Welcome! I am Carmela Rea, founder and CEO of EggFund.

My mission in starting EggFund was to help hopeful parents afford to build the families of their dreams. Part of that mission is sharing useful information with you about where family building + financial wellness intersect.  I hope you enjoy this latest post!

For many individuals and couples, the journey to parenthood through IVF is filled with both hope and heartbreak.Beyond the physical and emotional toll, the financial burden can be staggering.A single IVF cycle in the U.S. can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000, and up to 35% of that goes toward medications alone. These are not just numbers—they represent dreams delayed or even denied due to unaffordable costs.

ILMEDS, an Israeli-based international pharmacy was born from a profound recognition; everyone should have the right, rather than privilege, to access affordable medication.

We understand that the cost of fertility treatment can be the deciding factor between moving forward with a cycle or walking away. We hear the stories of potential parents forced to make impossible choices. That’s why we are committed to offering a lifeline through affordable access to the same brand-name fertility medications used in U.S. pharmacies.

These savings can be the difference between continuing treatment or putting dreams on hold.

This isn’t just about money—it’s about hope.

Israel’s strict regulations on pharmaceutical pricing allow us to provide the same brand name medication that you know and are familiar with, at much lower costs. And while we may be faraway geographically, our mission is deeply personal and close to heart: to create a world where financial barriers don’t dictate who can and cannot pursue parenthood.

In that vein we are proud to be partnering with Egg Fund, whose mission is to help more people afford their dream of a family.
