Cofertility

All of us at Cofertility are excitedly following along AOC's egg freezing journey. Check out what Lauren Makler, our CEO and Co-founder, has to say about its impact (and our recent mention in Gothamist). #EggFreezing #ReproductiveRights #FamilyPlanning #IVF

Earlier this year, Lauren sat down with Christina Farr on Lifers to talk all things Cofertility, and that includes a myth we hear all the time: that egg donation can be anonymous. Watch the clip to hear Lauren’s take, then catch the full conversation, linked in comments. We're pushing for change in an industry that's ripe for it, starting with being honest about what anonymity actually means today. More on this myth (and others) here: https://lnkd.in/ejK_X4ze

We do these things not because they’re good for business, but because they are good for the humans we are helping bring into this world and the incredible people involved. As it should be. 💚 #Fertility #EggDonation #EggFreezing #IVF

Happy National Parents' Day. To every family that took a different road to get here, through egg donation, fertility treatment, years of patience, or some combination of all three. To the families still waiting for their moment: we’re with you, and we're rooting for you. Parenthood looks different for a lot of people in our community. We think that's worth celebrating. 💚 #NationalParentsDay #EggDonation #FamilyBuilding #Cofertility

On July 25, 1978, Louise Brown became the world's first IVF baby, and the path to parenthood expanded for millions. Today, that science includes egg donation, making it possible for families to grow in ways that simply weren't available a few decades ago. Including families where a child is genetically connected to at least one parent. On World IVF Day, we're thinking about the science that made it possible, and every family it has helped build.

It’s true. Most traditional egg banks don't have a limit on the number of families one donor's eggs can go to. At Cofertility, we cap it at 3. That's because if and when donor-conceived children decide to meet their half-siblings, we want that to be a positive moment, not an overwhelming one. This is just one of the ways we’re different from traditional egg banks. Head to our site where we debunk common myths and share what egg banks don’t want you to know: https://lnkd.in/gV8cCht8 #EggDonor #EggDonation #Fertility #FamilyBuilding #InfertilityAwareness

The egg donation industry has run the same way for decades. We think it's time the people living through it had more of a say. Our CEO and co-founder, Lauren Makler breaks down what other eggs banks don't want you to know, and how we built Cofertility to put donors and intended parents at the center of every decision. #EggDonation #EggSharing #FamilyBuilding #Cofertility

July is Fibroid Awareness Month. 1 in 5 women will develop fibroids in their lifetime. Most of us were never taught that. They're common, often manageable, and don't automatically mean infertility. But misinformation about fibroids is everywhere, and a lot of people don't get clear answers until they're already deep into a diagnosis. If you've noticed symptoms, or you just want to understand your own risk, it's worth bringing up with your OB-GYN at your next visit. You don't need to wait for something to feel wrong to ask. To learn more about fibroids, check out our blog: https://lnkd.in/gQkhA94y #FibroidAwarenessMonth #Fibroids #Cofertility #EggFreezing #EggDonation

Family building is changing fast. The numbers reflect it. The science is getting better. The options are expanding. And we're glad to be part of where the future of fertility is going. At Cofertility, our Split program lets women freeze their eggs for free when they donate to a family that cannot otherwise conceive. Our intended parents match with women genuinely motivated in donating. A model where both sides are working toward the same outcome. Family looks different than it used to. We think that's a good thing. #Fertility #Cofertility #EggDonation #IVF #FamilyBuilding

As of this past May, Connecticut made fertility care more accessible for LGBTQ+ families. The new law expands the state's definition of infertility to include the use of donor eggs or embryos, meaning LGBTQ+ families and single parents can now qualify for coverage that was previously out of reach.⁠ Coverage varies by plan, so it's worth checking your specific policy details.⁠ Access shouldn't depend on your zip code, your insurance plan, or who you love. Progress is slow, but when it happens, it's worth noting.⁠ If you're building your family through egg donation, we'd love to be a part of your story. 💚 #FertilityEquality #HB5374 #ConnecticutFertility #LGBTQIAFamily #EggDonation #FertilityAccess⁠
