Abstract
In Denmark, oocyte donation is allowed for women below 46 years of age if sperm from the woman's husband/partner is used, thus assuring genetic relationship with one parent. New legislation has provided more donors implying both shorter waiting time until treatment and more pregnancies achieved with donated oocytes. Oocyte donation pregnancies have increased risks of pre-eclampsia, post-partum bleeding, caesarean section, low birth weight and preterm birth, and since these risks are aggravated in multiple pregnancies, single embryo transfer is recommended.
