The development is partly an expression of more women choosing to try to get pregnant during treatment.
Since 2013, the number of fertility treatments with frozen eggs has doubled. In 2013, 3150 women received the treatment, while the number in 2019 was 7449.
According to the National Board of Health, the increase is not only an expression of more women choosing the treatment, but also that the success rate of getting pregnant by artificial insemination has doubled in the same period.
In 2013, 16.7 percent of fertilizations resulted in a pregnancy. In 2019, it was 30 percent.
If you ask Minister of Health Magnus Heunicke (S), it is a welcome development.
– It’s really hard to be in fertility treatment. Both physically and mentally. And it is easy to understand how much the desire for a child can fill. When today, significantly more people in fertility treatment succeed in becoming parents using frozen fertilized eggs than just six years ago, then there is reason to rejoice, he says in a press release.
