The idea for emBorrow was created by Deutschle who saw a need for “community” when women were going through fertility treatments. “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.”

Deutschle recently finished her seventh round of in-Vitro Fertilization and now considers herself a valuable source on egg freezing and IVF. But she vividly remembers how clueless she was at the beginning and how isolating the entire process can feel.
