Single Mom to be

Becoming a single mom is now an option many women choose for various reasons. Independent parenthood presents unique challenges for many women seeking to start a family on their own. Chawla Nursing Home & Maternity Hospital offers different options to help you achieve your goal, and we guide you through the entire process from beginning to completion.

STARTING THE PROCESS

There are many things to take into account when you are considering independent parenthood. You will need a sperm donor. Chawla Nursing Home works very closely with the highest quality sperm banks nationwide. We can help guide you in the selection process.

Regardless of whether you choose a donor yourself or select one from the sperm bank, each donor is screened extensively for infectious diseases according to FDA guidelines. Genetic screenings are also part of the process. A brief medical and family history must also be obtained from the sperm donor. When you select sperm from a qualified sperm bank, the sample has already gone through the required quarantine and screening process.

INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION OR IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

Chawla Nursing Home offers IUI and IVF treatments. The IUI procedure involves inserting donor sperm directly inside the uterus by the physician. IVF requires your eggs to be removed from your body. They are then fertilized by donor sperm in the laboratory where they are cultured and returned to the uterus.

Your initial consultation and fertility evaluation will be used as a guide in determining the best options for your treatment. After deciding which option is best, the next step is to select a sperm source. Some women choose to ask a family friend to be the donor while others prefer the anonymity of the sperm bank.

Independent parenthood is not for everyone. For those who pursue this route, Chawla Nursing Home & Maternity Hospital can make the journey getting there easier. In addition to a variety of treatment options, we also offer financial options to help make this journey affordable.
