What is solo parent fertility?

Solo parent fertility offers a chance for people without partners to become parents with the help of assisted reproduction. You can create a baby using various methods to start or expand your family. 

The experts at Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine offer an array of treatments to help you achieve family planning goals. They tailor a plan offering high success rates.

Which solo parent fertility treatment is right for me?

Several different solo parent fertility options can help you become a parent without a partner. The Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine team meets with you to discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and goals.

They may complete a physical exam, order functional lab testing, and recommend imaging procedures if necessary to determine the type of fertility treatment you may be a candidate for.

Which solo parent fertility options are available?

Examples of solo parent fertility treatment options include:

Donor sperm

Donor sperm from someone you know or a sperm bank can be combined with your own or a donor egg to create an embryo. Donor sperm can also be introduced into a woman’s uterus via intrauterine insemination (IUI). 

Donor eggs

Combining donor eggs with sperm during in vitro fertilization (IVF) forms an embryo in a lab, which can be inserted into your or a surrogate mother’s uterus. 

Gestational carrier (surrogacy)

If you’re not able to or would rather not carry your developing baby, consider a gestational carrier (surrogacy) to grow and nourish your little one in their womb. 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for fertility

The experts at Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine offer PRP fertility to boost fertility in men and women. It uses a sample of your own blood to boost new cell growth.

IVF

During IVF treatment, sperm and eggs are combined in a lab to form an embryo, which is then transplanted into a woman’s uterus. 

Intrauterine insemination (IUI)

During IUI, sperm can be introduced into a woman’s body to create a baby.

Additional fertility treatments

Other naturopathic fertility treatments available at Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine include dietary supplements, acupuncture, moxibustion, hormone treatments, nutritional counseling, metabolic support, and Maya abdominal therapy. 

The experts at Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine specialize in women's and men’s health optimization and Chinese medicine. In addition to supporting solo parent fertility, the team provides infertility treatments for straight and queer couples.
