GREENFIELD, M.A. (Franklin County Now) — Family building is one of the most hopeful journeys a person can take — and one of the most complicated. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Dr. Frances Rahaim, The Money Doctor, welcomes back Dr. Kucherov from Illume Fertility to talk honestly about the emotional, medical, and financial layers that come with trying to grow a family.
Together, they walk through what treatment timelines actually look like, how to set expectations that leave room for both science and emotion, and why thoughtful financial planning can shift the experience from overwhelming to genuinely achievable. It’s a warm, steadying conversation that makes space for hope while still honoring the realities people face.
No one should have to navigate fertility or finances in the dark. With the right information — and a little compassion — the path forward becomes clearer, one step at a time.
