50% of known infertility cases are due to male factor. π³
So why aren’t preconception visits for men covered by insurance the way they are for women?!
π‘ Here’s the reality:
βοΈ Sperm counts have dropped by over 50% in the last 40 years.
βοΈ 1 in 3 couples struggling to conceive have a male factor issue.
βοΈ And yet… men are rarely tested FIRST.
Instead, women are expected to jump through ALL the hoops—tracking cycles, changing diets, getting tests done—while their partner’s fertility is barely considered. π€―
π What should HE be doing before TTC?
β
Checking key nutrients that impact sperm quality (Zinc, CoQ10, Vitamin D)
β
Addressing lifestyle factors (toxins, diet, stress, sleep)
β Semen analysis (analyzed + interpreted by a functional fertility expert for even more precision)
Conventional healthcare won’t look at your partner as an equal contributor to your dreams of becoming parents.
Typically he won’t get looked at until you’ve been trying for over a year and have been officially diagnosed with infertility and referred out to a fertility clinic.
DON’T wait a whole year of trying before checking his fertility. That’s wasted time. β³
π‘ If you’re TTC, BOTH partners need to be involved.
