This International Men’s Day, we’re shining a light on a conversation that has been overlooked for far too long: male fertility and the emotional journey men face when building a family. 💙
For many intended fathers, fertility challenges carry a deep and often invisible weight. Men are still too often left out of fertility dialogue, expected to stay strong, stay silent, or simply “be fine.”
This silence can intensify feelings of shame, isolation, and self-doubt, with research from the likes of Fertility Network UK citing a a profound impact on mental health and overall wellbeing.
It’s time to change that.
Male fertility matters. Men’s emotions matter. Their hopes, fears, and dreams of parenthood matter just as much as anyone else’s. By bringing men into the fertility conversation with empathy, openness, and support, we not only break down stigma, we create space for healthier, more informed, and more connected journeys to parenthood.🙏
This is not just a conversation for Movember or International Men’s Day. This is a conversation that needs to be brought into the every day, so that men can navigate fertility pathways, whether through testing, treatment, IVF, surrogacy, or donor conception, knowing that their experience is valued and catered for.
Men’s fertility matters too. 🩵
