By Pip Reilly.

 

The primary aim of this book is to bridge the gap between confusion and clarity for men facing infertility, and by providing comprehensive and accessible information, it seeks to empower men to face their challenges with resilience and purpose. 

Additionally, I aspire to foster a shared understanding among all involved: men, their partners, and healthcare professionals, encouraging open communication and collaboration. In doing so, this guide lays the groundwork for a united approach to navigating the physical, emotional, and relational complexities of infertility and its treatment. 

Ultimately, this is a resource designed to transform a potentially isolating and disempowering experience into an opportunity for growth, connection, and hope. Infertility, particularly for men, is an experience often fraught with emotional and psychological challenges that can profoundly affect their sense of identity and well-being, and loss of control that commonly marks this journey.  

Male infertility is one of the most misunderstood, under-discussed, and emotionally complex challenges a man can face. Throughout each chapter, you will transition from pain to power, from isolation to connection, and from loss to meaning. 

This guide is not just a resource; it is a mirror and a quiet companion for men in crisis and the women who walk beside them.

 

About the Author – Pip Reilly.

 

Pip Reilly has worked in mental health and counselling for over 30 years, with a specific focus on fertility and its emotional challenges, particularly for men. 

His professional journey began at Cardiff Psychiatric Hospital, where he trained in occupational therapy and support counselling across various specialised fields.

In the early 1990s, Pip relocated to London and joined St. Bartholomew’s and Whitechapel Hospitals (now Barts NHS Trust). He developed his training in counselling psychology, with a particular focus on genetic and infertility counselling, 

In 1998, he moved into the private sector, working with leading fertility clinics such as the London Bridge Fertility, Gynaecology, and Genetics Centre and others in London and Oxford. Throughout his career, he has provided vital psychological and psychosocial support to individuals and couples navigating the complex world of fertility treatment.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE).                               

He also co-founded Mensfe.net, a support network dedicated to men facing infertility, providing a much-needed space for open, honest conversations about male fertility.

Beyond his clinical work, Pip has contributed to advocacy and policy at both national and European levels. He served on the All-Party Advisory Committee for the UK Parliament, was a patient advocate with the European Patients’ Forum, and held roles with the International Consumer Society for Infertility (ICSI), among other organisations.

Pip now divides his time between the UK and rural Spain. When he is not working with patients, either in person or online, he enjoys tending to his terraces of fruit and olive trees. He says it is a different kind of therapy, cultivating the land with his trusty old David Brown tractor and plough.
