Planning and starting a family is deeply personal, emotional and exciting. But sometimes it can be a stressful experience when your plans for a family are not going as expected, and days of significance that bring families together, like Fathers’ Day, can be tough.
Future dads, as you know, you’ve got an equally important role to play in achieving a healthy pregnancy, and your sperm needs to be just as healthy as women’s eggs to get the best chances of a pregnancy.
To all the men out there, listen up…you also play a crucial role in helping achieve a healthy pregnancy, so don’t just leave it to the women. The health of both the sperm and eggs are equally important to optimising your chances of pregnancy.

Fertility health is not just a women’s issue. In fact, up to 40 per cent of infertility issues are the result of a male factor.
While it may be worrying to hear that a male functional, hormonal or sperm problem might be contributing to a couple’s troubles conceiving, it is also important to understand they are common and there are many simple and effective treatments available to help conception occur.
