Kudos to Spring Fertility and NYU. Across Spring’s clinics, egg freezing cycles jumped 37% last year. This trend is visible nationwide, with the prototypical patient getting younger. Corporate benefits are driving this change. In 2015, only 5% of large employers covered egg freezing; by 2023, nearly one in five did. #CCRMFertility #FertilityPreservation #EggFreezing #CorporateBenefits https://lnkd.in/euJvnWwf

In 2023 only ~1 in 10 women have egg-freezing coverage 🤯 Fertility treatments in the US such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, and other related procedures can be expensive, ranging from $14K - $40K depending on the treatment and clinic. This means that a vast majority of women have to suffer through the financial stress of paying for treatments out of pocket which adds to the already significant emotional strain that comes with infertility. This reality highlights a pressing issue in the realm of reproductive healthcare and emphasizes the need for increased awareness, advocacy, and policy changes to improve access to fertility services.

The most common reason women think about fertility preservation is because they anticipate having children at an age later than what the female body intended. Some women may delay childbearing due to life circumstances – they haven’t met the right partner or they don’t feel financially ready to start a family. Egg freezing offers women the opportunity to preserve their fertility while pursuing personal and professional goals.

Today marks the beginning of #nfaw23 where, for the next week, we will be raising awareness of #fertilityissues.  The event provides a platform for open discussions, offering support and guidance to those facing difficulties in starting or expanding their families. It serves as a reminder of the importance of early education about fertility and empowers individuals to make informed choices about their reproductive health. National Fertility Awareness Week not only fosters understanding but also encourages compassion, reducing the stigma associated with fertility struggles and fostering a more inclusive and supportive society. Today we take time to focus on #fertilityfairness with a specific look at how the cost-of-living crisis is impacting those going through fertility treatment. Leading up to Fertility week, FNUK ran a cos-of-living survey to understand how the crisis has impacted fertility patients.  The survey found that 95% of respondents have or are experiencing financial worries relating to fertility treatment; with 92% reporting these problems were exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis For an issue defined by the World Health Organisation as a disease, and one that impacts all areas of life, it is vital that conversations around fertility treatment extend beyond the medical sphere. The number of women and couples using IVF continues to rise and for same-sex couples or single women, fertility treatment is often their only option to start a family. We know it can be difficult to manage moving towards starting your family during the current cost of living crisis and the NHS postcode lottery can only make matters worse. That’s why we are proud to offer payment plans, which helps make your dream of starting a family a reality.

Today is the beginning of The Fertility Networks' annual National Fertility Awareness Week. This week is an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges and complexities surrounding fertility and reproductive health. During this week, ourselves and many other communities and organisations will come together to shed light on the emotional, medical, and societal aspects of fertility issues We’re starting the week off by addressing #fertilityfairness and the impact the cost-of-living crisis has had on people going through fertility treatment. Leading up to Fertility week, FNUK ran a cos-of-living survey to understand how the crisis has impacted fertility patients.   The survey found that 49% reported being unable to move forward with their treatment due to a combination of the cost-of-living crisis, lack of NHS funding and high cost of private treatment. Depending on the area you live in, the amount of IVF funding available on the NHS varies considerably. At abc ivf we aim to provide affordable treatment options as well as payment plan, to make growing your family less stressful and more manageable.

Unified affiliate CCRM Fertility recently released results from their inaugural Black Fertility Matters survey* on the experiences of Black women and men related to fertility health. It revealed several racial and cultural barriers that impede access to quality fertility care and treatment for the Black community, preventing many from achieving their family planning goals. Most notably, more than half (57%) of respondents believe Black individuals are less likely to seek fertility treatment, and 26% experienced racial/cultural bias when seeking fertility treatment.

BBC News interviewed our Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Cristina Hickman, and other leaders in the field on all things #eggfreezing. 🥚 AI-based tools, like Fairtility’s CHLOE OQ, provide a personalized assessment of each egg’s fertility potential before freezing. By giving women transparent and personalized information about their fertility health and eggs, they are enabled to make more informed family planning decisions. In the words of Elizabeth King, Certified Fertility Health Coach and Educator, "Being educated in your own body and what you are working with can only help in the long run. But while these services have important benefits and can offer peace of mind and a form of insurance for future fertility, it's crucial that they're provided with clear, balanced information without exploiting fears or insecurities."
