Show Notes
Shaun Greenaway is a male fertility advocate and co-founder of NeXYs Fertility. After being diagnosed with azoospermia, he experienced first-hand the silence and stigma surrounding male infertility.
Now a proud father to donor-conceived twins, Shaun shares his journey through @Knackered_Knackers, using honesty and humour to break the taboo and support others navigating similar paths.
He also co-hosts The Male Fertility Podcast, listened to worldwide, and leads NeXYs Fertility - a platform transforming how men access fertility support. Shaun is dedicated to ensuring no man faces infertility alone or uninformed again. Trigger warning - this week we talk about loss. We do a deep dive into Shaun’s story and his journey (quest) to parenthood. We cover everything from his former job as a Police Officer in the Met and how that impacted how he navigated his diagnosis and his mental health to why there’s always one kid at school who lies about being on the books for a professional football club. Shaun gives us some tips on how to best show up and support your partner through IVF and how to reach out and connect with other men who may feel isolated in the process. Also, Lauren has some drug-induced brain farts in real time. This episode is sponsored by IMPRYL. Find out more at www.fertilityfamily.co.uk and use the code; BABYMAKINGBIZ10

This week, we’re talking about trust, transformation and two very different approaches to nesting. But drive each other bonkers in the process. We start with the deeply troubling stories emerging from fertility clinics in northern Cyprus, where families say DNA testing has revealed that the sperm or egg donors they carefully selected may not have been the donors used to conceive their children.
Today is a balance of silly buggers and “Getting deep Deborahs.”
To mark IVF day, we celebrate Jean Purdy, perhaps the greatest unsung hero of IVF. In doing so, we discover Rabbits were also trailblazers in the science of IVF.
