If you’ve ever wished your partner could hear what IVF and fertility prep is really like—from another bloke’s perspective—this one’s for you.

This week, I’m joined by my hubby Chris as we rewind back five years and talk all things IVF, sex schedules, sperm samples, and the male side of fertility prep. It’s raw, unfiltered, and (if I do say so myself), pretty hilarious in parts. Whether you’re gearing up for IVF or trying the old-fashioned way, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and the kind of no-filter chat that makes you feel less alone.

We cover:
 ✨ What the IVF process is really like (from both sides!)
 ✨ The wait times, costs, and why we chose Genea Fertility Clinic in Sydney
 ✨ Why we worked with Dr Anthony Marin as our fertility specialist
 ✨ Preconception prep for men (including supplements and lifestyle changes)
 ✨ How to tackle sperm quality, sex schedules, and support during IVF
 ✨ The male perspective on fertility struggles and how it impacts your relationship
 ✨ Our four-month fertility prep plan (including detoxes, acupuncture, and supplements)
 ✨ Why sometimes you just have to laugh through it all

We also break down the male fertility supplements Chris used (from the book It Starts With The Egg) to boost sperm health, including:
💊 CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) – mitochondrial support for sperm motility
💊 L-Carnitine – improves sperm count and motility
💊 Alpha-Lipoic Acid – a potent antioxidant for sperm quality
💊 Omega-3 (Fish Oil) – supports sperm morphology and overall reproductive health
💊 Ashwagandha – stress support and improved testosterone levels
💊 Maca Root Powder – libido and hormonal support
💊

If you’re craving a little extra support, my link in bio is full of free resources to get you started — including my IVF Prep Checklist and my Two-Week Wait Support Kit to help you feel a little more grounded during that in-between.

You can also book a free 30-minute call with me if you want to chat through your fertility journey and what your next steps could look like.

And I’m currently creating something really special… BLYOOM — a supportive app experience designed specifically for women on the trying-to-conceive journey, with nervous system tools to hold you through the real, everyday moments… the two-week wait, negative tests, pregnancy announcements, all of it.

If that feels like something you need right now, you can join the waitlist here so you’re the first to know when it’s live 🤍

And if you want more, come hang out with me on Instagram @abi.wilde — it’s where I share lots of free tips, tools, and fertility vibes for whole-body healing.

Until next time, mama x
