IVF with Donor Sperm
We offer high-quality IVF treatments with donated sperm. With our short waiting times, in-house sperm bank, and world-class pregnancy results, we look forward to welcoming you.
What is IVF (In vitro fertilization) with Donor Sperm
We offer high-quality IVF treatments with donated sperm and short waiting times to couples and single women who lack sperm. IVF with donated sperm can also be offered to women and couples where repeated inseminations with donated sperm have not previously been successful. Livio's clinics use sperm from our own Livio Sperm Bank and sperm banks in Denmark. This means we have very good access to high-quality sperm at all our clinics
Who is it for?
- Heterosexual couples with reduced sperm production or unexplained infertility.
- Same-sex couples and single women who lack their own sperm production.
- Couples or women where repeated insemination or IVF treatments have previously been unsuccessful.
What are the benefits of IVF with Donor Sperm?
IVF with donor sperm offers several benefits for couples struggling with infertility and is generally much more effective than insemination treatment.
- IVF can be successful when other methods have failed.
- The method can be used for various types of infertility, including ovulation problems, reduced sperm quality, and unexplained infertility.
- IVF enables family formation for different types of couples and single individuals.
- Doctors can carefully monitor and optimize the fertilization process and embryo development.
- IVF can help with certain medical conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS in women or low sperm count in men.

Your IVF Journey: step-by-step
Evaluation
The conditions are the same as for all other types of assisted reproduction. A woman who is single or in a relationship can undergo treatment. A couple should be married or cohabiting and living in a stable relationship. A fertility evaluation of the person wishing to become pregnant should be done before treatment if not done previously. The evaluation includes a doctor's visit with medical history, gynecological examination with ultrasound, and testing (hormones and infection screening). Individual medical assessment is always done. BMI should be under 35 (for the person who will carry the pregnancy), but normal weight is desirable. A partner should also be healthy; a doctor's consultation with medical history and a possible medical examination is included.
Psychosocial Assessment
Treatment may proceed if the future child is deemed likely to grow up under good conditions. According to Swedish law, the assessment includes a conversation with a behavioral scientist, where an in-depth psychosocial evaluation is made and there's an opportunity to discuss the emotional aspect of undergoing sperm donation where the child does not have a genetic connection to both parents.
Matching with a Donor
According to Swedish law, a patient is not allowed to choose the donor's characteristics; the doctor does this. The donor's eye color, hair color, skin color, and body type are matched with the woman who will carry the pregnancy. If it's a couple undergoing treatment together, the donor is matched with the future parent who will not be carrying the child during pregnancy. This way, the child has the potential to resemble both parents.
Fertilisation
For sperm donation, sperm that has been frozen for at least six months is used to ensure that the sperm is free from certain viruses. Sperm is thawed, and the treatment is carried out through insemination in connection with ovulation in a normal menstrual cycle or in a hormone-treated cycle. The treatment is individualized according to the woman's own conditions. For sperm donation, sperm that has been frozen for at least six months is used to ensure that the sperm is free from certain viruses. The egg cells are directly fertilised with thawed sperm from the donor. Fertilisation occurs using either IVF or ICSI method.
Embryo Transfer
Embryo transfer takes place two to five days after fertilization. If after transferring one embryo there are more embryos of good quality, these can be frozen to be used later if needed.

Our prices
An IVF treatment is an individual process. Therefore, it is also difficult to estimate the total cost of treatment leading to a pregnancy. Within the Livio group, we strive to maintain as consistent pricing as possible, but the varying conditions at different clinics may sometimes result in slight price differences from clinic to clinic. Please feel free to consult us, and we will guide you!

Your funding options
In collaboration with Human Finans, Livio offers the possibility of advantageous loans and financing for your fertility treatment. For example, it is possible to take an interest-free loan for an IVF treatment and split the payment over 6 or 12 months.
You can contact Human Finans by phone at 08-560 201 15 or visit their website for more information and free advice.
Possible Side Effects of IVF with Donor Sperm
During the latter part of hormone stimulation, the abdomen may feel tense and tender due to enlarged ovaries. It's also common to feel emotionally affected during these days.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs in 1-2% of IVF cases. Symptoms include abdominal swelling, pain, and difficulty breathing, usually appearing after embryo transfer. Treatment varies with severity, from rest and clinic monitoring to hospital care. There's an increased risk of blood clots, and blood-thinning treatment may be necessary. Pregnancy is not negatively affected.
The risk of OHSS has significantly decreased with shorter hormone stimulation (antagonist protocol). Today, all embryos can be frozen and transferred later in the woman's natural menstrual cycle or with simpler hormone stimulation, reducing risks for the woman while maintaining pregnancy chances.
IVF with Donor Sperm Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
By law, a patient is not allowed to choose the donor's characteristics themselves; the doctor does this. The donor's eye color, hair color, skin color, and body type are matched with the woman who will carry the pregnancy. If it's a couple undergoing treatment together, the donor is matched with the future parent who will not be carrying the child during pregnancy. This way, the child has the potential to resemble both parents.
All our sperm donors are evaluated at Livio's clinics via Livio Egg and Sperm Bank. All donors are healthy, have no hereditary diseases in their family/relatives, have good sperm count, and are between 23 and 45 years old. A prospective donor is tested for several infectious diseases (including HIV 1 and 2, hepatitis B and C, HTLV I/II, and syphilis), and genetic screening is done to ensure the donor is not a carrier of any rare hereditary diseases.
A donor can give rise to children in a maximum of six families in Sweden, and possibly siblings.
The donor is anonymous to the couple, and the receiving couple or woman is anonymous to the donor. However, children born through donation have the right, when sufficiently mature, to find out the donor's identity. The donor has neither obligations nor rights towards the child. Information about the donor is kept for at least 70 years.
The evaluation before donation treatment always includes a conversation with a behavioral scientist, where an in-depth psychosocial assessment is made and there's an opportunity to discuss the emotional aspect of undergoing egg donation where the child does not have a genetic connection to both parents. For most people, this is a good opportunity to raise questions, thoughts, and possible concerns about the treatment.
