Every path to parenthood is sacred, and no two journeys look the same.
For some, that path includes fertility care, preservation, adoption, or surrogacy. For others, it means seeking support through birth, postpartum recovery, or the tender process of healing after loss.

What many families don’t realize is that their employer might already offer a benefit that helps cover these types of services through Carrot Fertility.

What is Carrot Fertility?

Carrot Fertility is a family-forming benefit some employers offer to help make fertility and reproductive care more accessible.
It is not traditional health insurance. It is a flexible benefit that provides funds, guidance, and access to trusted providers for many different kinds of care, including:

Fertility treatments (IUI, IVF, egg or sperm freezing)
Adoption and surrogacy support
Hormonal and reproductive wellness (including menopause support)
Birth and postpartum doula support
Infant loss and bereavement support

Through Carrot, families can connect with care navigators, find reputable providers, and receive compassionate, personalized support, no matter what their journey looks like.

How It Works

If your employer partners with Carrot Fertility, you will typically receive a specific fund amount (for example, $5,000–$20,000) that can be used toward eligible family-forming and postpartum services.
You can then connect with Carrot’s care team to create a plan, choose your provider (including doulas), and use your funds either directly or through reimbursement.

Every employer’s plan is unique, so it is best to check what is covered, how to submit claims, and whether any part of your benefit is taxable.

Why It Matters

Family-forming care can be costly and emotionally complex. Having access to a program like Carrot Fertility helps ease the financial burden, provides expert guidance, and creates a sense of community along the way.

Carrot recognizes that every family deserves care, from the first steps of conception through birth, postpartum recovery, or even in moments of grief. This helps ensure that all paths to parenthood are supported with compassion.

How to Find Out if You Have This Benefit

Log in to your company’s benefits portal or reach out to your HR department.
Ask whether your employer offers Carrot Fertility (or a similar family-forming benefit).
If they do, visit get-carrot.com to learn more and set up your account.

If your company does not yet offer Carrot, you can always suggest it. Many workplaces are expanding their family support benefits to include fertility and doula care.
