Male factor infertility is responsible for 40–50% of fertility challenges—and yet, it’s barely part of the conversation.

In this episode, we go deep on what sperm quality really requires, how culture makes it hard to talk about, and why “his test was fine” doesn’t mean it’s time to stop asking questions. Kelsey shares client stories, actionable advice, and the script you can use to ask for support without shame.

We cover:

• What sperm health actually depends on (hint: it’s not luck)
• What most semen analyses miss entirely
• How to advocate for deeper testing with your partner
• The unspoken emotional weight women carry in fertility work
• Why you don’t need to do this alone anymore
