In this eye-opening episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, Bex and Laura dive deep into a topic that’s often missing from conversations around miscarriage, baby loss, and infertility—male fertility. They’re joined by Ian Stones, male fertility advocate and co-founder of TestHim, to uncover the surprising truth about sperm DNA fragmentation and its role in recurrent miscarriage, IVF failure, and unexplained infertility.
If you’ve ever been told “everything looks fine” after a semen analysis, this episode is for you. Ian shares critical insights about what standard sperm tests don’t show, how conditions like varicocele and oxidative stress impact sperm quality, and what proactive steps men can take to improve fertility and long-term health—because yes, sperm health is a mirror of overall health.
In this episode, we explore:
- 💥 What sperm DNA fragmentation really means—and why it’s overlooked
- 📉 Why a “normal” semen analysis doesn’t guarantee fertility
- 🧬 How DNA damage in sperm contributes to miscarriage and failed embryo development
- 🔥 The impact of lifestyle, diet, heat, inflammation, and chronic illness on male fertility
- 🧪 What you need to know about sperm testing, supplements, and oxidative stress
- 🧠 How to advocate for the right tests before another IVF round
- 👨⚕️ The emotional weight men carry in fertility struggles—and why it’s time to talk about it
