Single women seeking motherhood

Fulfilling Your Dream of Having a Child on Your Own Terms

 

For many women, having a child of their own is one of the most important life goals. At the same time, some women today face a reality in which the right partner has not yet been found, time is passing, and the desire to have a child remains.

As a result, more and more women are consciously choosing to fulfill this dream without being in a partnership. With the support of modern reproductive medicine and donor sperm, the path to having a child of your own can become possible.

At our fertility clinic, we guide you step by step and explain the medical options available to you.

 

 

What Treatment Options Are Available?

 

For single women, treatment is generally carried out using donor sperm. Depending on your medical situation, the following methods may be considered:

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with donor sperm

IVF or ICSI with donor sperm

You can find further information on our Donor Sperm Treatment page.

 

 

Legal Considerations

 

For fertility treatment of single women, donor sperm from licensed sperm banks is used. In Germany, these sperm banks are subject to strict medical and legal regulations.

 

All treatments are documented accordingly. Children conceived through sperm donation have the legal right, under the German Sperm Donor Register Act, to obtain information about their genetic donor later in life, generally from the age of 16.

 

The woman who gives birth to the child is legally recognized as the child's sole mother. The sperm donor assumes no legal or financial responsibility for the child, nor does the treating physician.

 

You do not need a guarantor or supporting person. However, as part of our holistic approach to care, our clinic requires that, in addition to medical counseling with your physician, you obtain psychosocial counseling (for example through the BKid network) and legal advice (from a family law specialist) before treatment begins.

 

 

Costs and Financing

 

Fertility treatment for single women is generally a self-pay service.

At present, statutory health insurance providers in Germany do not cover the costs of treatments using donor sperm. The total cost depends on the treatment method chosen. Insemination with donor sperm is usually in the three-digit euro range per cycle, whereas IVF or ICSI treatments involve higher costs. Additional expenses include donor sperm from a sperm bank and, where applicable, medication.

 

We will discuss a detailed and transparent cost breakdown during your personal consultation. If there is no medical indication for treatment (for example, blocked fallopian tubes), the treatment is subject to value-added tax (VAT).
