Our thanks to Mike P for this. The start of the piece:

A record number of single women are starting a family on their own using IVF.

The number of IVF attempts by women having a baby without a partner has almost quadrupled in a decade.

Experts say many modern women may be struggling to find ‘Mister Right’, as they meet men who are unsuitable [J4MB translation: not sufficiently well-off for them] or refuse to have children.

More than half of IVF attempts by single women are for those aged 40 and over, with almost one in 10 cycles given to women over the age of 44.
