How to be a single mum, explained step by step
The time between this initial stage and the start of treatment will depend on the information we have available to make a diagnosis. If we have all the test results and this leads to a clear diagnosis and treatment plan, you can start the process straight away.
If, on the other hand, the doctor indicates that your medical history needs to be completed, this part may take a little longer. As soon as the doctor has enough information to arrive at a clear and confident diagnosis and treatment plan, we’ll get straight to work!
What are the different options for single mothers using a sperm donor?
As we mentioned earlier, there are various treatments available, and the choice depends on the patient’s individual circumstances. We’ll explain them below to give you an overview of how they work, although your doctor will always explain the chosen treatment to you in great detail.
Becoming a single mother through artificial insemination
Being a single mother through In Vitro Fertilization
This involves fertilisation taking place outside the body, in a laboratory dish, with the embryos being transferred to the woman’s uterus 3–5 days later.
This treatment is usually used when other, less expensive and less complex options have failed; however, it can also be carried out directly, depending on the woman’s age and the functionality of her fallopian tubes.
Becoming a single mother through egg donation
The eggs and sperm used in egg donation for single mothers come from anonymous donors. Both the sperm donor and the egg donor undergo a thorough assessment to verify genetic suitability, as well as to identify similarities in genetic characteristics and ensure blood compatibility. The egg and sperm are fertilised in vitro, and the procedure will follow the same guidelines as this treatment.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I become a mother through artificial insemination?
This is the procedure that most closely resembles natural conception. Sperm from an anonymous donor is inserted into the uterus via a fine cannula, and the sperm attempt to fertilise the egg without further assistance.
How can you prepare for single motherhood?
Before insemination, ovarian stimulation is carried out. Once the follicles have reached the desired number and size, the woman is given hCG to trigger ovulation, and insemination is scheduled for 36 hours later.
What is the difference between artificial insemination and in vitro fertilisation?
The difference lies in the moment of fertilisation. Whilst in the first case this takes place inside the woman’s body, with in vitro fertilisation it takes place outside her body, in a laboratory dish.
How much does it cost to be a single mother?
The cost of the treatment will vary from case to case, as each procedure is fully tailored to your individual needs.
What is required for assisted reproduction?
To determine what each patient needs, an initial consultation is required, during which our doctor will review your medical history.
How can I have a child through artificial insemination?
You can become a single mother through artificial insemination without any problems, as the sperm will come from an anonymous donor.
