Men Need To Talk About Fertility Too With Keith Buis

In this episode on Fertility in Focus, we learn about Keith Buis’ six year fertility journey. Keith is from St. John’s, Newfoundland and a fierce advocate for equal access to fertility services. At the start of his journey with his wife, Amanda, they never could have imagined the lengths they would travel to start their family. Their journey started with in-province treatment, progress to out-of-province treatment, and eventually led them to out-of-country treatment. 

From the perspective of a man, Keith shares his story of experiencing the struggle of conceiving and the challenges that he faced. He discusses how he managed to overcome these challenges through conversations and developing a support system.

Today, Keith is the proudest father of twins but is very aware that the journey can often be dark and isolating. Speaking about infertility while struggling through it was one of the hardest but most eye-opening experiences he has had to date. Men are not known for our open communication style, especially when it comes to infertility.

In Keith’s words, “You do not have to suffer through your struggle alone! Should you or your partner ever need to reach out, I will always be available.” Connect with him on Facebook or Instagram.
