it is better to know the process upfront.

Q: Can I ship my frozen eggs to a clinic in another country later?

A: It depends on where you are going. Denmark permits the export of frozen eggs, but whether your home country permits import is a separate question and the answer varies. If you are planning to use your eggs outside Denmark, look into this before you start treatment, not after.
