Trying for a baby made me rethink what it means to show up as a man.
After experiencing miscarriage, I started questioning whether I was doing everything I could on my side too.
For a long time, fertility has been seen as something that sits mostly with women.
But men play a role too - and more of us are starting to recognise that.
Sperm quality has declined over time, yet most of us are never really told what to do.
One thing I hadn’t thought about?
Keeping my phone in my pocket all day. Close to my body, generating heat, constantly active.
It’s a small habit. But when you’re trying to conceive, the small things start to matter.
Sperm is constantly regenerating, which means the habits you have in the lead-up can make a difference.
This is one practical step.
