How to Support Your Wife Through Your Fertility Journey (IVF & TTC)

Supporting your partner through a fertility journey is not always straightforward — especially when you don’t fully understand what she is going through.

In this episode of The Fertility Workshop, Marcus is joined by his wife Eva to break down the female side of trying to conceive and IVF, and what men can do to show up in the right way.

They share their personal experience navigating endometriosis, IVF cycles, medical appointments, and the emotional highs and lows that come with the process — including stress, pressure, medical trauma, and relationship dynamics.

This episode is designed to help men better understand their partner’s experience and learn how to provide meaningful support during one of the most challenging journeys a couple can face.

In this episode, we cover:

• What women experience emotionally when trying to conceive• The pressure of fertility timelines and medical diagnoses• How IVF treatments affect mood, stress, and the body• What happens during scans, appointments, and treatment cycles• How men can support their partner before, during, and after appointments• The impact of medical trauma and navigating healthcare systems• Communication, emotional support, and avoiding disconnection as a couple• Practical ways men can show up and make the journey easier

If you are going through IVF or trying to conceive, this episode will help you better understand the experience from your partner’s perspective — and how to support her in a way that truly matters.
