“At 38 I was depressed, we had ten years of trying and we were smashed” World Childless Week Champion Michael Hughes on the male side of infertility. The team here are honoured that Michael did this today in a first for male infertility, a day dedicated to men who have never experienced fatherhood hosted by those who share the same journey. We’re ridiculously proud of you.
