The Costs of IVF: Financing Your Fertility Journey

This episode is what happens when financial planning and family planning have a baby. Why is it that egg-freezing and IVF feel like buzzwords; distant things that are only relevant once we (or the people we care about) start to consider the options? This changes now. Joining us on this week’s Deep Dive is sought-after fertility specialist and friend of the pod, Doctor Nicole Hope. The Medical Director at Newlife IVF has helped people to conceive and grow families for the last 20 years. Naturally, we pitched her all of your spicy DMs about financing your fertility journey, covering costs, rebates and whether you can tap into your super to fund it all.  From payment options to insurances and the difference between various treatments, tune-in for an in-depth discussion about the economics of fertility with Newlife IVF. CW: During this episode we discuss pregnancy and fertility; topics that some of our listeners might find confronting or triggering. If this is true for you, we recommend skipping the episode until you’re ready to return to it, or simply tuning in for next week’s Deep Dive. Please do what feels right for you.
