These virgins are having babies through IVF treatment at clinics across Britain. At least 25 women have given birth in the past five years despite never having had sex. From Clinics report, some clients spend as much as £5,000 on this fertility treatment to have children now but save themselves for 'Mr Right'.
“The number of single women I see has doubled over the past decade and single women now account for at least 10% of my patients. A lot are in their 20s, sometimes studying or doing very ordinary jobs and often living with their parents, rather than career women who have been driven and focused too much on their work. When I ask why they are coming for treatment, often the response is they are ready to have a child and don’t want to wait for the right partner. A small percentage have never been in a relationship and never had intercourse.”All such IVF treatment is funded privately as NHS help for IVF is only given to women who have been trying to get pregnant for two years or more.
