The ROPA Method – Shared Motherhood
The ROPA method (Reception of Oocytes from Partner) is a special form of artificial insemination that allows same-sex female couples to both actively participate in the creation of their child. One partner donates her eggs, which are then fertilized with donor sperm. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the other partner, who carries the pregnancy. This way, both women can uniquely and emotionally engage in the process of creating their child—it’s a beautiful and connecting experience!
Good news starting January 1, 2025!
As of January 1, 2025, the ROPA method will be legal in Denmark, and we are very excited to offer this wonderful treatment option for female couples here at the Sellmer Clinic in Aarhus! Our dedicated team is ready to guide you with heart and expertise through the entire process and help realize your dreams of a shared family. We can’t wait to welcome you to our clinic!

How does the ROPA process work at the Sellmer Clinic?
The ROPA treatment process at the Sellmer Clinic is warm, professional, and tailored to the individual needs of each couple.
-
Consultation: First, we invite you to a detailed conversation where we explain the treatment process in detail, answer your questions, and discuss all necessary preliminary examinations.
-
Stimulation of the Egg Donor: The partner who is donating her eggs undergoes hormonal stimulation to support the maturation of multiple eggs. We carefully monitor this process to create the best conditions for egg retrieval.
-
Egg Retrieval and Fertilization: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved in a small procedure and fertilized in the lab with donor sperm.
-
Embryo Transfer: The embryo is transferred to the partner who will carry the pregnancy. This is done in a gentle, painless procedure.
-
Pregnancy Test: After about two weeks, a pregnancy test is conducted to see if the treatment was successful.
We are by your side throughout the entire process, providing support and guidance at every step of your journey toward a shared family.
