Fertility treatments for single parents
Whatever your reasons for becoming a solo parent, this is a big decision, and we are here to support, empower and guide you, with a number of different treatment options for whatever stage you're at.
Often single women and those assigned female at birth do not have infertility challenges and may find that IUI with donor sperm is a successful treatment for them. If you do have an infertility diagnosis then IVF may be suitable. Whilst single men are able to use surrogacy to start a family.
Understanding your fertility now
When considering solo parenthood, the best place to start is understanding your fertility now. For women, knowing your ovarian reserve and building a picture of your fertility health right now with a female fertility test will help you make an informed decision about the best next step, whether this egg freezing or proceeding with fertility treatment to conceive.
Preserving your fertility for the future
If you know you’d like to have children one day, but you’re not ready to use a sperm or egg donor, then freezing your eggs or sperm is a good insurance policy for when you are ready.
We also offer embryo freezing, giving you the option to create embryos using a donor sperm to freeze for future IVF cycles.

Solo parenthood FAQs
How can I have a baby as a single parent?
Single women who want a family typically use IUI or artificial insemination to get pregnant. This is a more natural form of fertility treatment that doesn’t always require fertility drugs. Surrogacy provides single men with the opportunity to start a family.
Can I do IVF as a single parent?
There is no requirement to be married or in a relationship to start a family using fertility treatment in the UK. Individuals without a partner are able to conceive through IVF or IUI using donor sperm, eggs or embryos.
