💙 Fertility Options for Single Women

You don’t need a partner to start building your family. We support single women on their path to parenthood with evidence-based, compassionate care.

Here are some of the most common fertility options available:

🧬 Donor S***m – Using carefully selected donors through IUI or IVF
💉 Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – Placing donor s***m directly into the uterus around ovulation
🧪 In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) – Combining eggs with donor s***m in the lab, then transferring an embryo to the uterus
❄️ Egg Freezing – Preserving your eggs today for use in the future, if you’re not quite ready yet

✨ Every journey is unique. Whether you’re ready now or planning ahead, our team are here to guide you through your options with clarity and care.

🧬 What is a Semen Analysis?

As Embryologist Tilly explains, a semen analysis looks at the key qualities of s***m, including:
🔹 Sample volume
🔹 S***m concentration
🔹 Number of motile (moving) s***m

These results are then reviewed by your clinician, who will discuss what they mean and guide you towards the best treatment options for your journey.

It’s a simple but important step in understanding male fertility health. 💙

🩺 Understanding PCOS & Fertility

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition, affecting around 1 in 10 women. It can impact fertility, particularly by affecting ovulation.

Some signs that may suggest PCOS include:
🔹 Irregular periods
🔹 Weight gain that’s hard to shift
🔹 Oily skin or frequent breakouts
🔹 Unwanted hair growth

If you experience any of these, it’s worth seeking further investigation to confirm a diagnosis and explore treatment options.

💙 At Life Fertility Melbourne, we’re here to provide compassionate care and support for women managing PCOS on their fertility journey.

🙃 “Just Relax and You’ll Get Pregnant”

It’s one of the most common fertility myths and it always makes Dr Rebecca Mackenzie Proctor smile.

💬 “It’s like saying, ‘Don’t think about the pink elephant in the room.’ The more you try not to, the more you do! Telling someone ‘don’t stress’ just makes them stress about not stressing.”

While relaxation and self-care can support overall wellbeing, infertility is a medical condition and it often needs personalised care and treatment not clichés.

💙 At Life Fertility Melbourne, we’re here to listen, support and guide you with science and compassion every step of the way.

This couch has been witness to so many stories - the nervous moments, the hopeful glances, the tears of joy, and the quiet strength held in between. It’s held feelings big and small, happy endings and hopeful beginnings alike. Every person who’s sat here has added to its story, making it a special part of our journey together.

Making our centres recognisable isn’t a bad thing - it’s a collection of memories, love, and resilience all in one place 💞

💡 Who Might Consider Egg Freezing?

Women in their 20s or early-to-mid 30s who aren’t ready to start a family yet

Those focusing on career, travel, or personal goals

Anyone facing medical treatments (e.g., chemotherapy) that may affect fertility or delay trying to conceive

Those with a family history of early menopause or low ovarian reserve

🔍 How Does It Work?

Consultation & Testing – Assessment of your ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health

Ovarian Stimulation – Medication encourages multiple eggs to mature

Egg Retrieval – A short, minimally invasive procedure collects the eggs

Freezing – Eggs are preserved through vitrification, a rapid-freeze method that protects their quality

🕒 When’s the Best Time?

The ideal time for egg freezing is in your early 30s, when egg quality and quantity are at their best. While it can be done later, earlier freezing generally offers stronger chances for future pregnancy.

✨ At Life Fertility Melbourne, we provide personalised advice, leading science, and compassionate care to help you make the choice that’s right for you.
