Infertility and Teamwork
One thing I’ve learned is that asking questions and building your unique team of fertility experts is essential—not just once, but throughout your entire journey. Each phase—beginning, middle, and end—may require a different playbook. Having a full roster of support professionals is the best way to meet your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial needs as you move toward parenthood.
I recently spoke with Liz Davolos, Senior Director of Patient Finance at Extend Fertility. With over 15 years of experience helping families move through IVF without the added heartache of financial stress, Liz brings both practical tools and deep compassion to the conversation.
“One of the things we do at Extend Fertility” Liz explained, “is make sure every new patient has a consultation—not only on the clinical side, where they meet with fertility advisors to review their next steps, but also with a financial counselor. Whether in person or via telehealth, that counselor follows them throughout their journey.”
One early green flag to look for when you’re starting your family-creation journey is whether a clinic offers built-in consultations within the practice. Do they provide insights and tips tailored to your situation? Do they give you action steps that truly empower your journey?
If you’re in the middle—or even near the end—it’s worth circling back with your team. Shift the “beach chairs” around as your needs evolve; different phases often call for new insights and different forms of support.
