As a male, how do I cope with infertility, or the prospect of it?

The piece of advice I give to somebody going through the infertility is to make sure the most important thing is you keep an open line of conversation with your partner. That helped my wife and I deal with the 14 or 15 months that I wasn’t ready to deal with it. There’s so much stress in your life already from what you’re dealing with; make sure you keep that open communication. The other thing is, I think about it, don’t keep putting it off.

As hard as it is, you have to deal with it. I didn’t deal with it. It was 14, 15 months of pure stress on me that I should have dealt with. The other thing that’s very important is find out after it set in that there’s a problem with fertility, what your options are, and start researching those options. It’s not gonna get any easier until you finally make that decision that you need to do something about it. And, depending what route you wanna go, you need to be educated in all options.
