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.

At Cofertility, she’s passionate about guiding members through their family-building journeys, making sure they feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
Let's get to know Allie better:
Q: What drew you to working at Cofertility?
I was drawn to working at Cofertility after going through my own egg freezing journey. The process felt incredibly empowering, both because it gave me a new level of appreciation for my body and also because I was investing in myself in a way I never had. At the time, I was working at a fertility clinic and fortunate enough to have access to the benefit for free, otherwise it would have been financially out of reach. Knowing that most people do not have that same privilege, Cofertility’s mission to make egg freezing accessible at no cost really resonated with me. The idea of helping more women experience the same sense of empowerment I did is what ultimately inspired me to join the team.
Q: Can you walk us through what a typical day looks like for you?
Most of my days start with a jog or bike ride in the wee hours of the morning when it's most peaceful and quiet outside. After that, I sit down with a cup of coffee (or three) and start my workday by checking in with any Split members who are actively in cycle or preparing for upcoming appointments. The rest of my day is a mix of meetings, emails, and coordinating cycle logistics. By late-afternoon, I usually get a case of the wiggles, so I’ll step outside for a short walk. I always circle back in the evening to make sure members’ nightly injections went smoothly, then I log off and enjoy some quiet downtime.
Q: What's the most rewarding part of supporting members through their family-building process?
The most rewarding part of supporting members through their journey is watching them gain a new sense of appreciation for their body. Whether it's conquering the injections that they were initially scared of, how fascinated they are by their growing follicles, or the feeling of accomplishment once they complete their retrieval, it’s amazing to see members feel so proud of themselves. Being part of the moment when someone’s perspective switches from worrying about their biological clock to appreciating how strong and capable their body is feels incredibly rewarding.
Q: Is there a particular member story that has stuck with you?
One member story that stands out is a Split member who came into the process feeling really unsure of herself. She was nervous about the injections, the retrieval, and whether she was even making the right decision. I spent a lot of time talking through each step, making sure she felt supported, informed and never pressured. After her retrieval, she reached out to tell me how proud she was, not just of the outcome, but of herself for getting through something that had felt so intimidating at the start. Connecting with and supporting members in a very real, vulnerable way always reminds me why I love working in this space.
Q: How do you approach supporting members who might be feeling anxious or uncertain?
It’s natural to feel anxious or uncertain about the egg freezing and donation process for many reasons. For those who are nervous about the idea of donating, I provide resources to help them make an informed decision, while also making myself available for any questions or concerns. For those anxious about injectable medications or the retrieval itself, I’ve often found that sharing my own personal experience can be comforting. Having gone through the process myself, I can validate their fears while also reassuring them that they are capable of doing it, and will be so glad they did.
Q: What's one thing you wish more people knew about egg donation?
I wish more people knew that egg donation can be mutually beneficial and equally life-changing for both the donor and the recipient, and that’s okay. A common misconception is that donors are only motivated by what they gain, whether that’s financial compensation or the opportunity to freeze their own eggs. In reality, donors are genuinely excited to help someone else build a family, and the fact that it also allows them to invest in themselves doesn’t take away from that. Egg donation doesn’t have to be transactional; it can be a meaningful, empowering experience for everyone involved.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting their family-building process, what would it be?
My advice would be to find a clinic, a doctor, and, if you're using donor eggs, an agency or egg bank you truly trust. The family-building process, especially when using an egg donor, can be a bumpy road, and having someone to advocate for you every step of the way is crucial. So much of this process is outside of your control, but being able to accept that while knowing your care team is doing everything possible to support you provides immense peace of mind.
Q: Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
Outside of work, you’ll typically find me outdoors and in the company of my friends. During the week, I’m often jogging through one of San Francisco's many parks or open water swimming in the SF Bay. On the weekends, you'll either find me mountain biking or camping in the summer and snowboarding in Tahoe in the winter. After I've thoroughly exhausted myself with a day full of activity, I enjoy cooking a nice meal and having a quiet evening of reading, watching tv or playing board games. Most importantly, I never end the day without a sweet treat.
Q: How do you practice self-care while supporting members through emotional moments?
When supporting members through emotional moments, I remind myself how much they are navigating and that I need to extend grace not only to them, but also to myself. I care deeply for our members, which sometimes means I carry the weight of their emotions on my back, especially when things don’t go as planned. In those moments, I remind myself that many parts of this process are beyond my control, but that I can still show up, support them, and keep doing the best job I can, even if I can’t change the outcome.
Q: What's one of your proudest moments as a Member Advocate?
One of my proudest moments as a Member Advocate was when I received very kind feedback from a Split member who, unfortunately, couldn’t move forward with our program. Because egg freezing is so financially inaccessible to many, not being able to participate in our program can feel like the end of the road for many of our Split members. This member specifically was equally disappointed that she wouldn’t be able to donate to a family, which she was really excited about. I talked with her about her options, both within and outside of Cofertility, and offered my ongoing support regardless of which path she chose. The Split member expressed a lot of gratitude for how supported she felt, just on a basic human level, and not just as a member of our program.

Let's get to know Xilo better:
Q: What drew you to working at Cofertility?
Since I can remember, I’ve known I wanted to take part in moving the needle in women’s health in ways that challenge the status quo. Learning about the high maternal mortality rate in the U.S. and how with the right resources, many such cases could have been prevented, drove my commitment to pursue a career where I could make a difference. When I discovered Cofertility, I was inspired by the mission to give young people the opportunity to freeze their eggs and empower them to choose parenthood on their own terms, and at a time that they can ensure they have the support and resources needed for a healthy, safe pregnancy. It felt like exactly the kind of innovative, impactful work that has the opportunity to make a real difference in the trajectory of a person’s life.
Q: Can you walk us through what a typical day looks like for you?
My days start with either a trip to the gym or a slower morning having my coffee outside and throwing the ball for my three dogs. Once I log on, I start by checking in on Split members who are in cycle or have upcoming screening appointments. I then work through my inbox, create my task list, and spend the rest of the day tackling those items with meetings, ongoing communication with members, and broader experience improvement work sprinkled in. For lunch, I love cooking something quick or putting together a yummy sandwich. I usually make an after lunch pick-me-up - lately it’s been matcha with coconut water and salted vanilla cold foam. :) Towards the end of the day, I review what I’ve completed, create follow-up tasks for the next day, and respond to any final messages before logging off, staying available to Split Members in-cycle via text or call. In the evenings, I try to take a walk around my neighborhood, even if it’s a quick one and usually end the night with a couple of episodes of my show of the moment.
Q: What's the most rewarding part of supporting members through their family-building process?
For me, the most rewarding part of supporting members is knowing the sense of relief we give them by helping them freeze their eggs early. I think about the exhale they get to take knowing they are not in a rush to have kids before they are ready. It means a lot to be a place of safety for them, somewhere they know is judgment-free to bring their questions or hesitations and talk through them. The conversations I get to have after members learn how many eggs have been frozen for them and hearing their excitement is one of my favorite parts of this job.
Q: Is there a particular member story that has stuck with you?
One of the matches I worked with early on at Cofertility truly touched my heart. The split member is such a wonderful human, pursuing her PhD, and the intended parents are equally as lovely. From their match meeting to liaising communication between them where they would exchange letters and photos leading up to the retrieval, it was such a joy to watch their relationship grow. I helped to coordinate a lunch before the retrieval, which made the experience extra special for them. I’d often find myself beaming at the screen while working on anything related to their journey, and even now, writing this, I can’t help but smile. They’re such a beautiful example of how with shared expectations about communication and a genuine connection, a match can really flourish, all while benefiting the split member’s fertility preservation and allowing the intended parents a real chance at growing their family.
Q: How do you approach supporting members who might be feeling anxious or uncertain?
When a Split member is feeling anxious or uncertain, making sure they feel heard and that they know their feelings are valid goes a really long way. After that, it is a matter of getting their questions answered and making sure they have the resources they need to feel like they are making informed decisions. Sometimes that means jumping on a call to really understand what is on their mind, and other times they may want to be pointed towards articles or set up with a call to speak to one of our partner physicians. At the base of every solution is listening, and I value the trust members place in me to guide them through such an important and emotional part of their journey.
Q: What's one thing you wish more people knew about egg donation?
I wish more people understood what a beautiful and mutually supportive journey egg donation can be, and how rewarding it feels not only for intended parents but also for donors. I hear from so many Split members who share how much they love receiving updates about the intended parents they matched with. Even those who have chosen undisclosed donations express excitement about being able to help intended parents in such a tremendous and meaningful way.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting their family-building process, what would it be?
Ask questions, and know that no question is too small or too simple. Advocate for yourself, especially if something is unclear, and seek out the information you need to feel confident in your decisions. Surround yourself with people who support your right to understand each step of the process. Be mentally prepared for unexpected hiccups along the way, and remember that patience can be one of your greatest strengths during this journey.
Q: Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
I love trying new coffee shops, grilling dinner in the summer with my boyfriend, making a stewy pot of beans in the winter, and going for walks around San Antonio to pop in to new restaurants and small locally owned grocers with fun new items to try. I like to thrift, both clothes and home finds. I enjoy tackling small DIY projects in my 1920s home like adding a fun pop of paint or rethinking the layout in a room. I have ten nieces and nephews who range between babies and college students and I love spending time with each of them as often as I can.
Q: How do you practice self-care while supporting members through emotional moments?
Finding balance in my day is probably the most impactful way I avoid feeling overwhelmed after a particularly emotional conversation. I make sure to build in slower moments, whether it’s working outside for a bit or or making an extra yummy lunch that day. It’s easy to carry the anxiety of wanting members to have the best, least stressful experience possible, but reminding myself that some things are out of my control helps me keep perspective. Exercise is also a big part of my self-care and that uninterrupted time to recharge and move my body allows me to show up fully for members.
Q: What's one of your proudest moments as a Member Advocate?
This is a tough question for me because I feel proud every day in my interactions with Split members and in being an advocate for them throughout this journey. I’m proud to log in each day knowing that the work Cofertility is doing is making a real difference in the lives of young women and intended parents, and that what I do directly impacts people in such a meaningful way. There’s no better feeling than waking up and knowing that you’re helping to create a higher standard of care for generations to come, one where people have choices, and where they’re truly advocated for and listened to regardless of who they are, what they look like, or who they choose to love.

Let's get to know Alice better:
Q: What drew you to working at Cofertility?
I first heard about Cofertility through a friend and was instantly drawn to the company’s mission of making egg freezing more accessible and reimagining egg donation in a more human-centered way. The uniqueness of Cofertility’s model stood out to me right away, and I felt compelled to be part of a team that’s transforming the third-party reproduction space. From my earliest conversations with team members, I could feel the passion, purpose, and energy they bring to their work and I knew I had to be part of it!
Q: Can you walk us through what a typical day looks like for you?
I have two dogs, so I start each morning by taking them out for a nice long walk. It’s my favorite part of the day and allows me to get my steps in and center myself before diving into my work. After settling in at my desk with a cup of coffee, I devote the first hour or so of my work day to catching up on emails and outlining my priorities for the day. From that point forward, my day usually consists of meeting with intended parents and Split members at different stages of their journeys, participating in team meetings, and dedicating time to working on initiatives to enhance our member experience. At Cofertility, no two days are the same, and the daily change of pace keeps me energized and on my toes.
Q: What's the most rewarding part of supporting members through their family-building process?
The immense amount of trust that members place in us as Member Advocates is sacred, and it’s incredibly rewarding to me to be able to support people through their tough moments and celebrate their wins alongside them. Building these meaningful relationships is the absolute best part of this role.
Q: Is there a particular member story that has stuck with you?
One of my Split members was in the middle of her cycle last year and about to fly to the intended parents’ clinic when her flight (and most other flights that day) were grounded due to weather conditions. There was a very good chance her cycle would be cancelled if she couldn’t fly out that night. I immediately reached out to the intended parents and the clinic to make them aware, and we all put our heads together to figure out a plan. We started calling clinics local to her to see if they could continue her care plan the following day if need be, and looked into flights that would go to other nearby airports, where she could rent a car and drive the rest of the way to her destination. We ultimately got very lucky and a last minute seat opened up on a flight out that night, and we were able to continue her cycle as planned. While this is an extreme example, I think it highlights the collaborative nature of the egg donation process. All parties (the Split member, clinic, intended parents, and me) were deeply invested in this journey and willing to move mountains to ensure things kept moving forward smoothly.
Q: How do you approach supporting members who might be feeling anxious or uncertain?
I think my listening skills are one of my top strengths, and it’s important for me to ensure that a member who’s feeling anxious or uncertain feels heard and understood. Taking the time to listen can help to get to the root of the anxiety or uncertainty, and give us a starting point to work through it. I am also a very firm believer that knowledge is power, and it’s one of the greatest tools we have to combat these feelings. Providing resources to members who are feeling anxious can be a huge help.
Q: What's one thing you wish more people knew about egg donation?
I wish more people knew how thoughtful and intentional the egg donation process can be. The amount of care and compassion that I see intended parents show to their donor and donors to the intended parents is amazing.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting their family-building process, what would it be?
I think the best piece of advice I would give is to expect the unexpected, and try to take it one day at a time. Family-building journeys are not always linear and it’s normal to encounter unexpected twists and turns along the way. Focusing on the next step rather than the entire path ahead can make your journey feel more manageable and less overwhelming. I’ve heard feedback from so many intended parents that their journeys did not look at all like they expected, but in hindsight, they can’t imagine things unfolding any other way.
Q: Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
In my spare time, I love to connect with my friends and family, explore new spots in the city (I’m based in Philadelphia), and travel as much as I can. When the weather is nice, I love to take my dogs for weekend adventures and explore hiking trails outside of the city. I’m also an amateur baker and love testing out new recipes.
Q: How do you practice self-care while supporting members through emotional moments?
This is one of the hardest things for me as I am an empathetic person and really feel for my members. In these tough moments, I usually try to step away from my desk for a few minutes to clear my head and regroup. Taking time to talk things over with a teammate is also immensely helpful - we are all really supportive of one another and know how tough these emotional moments can be. After I’ve had a little time to process, I usually dive back into problem-solving mode and try to figure out ways to support the member moving forward.
Q: What's one of your proudest moments as a Member Advocate?
My proudest moment as a Member Advocate was when the first set of intended parents I worked with welcomed their baby into the world. My heart absolutely burst with joy when I heard the news, and I felt deeply honored to have played even a small role in their journey to that moment. I look forward to sharing that same joy with many more intended parents in the future.
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 150 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 Embryo 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
