Cofertility for Clinic Partners
A zero-cash compensation egg donor matching platform
Who is Cofertility?
Cofertility is a human-first fertility ecosystem rewriting the egg freezing and egg donation experience. Through our unique egg sharing model, egg donors do not receive any cash compensation as part of their donation. Instead, they undergo a split cycle where they donate half of the eggs retrieved and then freeze and store the other half for up to 10 years entirely for free.
This model offers intended parents an option that aligns with their values and helps both parties take meaningful steps toward their family building goals.
Why your patients love Cofertility
How it works
Share information about Cofertility through your preferred egg donation organization list (we can also help you get the word out through digital or print brochures, events, and more)
Intended parents create a free Cofertility account to view donors available to match
Cofertility will work with the intended parent to find a match that’s aligned with their preferences and family building goals
Once your patient has selected a donor, we will share the match information with your team and begin coordination of the screening at your clinic
The benefits of partnering with Cofertility
Quickly match intended parents with a qualified egg donor
Each intended parent has their own distinct preferences and requirements. With our proven track record of attracting diverse egg donors, we can help assist your clinic in meeting the needs of a wider spectrum of intended parents.
All cycles are managed in accordance with your existing clinic protocols
We’ll have a dedicated onboarding session to document any clinic-specific protocols or SOPs. Everything from donor screening to travel will be done in complete alignment with your standard clinical, operational, and financial processes.
Transparent and responsive team of Member Advocates
Throughout the cycle, our team of Member Advocates will offer administrative and emotional guidance to the donor and intended parent and serve as a liaison between both parties and the clinic.

Cofertility Partners with Carrot Fertility to Expand Fertility Benefits Coverage for Members
The last few decades have brought incredible advancements in reproductive technologies – egg freezing has taken off since the experimental label was removed in 2012 and more people than ever are building their families through egg donor IVF. But despite ground-breaking innovations, high costs associated with fertility services still prevent many people from moving forward with treatment.
The last few decades have brought incredible advancements in reproductive technologies – egg freezing has taken off since the experimental label was removed in 2012 and more people than ever are building their families through egg donor IVF. But despite ground-breaking innovations, high costs associated with fertility services still prevent many people from moving forward with treatment.
At Cofertility, our mission is to make egg freezing and third party reproduction more accessible and empowering. Through our Split program, women can freeze their eggs for free when they donate half of the eggs retrieved to Intended Parents. By removing cash compensation, which has historically varied based on a donor’s personal, professional, and even medical background, our model makes family building through egg donation more human-centered and accessible.
Still, there are myriad costs associated with the egg donation process – which is why we’re so proud to announce our partnership with Carrot Fertility, a fertility benefits provider that’s paving the way forward in making fertility care more accessible.
Coverage for fertility treatment
Insurance coverage for egg freezing and IVF – and in particular, donor egg IVF – is nuanced, dependent on several policy- and geography-specific factors, among others. What’s more, some services like elective egg freezing are left out of those policies in their entirety. In recent years, employers have filled some of these coverage gaps by contracting with companies that offer fertility benefits.
Carrot Fertility is one such company that takes a flexible approach to fertility benefits. Carrot partners with employers and health plans to offer cash reimbursement for fertility services. They work closely with each employer or health plan customer to build a benefit offering for those companies’ employees or enrollees that includes a specific scope of services and puts a limit on total reimbursement allowed.
Carrot “members” are those individuals whose employers or health plans have contracted with Carrot. Members can use their allotted Carrot benefit to pay for fertility services. In some cases, members will pay out of pocket and get reimbursed for care. In other cases, they are provided with a Carrot Card (physical or digital) that eliminates the need for individuals to even pay upfront for treatment.
What we love about their model:
- Customizable: Carrot allows employers to customize coverage based on their budget and their employees' needs, a model that underscores how there is no one-size-fits all when it comes to fertility.
- Broad coverage: Carrot’s comprehensive platform typically covers a range of fertility services, including egg freezing and donor egg treatments. The scope of service and overall budget is set by the employer.
- Flexible payment: They offer a Carrot Card so that members can easily pay for care without having to front the cash themselves.
- Personalized member experience: Carrot has a robust care navigation team that provides members with personalized Carrot plans and offers individualized support throughout their family building journeys.
Benefits for Cofertility and Carrot members
Carrot works with hundreds of companies, providing their employees with evidence-based support and reimbursement for services rendered across their fertility journeys.
As a Carrot Partner, fees paid to Cofertility as part of a fertility journey are also eligible for cash reimbursement through Carrot.
What’s more, Cofertility Intended Parents with Carrot benefits are also eligible to receive a discount off the Cofertility Coordination Fee. You can reach out to your Cofertility Member Advocate to learn more about how you can take advantage of this discount. We can also share a list of questions to ask your care advocate to help you understand the full picture of your benefits.
And if you’re a Cofertility Keep member with Carrot benefits, our team is happy to help you select a clinic and make the most of your benefits.
Whether Carrot or another benefit provider, we recommend speaking with your employer’s benefit team or your benefit provider’s patient care advocate to gain a clearer understanding of the coverage available to you.

We are particularly committed to supporting LGBTQ+ people’s path to parenthood and are excited to announce our recent partnership as a Gays with Kids (GWK) official Family Building Partner.
Why Gays with Kids
Founded in 2014, GWK is the world’s largest and only resource, website, and social network dedicated exclusively to serving the needs of gay, bi, and trans dads and dads-to-be. GWK’s mission is to inspire, inform and guide gay, bi, and trans men throughout their journey of family building. They support hopeful and current dads to live their best authentic lives while navigating fatherhood.
Through the Gays with Kids Academy, webinars, and other in-person events, GWK educates gay and queer men about their options for becoming dads, and then guides them along each step of their journey.
We understand that while the path to parenthood isn’t necessarily the same for everyone, the desire to have a family can be. Egg donation is an essential part of LGBTQ+ family planning and our Family by Co platform makes egg donation more accessible, human and community driven.
With this partnership, Cofertility joins an exclusive network of vetted family-building partners representing the best-of-the-best in surrogacy and IVF service providers.
What’s next?
Given our own commitment to education, we’re excited to be featured in the Gays with Kids Academy “Surrogacy and IVF Course.” We’re also co-hosting a webinar focused on the benefits of disclosure, a topic that we know is top of mind for many hopeful dads. We’re happy to send the recording and if you’re a hopeful dad interested in learning more about GWK, we’re happy to make the connection.
Cofertility is a human-first fertility ecosystem rewriting the egg freezing and egg donation experience. Our Family by Co platform serves as a more transparent, ethical egg donor matching platform. We are obsessed with improving the family-building journey — today or in the future — and are in an endless pursuit to make these experiences more positive.

Our Partnership with TMRW: Why Proper Frozen Egg Storage Matters
At Cofertility, our mission is to make egg freezing and third-party reproduction more accessible, transparent, and human-centered. And while it’s too often overlooked, we firmly believe that this mission must extend to frozen egg and embryo storage.
At Cofertility, our mission is to make egg freezing and third-party reproduction more accessible, transparent, and human-centered. And while it’s too often overlooked, we firmly believe that this mission must extend to frozen egg and embryo storage.
We’re proud to partner with TMRW Life Sciences, a fertility technology company automating the IVF lab, with the world's first automated solution for storing and managing frozen eggs and embryos.
A new standard in frozen egg storage
To date, frozen eggs and embryos have been stored in liquid nitrogen tanks. These tanks often sit in the back of a supply closet or in a basement storage facility and are manually maintained by lab staff. Despite everyone’s best intentions and without any alternative storage options, manual processes can leave the door open to errors like specimen mix-ups or accidental thawing.
What’s more, patients rarely have visibility into what storage entails where frozen specimens are physically stored after their retrieval. You have the power to ask.
TMRW's ground-breaking automated technology platform digitally identifies, tracks, monitors and stores patients' frozen eggs and embryos with safety, accuracy, efficiency and transparency. TMRW's platform sets a new standard of care by reducing potential points of failure by 94% compared with manual systems.
So what is TMRW doing differently?
- Digital labeling - instead of handwritten labels, TMRW uses digital labeling and RFID tracking. With this tracking system, clinics always know exactly where your eggs and embryos are and can easily find them when you’re ready to use them.
- Automated management - instead of relying on manual processes, TMRW has a new fully-automated digital storage system that helps eliminate 94% of potential failure points
- Real-time inventory - TMRW has gone the extra mile by creating a 24/7 cloud-based monitoring system with real-time inventory updates to provide new levels of safety, transparency, and peace of mind.
- Active monitoring - TMRW provides 24/7 digital monitoring (thousands of daily checks!) and expert human oversight to identify potential issues before they become a problem.
Benefits to Cofertility members
As part of our partnership, TMRW offers all Cofertility members access to preferred rates at their biorepository facility. After the journey you’ve been through — whether egg freezing or embryo creation — we think you deserve peace of mind at a more reasonable cost.
For Freeze by Co members:
Both our Split and Keep members can take advantage of TMRW’s next generation frozen egg storage.
As part of our Split program, the intended parents who you match with will sponsor 10 years of storage through TMRW. If you’re in the Split program, you don’t need to do anything in order to take advantage of this partnership. In the days leading up to your retrieval, we’ll talk you through the details and make sure the clinic has everything they need to facilitate the shipment.
If, after those ten years, you want to re-up your storage you’re welcome to do so and will start to pay out of pocket at that point. If at any point you are ready to move your eggs out of storage, they can be shipped to any clinic. While prices can vary, we expect shipping costs to range between $600 - $1,000. And of course, if you have questions in the meantime, please send them our way.
As part of the Keep program, you’ll have access to 5- and 10-year storage plans through TMRW, though of course you may take your eggs out of storage within those timeframes.
We often say that the best time to freeze your eggs is when you are least likely to afford it. On top of cycle fees, many are surprised to learn how expensive egg storage can be. In some cases, storage can run upwards of $1,000 a year. We think you deserve a better option and we’re excited to get that to you through our TMRW partnership.
If you’re a Keep member, you can leverage this benefit regardless of where your egg freezing cycle takes place. If you’re interested in working with TMRW or want to learn more before you get started on your journey, just send us an email. We can share our preferred rates and make sure you get tapped into that benefit as you’re planning for your egg freezing cycle.
For Family by Co members:
When you match with a Cofertility donor, you’re enabling her to freeze her eggs and have them stored with TMRW for up to 10 years. But beyond that, you’ll also get access to TMRW’s incredible embryo storage options at their preferred partner discounted rates.
We understand how much you’ve put into your family building journey and want you to feel confident that your most precious embryos are safely stored and managed. If you’re weighing the benefits of working with TMRW, we’re happy to answer any questions you may have — you can email us at support@cofertility.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who stores the eggs that the donor keeps?
Cofertility partnered with TMRW Life Sciences to store the donor’s portion of the eggs. The Intended Parent pays a fixed, one-time fee to cover up to 10 years of storage at TMRW. If the donor prefers to keep the eggs frozen at your clinic or another facility, she’ll have the same one-time fee to put toward her storage.
Will the donor travel to my clinic?
Yes, all donors are made aware of the possibility of travel and have shared any restrictions that would prevent them from doing so. If your patient matches with a donor who is not local to your clinic, we can arrange for her to come to your clinic as necessary for screening and during her retrieval. Intended parents will be responsible for the cost of travel and will be counseled as such.
Where are the donors based?
We have donors spread across the US. If your patients are looking for a donor in a specific city or region, we’re happy to help them narrow down their search.
How many clinics currently partner with Cofertility?
Cofertility members have cycled with over 50 clinics across the U.S. - and counting!
How does the lab split the eggs?
The mature eggs will always be split evenly between the donor and the intended parent. If there is an odd number of eggs retrieved, the additional egg will always go to the intended parent. While there is no minimum number of eggs guaranteed, if the intended parents do not receive any viable embryos they are eligible for a free rematch as part of our Baby Guarantee.
Will my patients receive enough eggs with an egg sharing model like Cofertility?
Egg-share programs, like Cofertility’s, implement meticulous testing and medical screening to ensure donors have a high likelihood of retrieving enough eggs to support the intended parents and their own family building goals. We screen donors’ AMH up front and require that donors have an AMH of at least 2.0 to remain active on the platform. When do Cofertility donors undergo genetic and psychological testing?
Yes. Upon matching, we will work with your clinic to have the donor complete a genetic carrier screening test and a psychological evaluation in line with your clinic’s protocol. If anything comes up in that screening that makes you hesitant to move forward with her as a donor, the intended parents can rematch with a new donor at no additional fee.
What are your retrieval outcomes?
At Cofertility, the average number of mature eggs a family receives and fertilizes from one donation cycle is 12*. Though many intended parents can achieve their family building goal with one cycle, some opt to complete two cycles with the donor. *As of April 2024
