Treatment of infertility

Keywords:

At our gynecological outpatient clinics, we conduct infertility examinations, for which you need a physician's referral from primary health care or a private physician, usually after about a year of trying to get pregnant. If you have an illness or other situation that makes it difficult to get pregnant, examinations associated with the treatment of infertility can be initiated earlier.

We carry out basic infertility examinations at the Reproductive Medicine Unit in Helsinki and at Hyvinkää, Lohja, Porvoo, and Raseborg Hospitals. We have centralized insemination, in vitro fertilization, treatments with donated gametes, and more demanding infertility treatments at the Reproductive Medicine Unit in Helsinki.

General criteria for infertility treatments

  • A referral can be made when the couple has been actively trying to become pregnant for at least 12 months.
  • If there is a known situation that clearly complicates the onset of pregnancy (such as the absence of menstruation, ovulation disorder, severe endometriosis pain), evaluation can be started earlier.
  • A woman’s body mass index (BMI) should be above 18 and below 35. 
  • Use of all nicotine products must be stopped before seeking infertility testing.
  • The couple has no more than one previous child together.
  • In fertility treatments, the probability of childbirth must be more than 10% per treatment cycle.
