Donorbehandling
Behandling med donorsæd eller donerte egg kan være aktuelt for mange. I Norge er det ikke tillatt med samtidig donasjon av egg og sæd (såkalt dobbeldonasjon) og single kvinner i Norge får derfor ikke tilbud om eggdonasjon i henhold til bioteknologiloven.

Partner donation has been permitted in Norway since 1 January 2021 and may be relevant for two women in a relationship.
The new Biotechnology Act that came into force in 2020 allowed partner donation, but it then had to be medically justified. However, a change and clarification came in 2021, so that the justification can now also be purely social. This means that women in a same-sex couple can decide for themselves who will carry the pregnancy.
Some women have medical challenges related to their fertility – ovaries that produce few or no eggs, early menopause, or otherwise reduced egg quality. The chance of succeeding with reproduction can then be minimal. In that case, you may be able to receive eggs from another woman. If the eggs used are of good quality, you have a good chance of succeeding with treatment. The eggs are then fertilized with donor sperm.
Partner donation is only available to two women who are married or cohabiting in a marriage-like relationship.
The procedure for partner donation is quite similar to IVF treatment. The egg is retrieved from one woman (the donor) and fertilized with donor sperm. The embryo is frozen and thawed, and then transferred to the partner's uterus (the recipient) in a frozen embryo transfer. The treatment is permitted where there is a social or medical reason why the partner (the recipient) cannot become pregnant with her own eggs.
