IVF is increasingly used by those who decide to have a child on their parenthood, and being single is now more popular. With the help of modern technology in the reproductive health field and changing social attitudes, people who want to become single parents can do it. Here at SCI IVF Hospital, we provide you with all the help and the newest techniques in IVF that will make this process as comfortable and successful as possible.
Rising Trends in Single Parenthood
Over the past few years, people’s perceptions of single-parent families have begun to change. Increasing numbers of people are deciding to have a child alone, as they are willing to build a career or have no suitable partner. This has been boosted by IVF which has enabled single men and women to have biological children.
In the case of single women, the procedure entails egg collection and embryo creation from donor sperm. Whereas single men rely on surrogacy together with donor eggs, now and then or on occasion. Today, both pathways are popular and are used by more and more people.
The IVF Procedure for Single Parents
The IVF process where singles are involved is not different from the regular IVF process but involves sperm or egg donation and in some cases surrogacy. At SCI IVF Hospital, we guide our patients every step of the way:
- Consultation and Evaluation: A medical check-up is carried out to identify the fertility potential of the person besides checking on his/her general health.
- Choosing a Donor: If you are a single woman or man needing donor sperm or eggs we can arrange for your donor through reputable banks.
- Egg Retrieval and Fertilization: The eggs are collected from the individual or the donor and are then fertilized with donor sperm in a laboratory.
- Embryo Transfer: When they are ready, embryos are then placed into the patient or surrogate’s uterus.
Support Beyond the Procedure
There are always certain emotional and practical issues in becoming a single parent. We at SCI IVF Hospital offer support by counselling the patients to guide them throughout the process. We also help in matters of law especially where there is a contract involving surrogacy or donor.
Why IVF is Empowering for Single Parents
IVF offers single parents a way to have some measure of control over their reproductive destiny. It enables them to become parents when they are ready to do it without having to worry about what society expects of them, or when the right time is. To many it is empowering and transforms one’s life, it is a fulfilling experience.
