I always knew I wanted a family, but never quite knew when, or what my life would look like when I decided to begin. At 36 years old, I was single, I had a stable career, and decided the time was right. What I didn’t know, was how long and difficult family planning could be when going through assisted reproduction — especially starting in my late thirties. I was met with the hard realization that not only was my fertility quickly plummeting due to my age, but each individual attempt at pregnancy would cost thousands of dollars.

As a Vice President of Operations and Supply Chain, number crunching and meticulous planning come naturally. When I started trying to understand my options for assisted reproduction, I was completely lost. I knew I had to apply my research techniques to my fertility journey to assure the best chance at pregnancy at the lowest cost.

I spent countless hours doing research, talking to friends and family who had been through their own journeys, and exploring different scenarios. Finally, two years later, after multiple pregnancy attempts, I became a mom to my little heart and soul. My daughter, Juniper, was born in 2024 via IVF using donor sperm.

Throughout the process, despite my best attempts at careful planning, I still made many mistakes. Mistakes that were preventable and costly. And in speaking with others, I realized SO many people make the EXACT same mistakes, costing them upwards of $10,000 that they could have saved.

I decided it was time to help. I am here to help you decide what route of assisted reproduction is best for your family, and how to get there as cost-effectively as possible. Any fertility journey can be extremely challenging — but navigating your options does not have to be. I have created an easy guide to help educate you while saving you time, energy, and money.
