IVF in Norway – Frequently Asked Questions for International Patients

Yes. Klinikk Hausken treats international patients from the UK, US, and across Europe. You do not need Norwegian residency or a referral from a local doctor. The age limit for women is 43 years.

No. Under Norwegian law, IVF with donor eggs from a third-party donor is available to Norwegian citizens only. Reciprocal IVF (where one partner donates eggs to the other) is available to all patients. If you require donor eggs, we will tell you this clearly at your first consultation.

Yes. Single women are eligible for IVF treatment at Klinikk Hausken, including IVF with donor sperm.

IVF at Klinikk Hausken typically costs significantly less than in the UK or US, often 30–50% less than UK private clinics and up to 70% less than typical US prices. See our full price list for current figures and a complete breakdown of what's included.

The quoted price covers the core treatment cycle including consultations, egg retrieval, fertilisation, and embryo transfer. Medications, ICSI, embryo freezing, and cryopreservation are priced separately. You will receive a personalised cost breakdown before committing to treatment.

No. We provide a full cost breakdown before you start. Additional costs to budget for beyond treatment are flights, accommodation, and medications. We work with a UK partner pharmacy so you can source medications at home before travelling.

Most patients complete their IVF cycle in 10–14 days in Norway. Initial consultations and some monitoring scans can be done with your own doctor at home. Your nurse coordinator will plan your travel schedule in detail before you book flights.

No. All international patient consultations are conducted in English. Your dedicated care team — coordinator, nurse, and doctor — communicate with you in English throughout.

Yes. Hormone stimulation injections are self-administered at home in the weeks before you travel. Your nurse will walk you through the protocol in detail and be available by message throughout. You travel to Norway for the egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

We have clinics in Bergen, Oslo (Lysaker), Stavanger, and Haugesund. All offer the same level of care and equipment. Our Haugesund clinic is our original location and has a dedicated team specialising in international patients, making it a natural choice for those travelling from abroad. That said, the right clinic for you depends on your travel connections and preferences — your coordinator will help you decide during your free case review.

Norway has some of Europe's strictest fertility treatment regulations, overseen by the Norwegian Directorate of Health. Klinikk Hausken is fully licensed and reports outcomes to the national registry. Standards of care are equivalent to the UK's HFEA-regulated sector.

Our success rates are published and available on our success rates page. We report live birth rates, not just positive pregnancy tests — the same standard required by the HFEA in the UK.

The first step is a free case review with Camilla, our international coordinator. She will assess your situation, answer your practical questions, and arrange an online consultation with Dr. Hausken if appropriate. There is no obligation to proceed.

Yes, and for couples we recommend it. The initial free case review call is with Camilla, our international coordinator — this can be done from home and works well for both partners together. If you proceed, the online consultation with Dr. Hausken and the follow-up appointment with your nurse are both well suited to attending as a couple, and we encourage it.

Your nurse follows up on test results and coordinates with your local doctor where needed. Frozen embryos can be stored at the clinic for future cycles, which require a shorter visit.
