More often than not when we think about fertility, we immediately start thinking about women. Yes, we are the ones who have menstrual cycles and get pregnant and grow babies, but if it wasn’t for male sperm pregnancy would never be possible. And if a couple is struggling to conceive, it’s about an even 50-50 split about whether it is a male or female cause. In this episode, we’re talking about what makes up an individual sperm cell; how the male reproductive system works to maximise chances of fertilising a female egg and we’re also talking about sperm count – how this is actually measured, how it’s changed over the past 100 years and some advice for couples who are trying to conceive with potentially low sperm counts.  Here’s What We’re Talking About:Everything you need to know about sperm and male fertilityHow the male reproductive system works to maximise chances of fertilising a female eggThe three main components of sperm count (and how it has changed in 100 years)How to maximise sperm qualitySome advice for couples who are trying to conceive with potentially low sperm counts.  ________________ Read the show notes, including a transcript of this episode with all links and resources HEREDM Rachel on Instagram:  @fertilitycoSupport the showWhenever you're ready, here's a few ways I can help you!
