On the Mumsnet Donor Conception forum, you can discuss sperm and egg donation with people in the same situation.

Hello 😊. I’m a 35 year old single woman who hasn’t met the right person yet and I didn’t want to miss out on my chance to become a mother either so I decided to go it alone through a donor.
I went through the London women’s clinic (there’s a few branches across the U.K.) but there was no financial support so I had to pay for the treatment myself.
I now have 16 week old triplets - we have twins in the family but not triplets so it was a HUGE shock and it is beyond hard at the moment with them. Thankfully I have a very supportive family who are helping out as much as they can alongside their own commitments but it is still so so hard.
If you do decide to go it alone, good luck but please make sure you put a lot of thought into it 😊
