In Part 2 of the Cofertility interview with CEO and co-founder Lauren Makler, the three discuss the amazing work the company is doing to help women and families on their reproductive journey. First, Danielle shares that she’s feeling much more energized following her low iron diagnosis and that the dynamic duo will soon be taking the next step in their journey: starting hormones! The three discuss the stigma and assumptions surrounding egg freezing and the reasons that people should see it as an empowering option to eliminate the pressures of their biological timing. Cofertility aims to make egg freezing accessible to everyone, so Lauren dives into the options available through Freeze by Co's Keep and Split programs. Offering people the option to freeze for free by donating half of their eggs, she shares the process of enrolling in the Split program, how it works to store for free, the process of being matched, and what it looks like if people want siblings. For those who are not interested in donating their eggs or do not qualify, Lauren discusses the Keep Program and the various financial options available to make egg freezing more accessible. The hosts are thrilled to have Lauren back for Part 2!
