Hey there! If you’re a single woman dreaming of starting a family, we’re here to support you. At TFP Fertility UK, we’ve successfully guided countless single women through their IVF journeys, offering compassionate care every step of the way.
Your Options
So, what are your options? Let’s break it down:
IVF with Donor Sperm
In this process, we collect an egg from your ovaries and fertilize it with donor sperm in our lab. Once we have a healthy embryo, we’ll transfer it back into your uterus for development. You can choose to use your own eggs or opt for donor eggs. On our IVF treatment page, you’ll find a detailed overview, plus an IVF journey guide to help you navigate the process.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with Donor Sperm
IUI is another option where we directly inject high-quality donor sperm into your womb during ovulation. This method can be a bit cheaper and less invasive than IVF, making it a popular choice among single women. However, keep in mind that IUI typically has lower success rates compared to IVF.
Egg Freezing
If you’re not quite ready to have a baby just yet, consider freezing your eggs for future use. This involves going through an IVF stimulation cycle to collect eggs. We usually recommend this before age 35, but if you’re older, we can discuss your options too.
Embryo Freezing
Similar to egg freezing, this allows you to preserve your fertility. If your IVF cycle with donor sperm results in good quality embryos, we’ll freeze them for future use, so you won’t need to undergo a full IVF cycle again.
Finding a Sperm Donor
We have a TFP donor bank to help you find a suitable sperm donor, or you can consider using someone you know. If you choose a known donor, they’ll need to visit one of our clinics for semen analysis and screening. Remember, they’ll also have to complete a counseling session and sign consent forms.
If you’re curious about fertility treatment options or have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you through this exciting journey of motherhood.
