Many single individuals from Los Angeles and beyond turn to fertility care to have children. At California Fertility Clinic, we support women and men who are ready to pursue parenthood independently. Some arrive with a specific treatment in mind, and others need help figuring out where to start. Either way, we focus on providing options that fit each person's situation and desires.
Single women can start with IUI, IVF, or egg freezing. Single men often need an egg donor and surrogate. Our team explains your options and helps plan the next steps.
Explore Our ServicesBegin your single motherhood journey by exploring different fertility treatments to find the family-building option right for you. Some start with IUI, while others choose IVF or decide to freeze their eggs for later. Your age, health history, and fertility goals will help determine the next steps.
Many single moms start with donor sperm IUI. During ovulation, our experienced reproductive endocrinologist injects the chosen donor sperm into the uterus using a thin, flexible catheter. The procedure is quick, performed in the clinic without anesthesia, and relatively affordable. If you have regular ovulation and no major fertility issues, donor sperm IUI may help you achieve pregnancy.
If IUI doesn’t work, IVF is often the next option. IVF lets you use your eggs together with donor sperm to create embryos.
The process starts with fertility medications. You take daily hormone shots for about 10 to 12 days. These help your ovaries grow multiple eggs at once.
Egg retrieval is the procedure used to collect the eggs. It is performed in the clinic and does not require an overnight stay.
In the lab, donor sperm fertilizes the eggs to create embryos. The embryo is transferred into your uterus once it has been deemed viable. IVF often offers higher success rates, especially for women over 35.
Single women often use donor sperm as part of their fertility treatment. It is required for both IUI and IVF.
Our clinic partners with trusted sperm banks. Every donor goes through a detailed screening. This includes medical and family history, as well as genetic and infectious disease testing.
When choosing a donor, some women want someone who shares a specific appearance. Others care more about health history, education, or background. Profiles list health, appearance, education, and other details. The sperm donor also needs to be compatible with the recipient's Cytomegalovirus (CMV) status.
If you have any questions, our staff will be happy to assist you throughout the process.
Egg freezing gives women the option to preserve fertility at a younger age. This option is ideal for women who want to preserve fertility and gain more time to find their partner.
The process starts with hormone medications that help the ovaries to mature eggs. The eggs are then collected and frozen.
In the future, frozen eggs can be fertilized with sperm to create embryos. This gives women more time and flexibility for family planning.
IVF is an option when getting pregnant takes time and other methods haven’t worked. Our team has over 20 years of experience and high success rates.
IVF Process →IUI is often the first step in fertility treatment, helping couples increase their chances of conception through targeted sperm placement.
IUI Treatment Details →You freeze your eggs during your most fertile years. That way, you keep the option to get pregnant later.
Thinking About Egg Freezing? →Single fatherhood is becoming more common. Men can have biological children through donor eggs and surrogacy, even without a partner. We see this opportunity being utilized by both heterosexual and homosexual men.
CFC Fertility Clinic assists with every part of the process. We help select donor eggs, coordinate with gestational carriers, and manage legal steps to confirm parental rights.
Single fathers use donor eggs in combination with a gestational carrier. Eggs from an anonymous or known donor are fertilized with the intended father's sperm. The embryos are tested and transferred into a gestational carrier.
Our team helps intended parents select the carrier through a screening and matching process. We help coordinate screenings and ensure the gestational carrier meets all medical and psychological requirements. Our staff also connects intended parents with trusted agencies and legal experts as needed.
Assisted reproduction involves legal steps to confirm parental rights. CFC Fertility Clinic assists patients by working with experienced attorneys who specialize in reproductive law.
Pre-birth orders and legal agreements are prepared before delivery. These documents confirm the intended parent's legal status and ensure parental rights from the start. California law recognizes single parents who have children through assisted reproduction.
Medical care is only one part of preparing for single parenthood. Many people feel anxious or overwhelmed as they take this step.
Our clinic offers counseling and connects patients with support groups to provide additional resources. Talking to others who have already become parents on their own can also be helpful.
CFC offers family options for singles who want to become parents. Available treatments include IUI, IVF, donor sperm, donor eggs, and surrogacy.
Your treatment plan depends on your health, age, and family-building goals. We also help patients find trusted surrogacy and egg donor agencies and attorneys for legal support.
