S9 E1 | Before You Blame Her, Test Him: What Every Couple Should Know About Sperm Health
In this eye-opening episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, Bex and Laura dive deep into a topic that's often missing from conversations around miscarriage, baby loss, and infertility—male fertility. They’re joined by Ian Stones, male fertility advocate and co-founder of TestHim, to uncover the surprising truth about sperm DNA fragmentation and its role in recurrent miscarriage, IVF failure, and unexplained infertility.
If you've ever been told “everything looks fine” after a semen analysis, this episode is for you. Ian shares critical insights about what standard sperm tests don’t show, how conditions like varicocele and oxidative stress impact sperm quality, and what proactive steps men can take to improve fertility and long-term health—because yes, sperm health is a mirror of overall health.
In this episode, we explore:
