Choosing Single Parenthood
The decision to become a parent on your own is a deeply personal one. Whether you have always envisioned this path or your circumstances have led you here, Dr Kirshenbaum provides the expert medical guidance and supportive care you need to make informed decisions.
Your Options
There are several pathways to single parenthood through fertility treatment:
- Donor insemination (IUI) — Using donor sperm with intrauterine insemination, timed with your natural cycle or with ovulation induction
- IVF with donor sperm — In vitro fertilisation using donor sperm, which may be recommended depending on your individual circumstances
- Egg freezing — Preserving your fertility while you take time to plan and prepare
What to Expect
Dr Kirshenbaum will guide you through every aspect of the process:
- Initial consultation — A thorough discussion of your goals, medical history and fertility health
- Fertility assessment — Comprehensive testing to understand your reproductive potential
- Treatment planning — A personalised plan tailored to your individual circumstances
- Donor selection guidance — Information and support around the donor conception process
- Ongoing care — Continuity of care from conception planning through early pregnancy
