Insemination at Sellmer fertility clinic in Denmark
Insemination with partner’s sperm or donor sperm
Process of Insemination Treatment
From our long-standing experience, we know that the first step into a fertility clinic is an important decision that requires time and trust. That’s why we place great importance on starting your treatment with a detailed conversation. In this personal exchange, we discuss your individual wishes, needs, and expectations to find the best possible path for you.
After you decide to undergo fertility treatment at the Sellmer Clinic, you will have a detailed conversation with our specialized staff to discuss the test results. Based on this, we will create a treatment plan that is optimally tailored to your needs. Our experienced professionals ensure a prompt start to your treatment.
If you require donor sperm, it is advisable to order it now to avoid any potential delays.
Sperm bank
We may request additional examinations and blood tests that can be done in your home country. The results can then be sent to us securely.
Among other things, we will ask for the AMH and TSH levels, as well as an ultrasound report.
After your treatment, we will continue to support you until the pregnancy test. Please share the result with us by phone or email, as we are required to report it to the Danish health authorities.
Our goal is to accompany you sensitively and competently on your journey to parenthood—from the initial consultation to the successful completion of your treatment.
IUI – Insemination Treatment
At our clinic, we offer insemination (IUI) as a gentle and proven method to fulfill your desire to have a child. During insemination, carefully prepared sperm is directly introduced into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization. A smooth catheter with the cleaned sperm sample is inserted into the uterine cavity, where the sperm sample is placed in the fallopian tubes, where fertilization occurs. This allows for better timing of fertilization and increases the likelihood of pregnancy. This method is especially suitable for those who have not achieved success through natural means.

FAQ
Which Information Should I Provide Before the Initial Consultation?
Before the initial consultation, the questionnaire must be completed and sent to us. If any tests related to fertility treatment have been conducted in the last six months, we also request that you include those results or specify them in the questionnaire. This includes AMH levels, ultrasound reports, findings from laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, TSH levels, and sperm analysis results, if available. After the initial consultation, we can better assess which examinations and tests will be necessary for your individual treatment.
I have a 28-day cycle; when is it most likely that ovulation occurs?
Most inseminations in a 28-day cycle are performed around the 13th day, but it is entirely normal to ovulate on both the 11th and the 15th day. It is said that the luteal phase should last at least 12 days until menstruation, allowing the egg enough time to implant.
Does it hurt to undergo insemination?
No, it doesn’t hurt, but it can naturally be associated with some discomfort. We use a speculum to locate the cervix. Even though it is not cold and we use the smallest speculum, it can be uncomfortable. Most people do not feel the actual insemination. After the insemination, mild pain may occur, similar to mild menstrual cramps, as well as light bleeding.
When can I undergo insemination after a rubella vaccination?
You can do that after three months. If you undergo insemination before this period is over, there is a risk that your child may have severe birth defects.
Can I go swimming after insemination?
You should wait at least two days after insemination before going to the swimming pool or taking a bath. This way, the risk of infection is minimized.
Do I need to take hormones?
Hormone therapy supports your own hormone production and slightly increases the chances of pregnancy. In general, we do not recommend hormone stimulation for healthy women, as hormone treatment can be associated with side effects. The main side effect is the risk of a multiple pregnancy, which poses risks for both the mother and the children. Additionally, there is a higher risk of cyst formation, overproduction of follicles (egg sacs), as well as discomfort that some women experience with the medication.
Why is my cycle canceled due to a cyst?
Not in all cases does a cycle have to be canceled due to a cyst. However, if the cyst affects egg maturation in the ovary or the passage through the fallopian tube (during insemination), it is sometimes decided to cancel the treatment.
Will I receive an individualized treatment plan?
Yes—after a consultation with our doctors, they will create an individualized treatment plan. This will specify exactly on which day and at what time which medications need to be taken. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact us at any time.
