Fertility Treatments

We can not offer you donor treatment. This is not allowed in Norway. Our age limit is 44 years.

IVF - In Vitro Fertilization

IVF involves taking eggs from the woman’s ovaries and fertilizing them in the laboratory with the partner’s sperm. The resulting viable embryo is transferred back to the uterus 2 – 5 days later.

ICSI - Intra Cystoplasmatic Sperm Injection

Severe male factor infertility may result from one or more abnormalities of the several factors evaluated in semen specimens. Among these are: low seminal volume, low motility, low sperm counts or high percentage of abnormal spermatozoa. Other conditions, such as failed attempts of fertilization in vitro and immonulogic infertility, also warrant the utilization of ICSI.

Frozen Embryo Transfer - Cryopreservation

Patients who have good quality embryos available after an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure may choose to freeze, or cryopreserve the embryos. They can then be transferred into the uterus in a future natural cycle

Azoospermia

In men with azoospermia it is possible to find sperm cells for ICSI procedure in 50 – 70%. This retrieval can be done in three different ways:

PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) in which a small needle (local anaesthetic) is used to aspirate sperm from the epididymus.
TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) in which a small needle (local anaesthetic) is used to aspirate sperm directly from the testical.
TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction (biopsy)) in which a small biopsy of testicular tissue is performed (local anaesthetic). TESE is most often used when no sperm are obtained with PESA or TESA.

In these situations, the woman goes through a typical in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, and on the day of egg retrieval, sperm are also retrieved from the man.

Intrauterine Insemination - IUI

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure in which sperm are washed, concentrated and injected directly into a woman’s uterus. As compared to a normal intercourse, IUI increases the number of sperm in the fallopian tubes, where fertilization takes place.

Polycystic Overian Syndrome - PCOS

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a complex endocrine disorder associated with a long-term lack of ovulation (anovulation) and an excess of androgens. PCOS is one of the most frequent causes of infertility.
