It can be difficult at times to remember that the men who enter our clinic are all on a journey to fatherhood of their own.
….Some trying to be supportive of their wives and partners struggling with infertility
….Some have found themselves struggling with their own infertility
….Some are working through the idea of overcoming infertility by using donor eggs or s***m
….almost all are feeling helpless and overwhelmed in this journey that they didn’t expect to be on.
We often acknowledge the women on the journey who are navigating medications and injections and surgical procedures, but we also want to acknowledge that beside many of those women is a man, wishing he could do more, hoping to become a father.
The reality is, there are a lot more spaces where women can feel safe to talk about their fertility journey or pregnancy loss than there are men talking about it over a b**r at the footy.
So, To all the ‘Dads to be’ on this journey - we are grateful for you and we do see how hard it can be!
And of course, to all the men who get to love someone who calls them Dad - Happy Fathers Day 🍻
