Fertility treatment for a 40 years old single woman

Thank you so much for your advice, I’ll have a look at the report, we’ll see what it says.

Hi Becky,

There are several types of fertility treatments and assisted reproductive techniques. The most widely used treatments, and therefore the best known in today’s society, are artificial insemination (AI), also known as intrauterine insemination (IUI), and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Each of these techniques is indicated for different patients and different fertility problems. Therefore, it is very important to be familiar with them and to know which treatment is the most appropriate to ensure success. In addition, your doctor will request several tests to establish the most appropriate and successful treatment for your particular case.

Broadly speaking, artificial insemination consists of the deposition of the semen inside the woman’s uterus and is a low-complexity technique required in mild fertility issues. In AI, egg fertilization takes place in the same way as in a natural conception. In IVF, however, the eggs are previously retrieved from the patient and subsequently fertilized in the laboratory and the resulting embryos are finally transferred back into the uterus. This technique is more complex than AI and indicated in severe fertility issues. Read more about the differences between IUI and IVF here: What is the Difference between IUI and IVF?

As you have stated that you want to become a single mother by choice, I recommend this post: How can I Get Pregnant Without a Man?
