In this week's episode, Carolynn sits down with The Infertility Man himself, Jon Summers, to discuss the male experience of infertility.
After having testicular cancer, Jon believed he could never have biological children. With his partner, Laura, he embarked on a fertility journey that included 15 IVF cycles, 2 sperm retrieval surgeries, and thousands of injections.
He discusses how he overcame the toxic masculinity that has permeated throughout our society and how he developed the strength to be vulnerable and share his story with other men who are going through the struggle to start a family.
To this day, he has helped thousands of people struggling to conceive to find balance in their health, emotions, finances, and relationships. Jon and Laura’s book ’The Man’s Guide to Infertility’ is designed to help men face infertility with love and humour.
