In this powerful episode of The Male Bag, Ciaran shares four lessons he wishes he had known at the start of his fertility journey. He reflects on the emotional, relational, and practical challenges men face, and how finding support, taking control, and protecting relationships can transform the experience.

In this episode, Ciaran reveals:

• The Road Ahead is Rough: Fertility treatment is one of life’s hardest challenges, but you are not alone. Support exists, and seeking it makes the journey lighter.

• You Have More Control Than You Think: Small, manageable steps like diet changes or routines give back a sense of control.

• Relationships Will Be Affected: Honest conversations and intentional time together can protect and even strengthen your bond.

• Other People’s Reactions Aren’t About You: Hurtful comments reflect others’ lack of lived experience, not your worth.

If you’re struggling, Ciaran’s advice is clear: acknowledge the challenges, take control where you can, and lean into community.
