If you’ve ever wished your partner could hear what IVF and fertility prep is really like—from another bloke’s perspective—this one’s for you.

This week, I’m joined by my hubby Chris as we rewind back five years and talk all things IVF, sex schedules, sperm samples, and the male side of fertility prep. It’s raw, unfiltered, and (if I do say so myself), pretty hilarious in parts. Whether you’re gearing up for IVF or trying the old-fashioned way, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and the kind of no-filter chat that makes you feel less alone.

We cover:
 ✨ What the IVF process is really like (from both sides!)
 ✨ The wait times, costs, and why we chose Genea Fertility Clinic in Sydney
 ✨ Why we worked with Dr Anthony Marin as our fertility specialist
 ✨ Preconception prep for men (including supplements and lifestyle changes)
 ✨ How to tackle sperm quality, sex schedules, and support during IVF
 ✨ The male perspective on fertility struggles and how it impacts your relationship
 ✨ Our four-month fertility prep plan (including detoxes, acupuncture, and supplements)
 ✨ Why sometimes you just have to laugh through it all

We also break down the male fertility supplements Chris used (from the book It Starts With The Egg) to boost sperm health, including:
💊 CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) – mitochondrial support for sperm motility
💊 L-Carnitine – improves sperm count and motility
💊 Alpha-Lipoic Acid – a potent antioxidant for sperm quality
💊 Omega-3 (Fish Oil) – supports sperm morphology and overall reproductive health
💊 Ashwagandha – stress support and improved testosterone levels
💊 Maca Root Powder – libido and hormonal support
💊 NaturoBest Preconception Multi for Men
