I am so pleased to share this chat with Shaun Greenaway. He and his wife tried to conceive for four years, before he was diagnosed with azoospermia (no sperm detected).
This was a totally devastating diagnosis and I'm so grateful to him for being so open about how he dealt with this when there was no support that he could find available at the time.
Shaun takes us through the story all the way through to how he ended up as a male fertility advocate and speaker, the book that changed his life and how he recently trained as a transformative coach (like me!) so he could take his support for men even further.
Shaun is really keen to break the stigma and get men talking. PLUS raise awareness that male factor infertility is equally as prevalent as female factor and unexplained: it is an equal split. Fertility is not a 'women's issue'.
If you are a man who is struggling with infertility, please know that you are not alone.
