The Emotional Reality of IVF for Men & Couples

Fertility struggles are often discussed from a medical perspective — but the emotional and psychological side is rarely talked about.

In this episode of The Fertility Workshop, Marcus is joined by his wife Iva to explore the emotional reality of trying to conceive and navigating fertility challenges as a couple.

They discuss how conversations about family planning begin, how men and women often approach fertility timelines differently, and how past decisions can create feelings of regret or resentment during the IVF journey.

This episode also explores men’s mental health during fertility treatment and the importance of communication, forgiveness, and emotional awareness for couples going through IVF together.

Topics covered:

• When men start thinking seriously about becoming fathers• The pressure of fertility timelines• Regret and resentment in fertility journeys• Emotional challenges couples face during IVF• How medical diagnoses can accelerate fertility decisions• Communication and forgiveness in relationships

If you’re navigating IVF or trying to conceive, this episode provides an honest look at the emotional side of the journey.
