Egg freezing has become the go-to for delayed parenthood – and companies are popping up to provide more cost-effective solutions investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)

As millennial women enter their 30s, demand for customized and affordable egg freezing services is spiking.On average, women spend $15,000 to $20,000 per cycle and opt for two cycles, according to Fertility IQ, , a digital database for information about fertility benefits and treatments.

Startups such as Kindbody know how to market their services to millennial women via social media, and are successfully demystifying the conversation, removing the stigma and increasing accessibility, said Frumes. Facebook – whose fertility benefits are administered by Progyny – added the benefit in response to employee demand. It opted to cover four cycles versus a lump sum to allow patients and doctors to make treatment decisions based on what's likely to have the best outcome – more healthy babies, said Renee Albert, Facebook's benefits director.

Bartasi says Kindbody's investment in technology means it can offer more cost-effective services – one cycle plus one year of storage costs $6,000. Medication and blood work can cost up to an additional $5,000. Women seeking further storage can expect to pay an additional $600 per year.Kindbody currently offers zero interest rate loans to patients.
