Episode 50: What to Know Before Starting IVF Treatment w/ Beth Frattura, CFP, B.S., M.B.A. — Founder of The Stork Foundation for Infertility and Financial Advisor

We sat down with Beth Frattura, Founder & Executive Director of The Stork Foundation, to break down what prospective parents need to know before starting their IVF journey.

After working for Morgan Stanley, she pivoted from finance after dealing with her IVF journey firsthand. Today, she is a nonprofit leader, helping other families through her work at The Stork Foundation. Beth explains how to start the IVF process, what due diligence matters most, and why choosing the right clinic, understanding success rates, and getting financial clarity early can make a meaningful difference. She walks listeners through the economic realities of starting IVF in the U.S., including insurance gaps, out-of-pocket costs, fertility grants, and why access to care often depends on your employer or zip code.

Thank you to The Stork Foundation for knowledgeable insights, grant resources, and hopeful contributions to future families seeking fertility treatments. For more information on starting your journey, feel free to connect with any of our family planners and members of the Stork Foundation.
