Each case must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but normally, in cases of single women who do not show any signs of sterility, the technique of choice is artificial insemination.. This is because it is more comfortable for the patient and more economical, since fertilization occurs in the woman rather than in the laboratory and less hormonal medication is needed.
In cases where there is some indication that it will not be possible to achieve gestation through artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF) will be chosen. For example, if the woman has blocked fallopian tubes or low ovarian reserve, IVF is preferable.
