EP #58 - When Men Disappear from Their Fertility Journey
What if male infertility didn’t have to be a topic shrouded in silence — but could be met with understanding, safety, and compassion?
In this episode, we open space for a conversation often left unspoken: the emotional landscape of men navigating infertility. Together, we explore why many men internalise their struggles, why emotional withdrawal is a common response, and how shame and a sense of lost control shape this experience.
We talk about the coping strategies men often adopt — from avoidance to hyper-independence — and why these responses are not signs of disinterest, but ways of protecting themselves in a world that doesn’t always provide space for vulnerability. This episode highlights the crucial role of emotional safety, validation, and open communication in fostering connection and understanding between partners.
You’ll also hear why professional support can be a game-changer, and how creating safe spaces to express feelings can reduce the heavy burden men often carry alone.
This isn’t just a conversation about male infertility.
It’s about breaking silence, offering compassion, and honoring the emotional complexity of the journey.
If you’re navigating these challenges — or supporting someone who is — this episode is a reminder: you are not alone, your feelings are valid, and connection can begin the moment the silence softens.
