More and more single women from Sweden have applied for assistance with assisted reproduction in the Skåne Region. Short wait times are what attracted it, but now the tail has grown too long and the egg and sperm pool has started to run its course, Sydsvenskan writes.

Starting this fall, women over 38 are encouraged to refrain from queuing at the fertility clinic in Skåne.
“You don’t have time to get treatment if you apply for us after age 38,” Margareta Kitlinski, operations manager at the Center for Reproductive Medicine (RMC) at Skåne University Hospital, tells the newspaper.
Even for those who have had sex, it may take several months or years for treatment to begin.
Of the couples and singles lining up at RMC in Skåne to receive donated eggs or sperm, about 70 percent come from other counties. Many of them are from Gothenburg, where the waiting time is three to four years.
Normally, women can receive assistance with assisted reproduction in public care until the age of 40, which is the formal age limit. It is also possible to apply to private fertility clinics, but three insemination attempts cost around 40,000 SEK.
