How do you consciously become a single mother?

Imke Courtois announced that she was consciously becoming a single mother and she did not rush into it. A decision like that requires a lot of mental preparation.

Preparation

To become a single mother by choice, you need to find a hospital that offers artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID). In Belgium, there are a number of them: UZ Gent, UZ Brussel, UZ Leuven, UZ Antwerpen, ZNA Antwerpen, Jan Palfijn Gent, LIFE Leuven, ZOL Genk and AZ Sint-Jan Brugge. Some of them only start the process with women from the age of 30, others help women from the age of 25.

In the hospital, you will first have a conversation with the gynaecologist and then with the psychologist. He or she will assess to what extent you are ready for single parenthood. The psychologist will make this evaluation based on independence, maturity, financial security, presence of a network,… If you get the green light, you can start with KID.

Procedure

Belgium works with sperm from anonymous donors. The fertility center determines the donor based on desired characteristics that you provide. Another option is that you bring in a donor yourself who is medically screened in the hospital.

If you have no medical problems, you will be inseminated once a month during ovulation. With a natural cycle, only one egg matures. Sometimes, mild hormones are used that you have to inject yourself. This way, two or more eggs can mature. Doctors can predict the exact moment of ovulation using ultrasound scans and blood tests, both with a natural cycle and with hormone stimulation.

For the insemination itself, the gynaecologist places a duckbill and inserts the donor sperm high into the uterus. This only takes five minutes. You can go home immediately afterwards. Some women suffer from cramps, vaginal discharge or light blood loss.

If after two weeks it turns out that you are not pregnant, you can repeat the procedure at the next ovulations, until you are pregnant. Per cycle you have a chance of success of 10 to 15 percent, depending on the quality of the sperm.

Cost price

The medical treatments that go with KID are largely reimbursed by the health insurance. These include consultations, ultrasounds, blood tests, insemination, etc.

The costs for purchasing and storing donor sperm are not reimbursed. During the intake interview you will receive information about how much a treatment will cost you exactly.
