"Amazon's family-building benefits gave my wife and me our beautiful children, and we couldn't be happier," said Phyllis. "Thanks to our Amazon benefit offering with Progyny, we were able to conceive our babies through an amazing process called ‘reciprocal in vitro fertilization.’"
Reciprocal in vitro fertilization (IVF) allowed both Phyllis and her wife to participate in the pregnancy. Lindsay supplied her eggs, which were fertilized using donor s***m, and then Phyllis carried and delivered their babies. IVF and reciprocal IVF are just two of many options that U.S.-based employees choose on their path to parenthood through Amazon’s benefits. Others include intrauterine insemination, egg freezing, donor tissue procedures, genetic testing, and other services necessary to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Amazon’s fertility and family-building benefit, through Progyny, is available to all benefits-eligible employees regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, or relationship status. The benefit provides access to more than 950 of the nation’s most sought-after fertility specialists, so employees can choose a physician who best meets their needs and a patient-care advocate for dedicated support.
Amazon employee, Hokulani, a Michigan-based program manager with Amazon Freight, also used Amazon’s family-building benefits.
"I went through an embryo retrieval, had genetic testing done on each, and had them frozen," said Hokulani. "My husband and I miraculously got pregnant naturally after years of infertility—but because of Amazon’s family-building benefits, we still have embryos frozen and an opportunity to have a second child. That's something we didn't ever think was possible for us."
