Fertility Options: Take the First Step Toward Parenthood

We offer a range of fertility treatment options for single women using donor sperm, tailored to suit your personal circumstances and goals:

• Donor InseminationDonor Insemination involves inserting washed and concentrated directly into a recipient’s uterus at the time of ovulation to increase the possibility of conceiving. The method of artificial insemination most commonly used is Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI).
• In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) with donor sperm.The process of In Vitro Fertilisation involves fertilising an egg with donated sperm outside the body in a specialist incubator. After several days, the resulting embryo is transferred back into the recipient’s uterus. The whole process, up to the embryo transfer stage, usually takes around three to four weeks.Your fertility specialist will discuss your IVF treatment cycle with you. The treatment type usually depends on an individual’s medical history, age, diagnosis and other related fertility factors.

• Egg Freezing Egg freezing is a fertility treatment that allows you to preserve your eggs for future use. The process involves hormone stimulation to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are then collected in a simple day procedure, vitrified (frozen), and stored for when you’re ready to try for a baby. This option is ideal if you’re not ready to start a family now but want to keep the door open for parenthood later on. Your fertility specialist will discuss your individual circumstances, including age, medical history, and fertility goals, to help determine if egg freezing is right for you.
