Every year, more single women undergo fertility treatments to become mothers, opting mainly for artificial insemination. This method is common in women in their 30s and 40s and there are many reasons to make this important decision.

At Citmer we share with you some basics about artificial insemination for single women in Mexico.

Procedure

Insemination is an assisted reproduction treatment that consists of depositing capacitated sperm in the bottom of the patient’s uterus. Considered one of the most effective infertility treatments, many women have experienced the joy of motherhood through it.

Unlike women with a partner, who can often perform the treatment with their partner’s sperm, single women opt for artificial insemination using donor sperm (AID), i.e. using a Sperm Bank.

Steps of AID in Citmer:

1. On the first visit, an assisted reproduction specialist carries out various studies to diagnose whether you are a candidate for insemination treatment.
2. In the following visits, we perform ovarian stimulation to accurately plan the insemination.
3. We thaw a donor sperm sample with the physical characteristics most similar to those of our patient.
4. We then select the best spermatozoa using the sperm capacitation technique (which selects and improves the ability of the selected spermatozoa to fertilize the egg).
5. We inseminate the capacitated spermatozoa into the fundus of the uterus by means of an incredibly soft catheter that does not disturb during the process.
6. We perform a pregnancy test 14 days after the insemination.

Perhaps the most delicate aspect of unmarried women’s pregnancy is the emotional aspect. Nowadays, you can fully experience motherhood without a partner, but it is essential to receive emotional support during the process, not only from people close to you, but also from specialists in emotional accompaniment from the clinic you choose.

To overcome any fear or doubt, an emotional support system is especially important, including family, friends and health professionals who encourage your decision. There are even social networks that can provide you with maternal accompaniment.

There is also the economic factor: an unmarried woman who wishes to have a baby through assisted reproduction needs to be prepared financially. In this aspect, it is advisable to look for a fertility clinic that ensures the success of your pregnancy in the least number of attempts possible.

Although insemination has gained acceptance among unmarried women, we understand that there are challenges to living through motherhood without a partner. However, if you have decided to live this experience, do not hesitate to go ahead with this valuable decision, facing it with pride and confidence.
