emBorrow, which officially launched in December, is a tech company focused on providing those seeking fertility services with not only financing, but a community of emotional and educational support. Something that was lacking when Deutschle went through 3 rounds of egg freezing in her mid-30s and now 7 rounds of IVF in two years. Among friends and law colleagues, she has become a viable source in ‘what to expect’ when questions around fertility or specific treatments come up…but wouldn’t it be fantastic that prior to embarking on a fertility journey, patients could be provided resources that offer a better understanding of the process as well as peace of mind?

Now they can with emBorrow.

Deutschle and her team provide users with installment plans to help cover the costs of fertility treatments, but also help educate those

going through the process,

including the

administration of

medications, monitoring,

retrieval, possible side

effects, emotions, physical

response to treatment, and

so much more. They have a

network of physicians on

hand for support as well as

a community of people

who have undergone

similar procedures and are

available to share

information. “Many have no

idea what to expect and for

first-timers, there are often

a million questions,”

explains Deutschle.

“emBorrow is a way to

connect to other women

or experts so that advice,

instruction or support can

be shared.” As an

“emBorrower,” you are

never alone in your

journey.

If you live in the Chicago

area and want more

information about

emBorrow, they will host a Fertility & Wellness event on Saturday, February 28th from 2pm-4pm in Highland Park, IL.
