The Shocking True Cost of Single Motherhood by Choice – And How You Can Beat the Odds
Ever wondered what it really costs to become a single mom by choice? Imagine surviving on just €40 a week during treatment, only to face a whopping bill of €25,000 at the end. That’s exactly the story shared in a recent eye-opening article from The Independent, revealing the soaring financial burden many single women in Ireland endure while pursuing motherhood alone. The number of women choosing this path has surged by over 50% in just a year, spotlighting both the dream and the struggle of solo parenthood.
But here’s the burning question: Is there a way to chase that dream without breaking the bank? Spoiler alert — yes, there is, and it’s transforming the fertility landscape.
Why Are Costs So Astronomical?

The emotional toll is just as heavy. Imagine budgeting every penny, stretching your resources to the limit, all while hoping for a miracle.
