What are my fertility treatment options as a single woman?
IVF with donor sperm
IVF for a single woman involves an egg being collected from your ovaries and fertilised by donor sperm in a lab.
The resulting embryo is then placed back inside your womb to develop.
IVF can be done using your own or donated eggs.
Our IVF treatment page takes you through the process in detail, and we also have an IVF journey guide that will help walk you through the steps involved.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with donor sperm
IUI involves healthy, high-quality donor sperm being injected into your womb around the time you’re ovulating.
If you have an irregular cycle, we can give you medication to ensure ovulation takes place.
By placing the sperm directly into your womb, a higher number of healthy sperm can reach the egg, increasing the chances of your egg being fertilised.
IUI is popular with single women because it’s cheaper, shorter, and less invasive than full IVF treatment.
However, IUI is less likely to be successful than IVF.
Egg freezing
You may be considering having a baby, but you don’t feel completely ready yet.
One way you can preserve your fertility is by freezing your eggs for future use.
This involves going through a standard IVF stimulation cycle in order to collect the eggs.
We usually recommend you freeze your eggs before the age of 35 if possible.
But if you’re older than this, we can discuss whether it might still be a good option for you.
Embryo freezing
For similar reasons to egg freezing, you may choose embryo freezing to preserve your fertility for the future.
Embryo freezing and storage for a year is included as part of IVF treatment at TFP Fertility UK.
So if you have a IVF cycle with donor sperm that results in some good quality embryos, they’ll be frozen for later use.
This eliminates the need for a full IVF cycle next time, as only a frozen embryo transfer will be required.
How can I find a sperm donor?
We have a TFP donor bank that you can use if you’re set to have IVF or IUI treatment. We will work closely with you to help you find a sperm donor either from the TFP Donor Bank or from other reputable sperm banks.
Can I use sperm from someone I know?
We’ve helped many single women have a child using sperm from a known donor, typically a friend.
If you wish to have IUI or IVF using a known donor, they will need to visit one of our clinics to have their semen analysed.
If this analysis shows them to be a suitable donor, we will need to carry out several other screening blood tests before going ahead.
Your donor will also need to attend free counselling provided by TFP Fertility UK, and sign consent forms.
It’s also important to note that sperm needs to be quarantined for three months and post-donation screening carried out before it can be released for treatment.
