๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Cycling is great for health ๐Ÿ’ช However, if you ride a lot, you might wonder about how it impacts your fertility ๐Ÿค” Hereโ€™s what research says, and how to protect your sperm ๐Ÿ‘‰

Some studies link 5+ hours per week of cycling with lower sperm count and less motility. However, many other studies donโ€™t find major fertility harm in recreational cyclists.

Why Cycling Could Affect Sperm
Pressure from the saddle on the perineum may reduce blood flow or compress nerves. Heat build-up around the testicles (from tight shorts, or a long time in the saddle) could impact sperm production.

How to Ride Safely
Use an ergonomic saddle to reduce pressure.
Wear breathable, padded cycling shorts.
Take breaks, stand up while riding, and avoid super long or intense rides if fertility is a concern.

๐Ÿ“‰ As Australiaโ€™s birth rate drops to a record-low 1.5 births per woman, thereโ€™s a factor we often overlook in fertility care: mental health during pregnancy ๐Ÿ‘ถ 18% of the population are affected by poor mental health, and research has show that many women are navigating pregnancy without adequate mental health support ๐Ÿฉบ Stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy can directly impact conception, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term family health ๐Ÿง  Itโ€™s time to integrate emotional wellbeing into fertility planning ๐Ÿ“ Letโ€™s move beyond cycles and counts, and start talking about the thoughts and feelings that shape reproductive journeys ๐Ÿ’ญ You donโ€™t have to navigate this alone, and Iโ€™m always here to help you structure your fertility pathway โ˜Ž๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘ถ A 30-year-old frozen embryo, preserved in 1994, just became a healthy baby in 2025 ๐Ÿงฌ This is the oldest embryo ever to result in a live birth, setting a new world record ๐Ÿฅ‡

๐Ÿฅš In the US and Australia, people can choose to donate their embryos if they are not going to use them during their conception journey ๐Ÿฉบ This 30-year-old embryo was still in storage, and was donated to a couple facing infertility ๐Ÿงฌ It is unlikely that we would see this occur in Australia, as there are limits on how long embryos can be stored, and these differ state-by-state ๐Ÿ—“ However, this groundbreaking medical achievement could demonstrate that embryos can be stored for longer, leading to healthy outcomes for all involved ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿฉบ As a fertility specialist, Iโ€™m deeply encouraged by the latest FIGO (the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) recommendations, now published in the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics ๐Ÿ“ These guidelines were developed to weave fertility preservation into cancer care, especially for people of reproductive age ๐Ÿ‘ถ This is important, because cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and newer immunotherapies can pose significant risks to fertility ๐Ÿงฌ Thus, early, collaborative counseling between oncology and fertility teams is essential ๐Ÿ’ฌ

๐Ÿ“Œ The FIGO guidelines outline the importance of developing tailored options, including:
โ„๏ธ Oocyte and sperm cryopreservation (standard care)
๐Ÿฅš Ovarian tissue freezing and fertility-sparing surgery, especially valuable in time-sensitive or prepubertal cases
๐Ÿ‘ถ Post-treatment pathways like assisted reproduction, surrogacy, or adoption

๐Ÿ’• Preserving fertility is a critical component of long-term quality of life for cancer survivors ๐Ÿฉบ Timely, multidisciplinary care allows patients to make informed decisions without delaying vital treatment, so these guidelines are a great step forward ๐Ÿ’ช If youโ€™re facing fertility struggles or need to navigate fertility and cancer treatment, then get in touch with me โ˜Ž๏ธ
