More than IVF: Options for more inclusive, less invasive family-forming benefits for your workforce
Fertility benefits are typically built around IVF. But fewer than 3% of infertility cases actually require it, which means the benefit most employers offer isn't serving most of the people who need it.
This guide walks through the full range of options available before, alongside, and beyond IVF, with clinical guidance from Carrot's Director of Integrative and Preventive Medicine.
Inside the guide, you'll learn about:
- Why IVF has become the default, and what the data says about how often it's actually the right first step
- Fertility planning and hormonal evaluation: what comprehensive testing looks like and why it matters before pursuing treatment
- Nutritional interventions and ovulation tracking as evidence-based, low-cost first-line options
- The role of mental health support in fertility care, and what research shows about stress and fertility outcomes
- Adoption and gestational surrogacy as paths to parenthood that most fertility benefits still don't cover, and why that matters for your workforce
Download the guide to see what a more inclusive, less invasive fertility benefit looks like in practice.
