Your Cart is Empty
As part of my Taking Control series I have interviewed the lovely Chris Lawson, who created the IVF Dad Podcast about infertility from a man's perspective.
Chris talks about how he felt whilst he and his wife were struggling to get pregnant and going through treatment. He also gives lots of great advice on coping through treatment and as a couple.
We talk about how men often hold in how they are feeling so that they can support their partner and not add on to their worries, how lots of men feel like an onlooker in the process and the importance of talking and keeping the communication with you partner.
This interview is a great source of validation for men going through treatment and lots of actionable advice on coping, its well worth a watch for men and couples.

The taking control series has been developed to give you lots of ways you can start to feel more in control, whatever your journey looks like, and to highlight the different support available to you.
If you're going through fertility treatment, I don’t need to tell you how much it takes from you - physically, emotionally, and mentally. But today, I want to talk about something that often gets overlooked: the mental load.
IVF can feel like an emotional rollercoaster, full of uncertainty, stress, and waiting. While you can’t control every part of the process, you can take steps to manage how you feel throughout it.
Fertility treatment can be one of the biggest challenges you’ll face as a couple, but it can also bring a deeper level of love, understanding, and strength. The key is to keep showing up for each other - in the good moments and the tough ones.
