The rise in single women and female couples seeking IVF treatment highlights shifting societal norms, yet many still face financial barriers to access necessary support.
In 2022, the number of single women receiving IVF increased to 4,800, and female couples reached 3,300, showing a clear shift towards diverse family planning.
Despite the growth in non-heterosexual family structures seeking fertility treatments, NHS funding has declined to just 27%, presenting significant challenges for these groups.
The HFEA report indicates higher birth success rates among single women and female couples, suggesting they pursue treatment for reasons other than infertility, compared to heterosexual couples.
