My wife spent every day caring for others, while going through IVF at the same time 🙏❤️

Head’s not right today and I’m not guna pretend it is.

Glad I got out today and got it done but I really didn’t want to.

If you’re not feeling 100% today, its okay 🤝

Anyway, day 3 of my challenge for @tommys ✅ 6km down.

YOU'D NEVER KNOW.

Same desk. Same smile. Same “yeah, all good thanks”..

Around 1 in 6 people of working age will go through fertility problems. and most of them will never say a word at work 🤐

People will hide it all...

Nipping to the toilet to take a difficult call from their fertility clinic.

Come back to their desk and carry on like nothing happened.

Women will do their injections before work.

Men will hide the stress and pressure they're under.

There aren’t always signs.

Today's theme is 'Fertility at Work' for this @nationalfertilityawarenessweek.

Be kind. You never know what someone’s carrying 🙏

Today is the start of National Fertility Awareness Week 🫶 and I’m proud to be supporting @nationalfertilityawarenessweek and @fertility.action 🤝

This year’s theme is “Fertility Unfiltered”, which to me basically means “saying the stuff people usually keep quiet”

For five and a half years, I kept most of it quiet 🤐

The results 📉
The losses 💔
How it actually felt 😟

So this week, I’m going unfiltered (more than normal 🫠) Every day.

If you’re going through it silently right now, you’re one of millions. You’re NOT on your own.

The male fertility story nobody tells | Ep.149 w. @jacky_aloomah 🎙️

Jacky Maughan, founder of Aloomah Fertility, joins us to talk about male infertility and the side of trying for a baby that men rarely talk about.

Jacky opens up about the pressure of ovulation day,

Being told by his GP that “you only need one sperm”,

And finding out years later that he had a varicocele, a condition that was damaging his sperm and COULD be fixed.

He shares the lifestyle changes that took his sperm quality from under 1% to 5%,

The year he and his wife Eleanor took off to find each other again,

And their emotional final round of IVF with just one embryo left, which led to their son.

If you’re a dad, trying to become one, or know someone who’s struggling, this one’s for you.

Two Halloweens ago, we chose to lean into it 🎃

Are you leaning in tonight, or turning the lights off?

Either way, its absolutely fine 🤝

I’ll never be able to repay her 🫶

People ask me what infertility was like for me… I’ll always talk about it, because the man’s side matters.

BUT…I’ll never pretend it was equal.

She had the needles. The scans. The drugs. The hospital stay. The losses happened in her body 💔

I had a few awkward tests and one small operation.

If your partner has been through all of that for you both, tell her today. She probably needs to hear it.

Send this to her. Let them know 🤝❤️

Nobody should be fobbed off like this. If you’ve been told something that didn’t sit right, you’re allowed to question it.
