She walks listeners through the economic realities of starting IVF in the U.S., including insurance gaps, out-of-pocket costs, fertility grants, and why access to care often depends on your employer or zip code.Thank you to The Stork Foundation for knowledgeable insights, grant resources, and hopeful contributions to future families seeking fertility treatments.
