Wait, How Much?! Navigating the Financial World of Fertility Treatments with Claire Tomkins


Listen Later

Now WAIT—I know what you’re thinking… finance is probably your least favorite “F” word too. But when it comes to family planning and fertility treatments, it’s an important piece of the puzzle.

We’ve talked about the emotional side of fertility struggles and IVF on the show before, but today we’re pulling back the curtain on the financial reality. Because let’s be honest—things like IVF, egg freezing, and other treatments can be really expensive. And to make matters more complicated, insurance doesn’t always cover them. So what are we supposed to do?

This week, Claire Tomkins, CEO & Founder of Future Family (and mom of three via IVF) joins the show. After six rounds of IVF (and over $100K) to conceive her first child, she became passionate about making fertility care more accessible and founded Future Family to help others navigate the process.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ The real costs behind IVF, egg freezing, and other common fertility treatments
✨ Creative ways to make treatments more financially manageable
✨ The role of insurance and what to look out for in your benefits
✨ Claire’s personal advice for anyone thinking about or currently going through the process

If you or someone you love is exploring fertility treatments, this episode is a must-listen!
