You deserve a path to parenthood.

Today, we can't offer everyone a Gaia Plan — partly due to eligibility criteria dictated by our insurance partners, partly because we need to manage our own financial risk to stay in the business of helping our Members — but we can promise we work every day to expand access.

The best way to find out if you’re eligible is to apply

When you apply to become a Gaia Member, we ask you a number of questions. We consider all your information holistically to get a full picture. Because we use a number of factors, it’s hard to clearly lay out who we’ll be able to give a plan to. And in fact, our members each have a unique story to tell.

There are some clear cut-offs

We cannot guarantee you’ll get a Gaia Plan if you meet all the criteria below. But if you don’t, we will sadly not be able to offer you a plan today.

Body mass index (BMI)

If you're planning on carrying out the pregnancy, your body mass index needs to be below 35.

Because clinics have traditionally imposed a BMI limit, there isn’t enough data (yet) for us to design plans outside of this range and get approval from our insurers. Since launching Gaia, we’ve been able to move our BMI limit from 30 to 35, and will continue to gather evidence to further improve access.

Age

Unfortunately, age plays a big part in our eligibility criteria. Because eligibility depends on many factors, we can't say exactly where we draw the line when it comes to age.

In general, chances of getting a plan decrease with age. This is most common if you are over the age of 40 and using your own eggs. For the use of donor eggs, we can accept people up to age 47.

Credit score & affordability

Before we give you your loan, we need to make sure that you won’t be put into a tough financial position if and when you come to repay your cycle costs.

When you complete your credit profile, we will run a "soft" credit check and affordability check to give you your personalised interest rate and make sure the plan is fair and affordable for you. A "hard" check will only be run when you sign your Membership Agreement.

Will my credit be impacted?
Soft credit checks won’t impact your credit score, which is why we do this check when you are exploring whether Gaia is right for you.

However, when you sign your Membership Agreement, our member support team will let you know that we will run a hard credit check. A hard check can impact your credit score and means that other credit lenders will be able to see that a company has run a check.
