"Do I need ICSI or is regular IVF enough?" Let's clear up the confusion around these two approaches.

In this explainer, I'm breaking down the key differences between conventional IVF and ICSI, how each fertilisation method works, and when we recommend one over the other.

Not everyone needs ICSI, despite what you might read online. Your specific situation - especially s***m parameters - determines the best approach.

Questions about which fertilisation method might be right for you? Let's discuss your options. Message me 'PLAN' for a personalised assessment.

I'm a fertility specialist and I don't always recommend IVF 🤔

Many people think IVF is the automatic next step, but sometimes simpler approaches work just as well.

Watch to discover what I often try BEFORE IVF.

The real art? Matching the right intervention to YOUR unique situation - your biology, timeline, and goals. Sometimes the best move is simpler. Sometimes it is IVF.

Let's normalise the conversation men never have.

Half of fertility struggles involve male factors, yet most men know more about their car's maintenance schedule than their own reproductive health.

The reality check:
🏊‍♂️ Your swimmers are more sensitive than you think - everything from your morning coffee habits to your work stress shows up in your s***m health
🏊‍♂️ Unlike women who are born with all their eggs, you're producing 1,500 new s***m per second (yes, really!)
🏊‍♂️ That gym supplement you're taking? Your sleep schedule? Your weekend drinks? They're all writing the story of your fertility
🏊‍♂️ Advanced paternal age is linked to increased risks - fertility isn't just a female clock issue

Here's the truth: optimising male fertility isn't just about making babies. It's a window into your cardiovascular health, hormone balance, and overall vitality.

Your fertility is a vital sign. Time to start treating it like one.

Curious about what your body's really telling you? I've put together an in-depth guide covering the science, the myths, and the actionable steps you can take today.

Check out this page to learn more about male infertility including key components of male reproductive anatomy, factors influencing male fertility, when to seek professional guidance, and how I can help.

This might surprise you...

I've told some patients NOT to freeze their eggs.

Why? Because timing and your unique situation matters. It's not about pressure - it's about probability and numbers.

If egg freezing is right for you, I'll say so. If it isn't, I'll offer a plan that actually serves your goals.

Thinking about egg freezing? Message me 'FREEZE' for your personalised assessment.

Myth-busting series continues! Time to debunk fertility misconceptions that create unnecessary stress.

Swipe to discover the truth about:
➡️ Certain positions or legs up improve your chances
➡️ Years on birth control damages fertility
➡️ You need a perfect BMI to conceive
➡️ Tracking ovulation to the minute is essential
➡️ Missing early folic acid causes birth defects

As a fertility specialist, I see how these myths lead to guilt, obsessive behaviours, and delayed treatment. Let's replace anxiety with evidence-based information that actually helps your fertility journey.

Here's something I wish every couple knew before they started trying...

Your fertile window is a RANGE, not a single magic day.

Most couples think it's all about perfect timing, but the reality might surprise you. Watch to learn why regular intimacy beats the day-14 pressure. Small steps early on can save you months of guesswork and anxiety later.

I didn't think I had the patience for IVF.

Watch to find out how I learned that fertility medicine isn't about fast results, it's a process of waiting, hoping, adjusting, and maybe trying again.

I'll share why being steady, especially when patients feel anything but, has become a kind of strength I never knew I needed.

Fertility care isn't about instant fixes, it's about showing up consistently for the journey.

It's been a week since I completed the , running for AJFN! 🏃‍♂️

Together, we've raised over $10,000 - covering fertility consultations, counselling and treatments for those who otherwise wouldn't have been able to build a family.

The response has been humbling and overwhelming. It's not just a dollar figure, it's lives touched and futures built, and a glimmer of light and hope in the darkness of infertility.

Watch the video to hear my full reflection on this incredible journey and what it really means.

Huge thanks to everyone who donated, cheered or shared the journey with me, and a special thank you to everyone at Genea for your support.

As for me, no more marathons right now, but hit the follow button to stay tuned to see what's next, don't forget to also hit follow on AJFN to stay up to date with their wonderful work.

I just had a patient in tears because she thought she'd ruined her fertility after being on birth control for over a decade.

Watch to find out the truth about hormonal contraception, and why your body might just need a moment to refocus.

I'll explain how the pill temporarily prevents ovulation without ageing your eggs or causing infertility, and when it's time to check in if your cycle hasn't returned.

Been on the pill for years and wondering where you stand? Let's line up some tests and take the guesswork out of it. Click here: https://drsimonnothman.com.au/contact/, or message me 'PLAN' for a personalised fertility roadmap or to get started today.

Did I wait too long to try?

Yes, fertility changes with age, but guilt doesn't help.

Watch to find out why you can't go back in time, but you can take smart steps now - and why hope isn't about the past, it's about what comes next.

I'll explain how testing, planning, and knowing where you stand can give you the answers you deserve, not assumptions.

If you're wondering whether it's too late, get checked. You deserve answers, not assumptions. DM me or click here: https://drsimonnothman.com.au/fertility-testing/ for more information on fertility testing.
