Men's health is important.
Men's mental health is important.
Men showing emotions and sharing how they feel is important.
Men asking for help, going to therapy and communicating is important.
Men not being ok is important.

As we talk this month about Men's Health we need to remove the stigmas associated with men properly taking care of their health by normalizing men taking care of their physical, mental and emotional health.

Fertility Quinte offers a safe space for men to come as they are and be who they are. We offer counselling, massage therapy, Reiki, reflexology & Reiki massage to support you.

Reflexology may not be the first complementary treatment that most men think of having, but many could benefit greatly.

Day to day stresses of men differ then women but it will still have a negative effect on men’s health. Even more so when trying to conceive.

Reflexology is beneficial for men as it relaxes the nervous system, eliminates stress, improves sleep, balances hormones, provides emotional support and the healing benefits of physical touch.

Reflexology is a safe and beneficial form of physical healing touch that many men enjoy.

Happy World Kindness Day 💙

Kindness starts with being kind to yourself. Choosing to be kind to yourself while on your fertility journey may not come with ease somedays, it's those days that you need it most.

Here are a few ways that you can choose kindness for yourself:

~eat healthy foods - healthy foods not only make your physical body feel well but it boosts your mental and emotional health
~treat yourself - you don't have to wait for someone else to get you a gift. Give yourself one
~remind yourself of your good qualities - it's easy to see our flaws but what are you good at? what do you love about yourself?
~tell yourself positive affirmations - I am enough, I am worthy, I deserve to be happy.
~ show yourself compassion - imagine you are someone else what would you say to that person? Look in the mirror and say it to yourself

We are always here to support you, wherever you are in your journey.

You are amazing!!!

Treatments for prostate cancer almost always inhibits the ability to fertilize through sexual in*******se.

During a prostatectomy, both the prostate and the nearby seminal vesicles are removed. Both are vital in the transportation of the semen that carries s***m during ej*******on. Without s***m, ej*******on is impossible and s***m cannot physically leave the body.

Radiation therapy nearly always impairs fertility. Not only can s***m be damaged but the radiated prostate cells and seminal vesicles tend to produce semen that can't transport s***m well.

For men who wish to father children after treatment for prostate cancer, the best chance for fertility is s***m banking. During this procedure up to 50% of s***m will regenerate and can be used for artificial insemination.

According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), artificial insemination success rates per individual cycle vary between 15.8% for women under 35, 11% for women aged 35 to 39 and 4.7% for women aged 40 to 42. Overall, over half of women having IUI become pregnant over the first six cycles.

It is always important to discuss your options with your medical team prior to starting any treatment.

Support is always available at Fertility Quinte. Book a consultation to learn how we can best support you.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

When the diagnosis of Breast Cancer is given it brings with it a lot to think about. For women without children or those trying to conceive it brings up what about my fertility?

Some treatments for breast cancer may affect a woman’s fertility depending on the treatment that is being given. Experts recommend freezing embryos or eggs to help preserve fertility.

It is always best to discuss your concerns and options for fertility preserving procedures with your medical professionals. These conversations are best to have prior to receiving treatment.

The team at Fertility Quinte is here for you wherever you are in your journey. Reiki and counselling are just a couple of the services that we offer that may make this time in your life a little lighter. 💗

On October 15, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, we acknowledge and remember pregnancy and infant losses, as well as the unique grief bereaved parents experience. ⁠
⁠
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day also provides the opportunity to show support to the many families across Canada who have suffered the loss of a pregnancy or the death of an infant.⁠
⁠
The day is often observed with ceremonies, vigils and the international wave of light at 7:00 pm. The International Wave of Light invites participants from around the world to light a candle at 7 p.m. in their respective time zones and to leave the candle burning for at least an hour. The result is a continuous chain of light spanning the globe for a 24-hour period in honour and remembrance of the children who passed away in pregnancy or as infants.⁠
⁠
For more information visit https://pailnetwork.sunnybrook.ca/⁠
⁠
If you are experiencing or have experienced pregnancy and/or infant loss please know you are not alone. We are here for you offering counselling, Reiki, ceremony and more. ⁠
