IVF rarely makes room for men and this episode of Quiet The Clock changes that. Beth sits down with Brett Eaton for an unfiltered conversation about what IVF looks like through a male lens. The pressure to stay strong. The quiet grief. The awkward moments no one warns you about and the emotional weight men are expected to carry without a roadmap. Brett shares how fertility treatment challenged his sense of masculinity, and forced him to relearn what support and partnership really mean. Together, Beth and Brett talk about the gaps in fertility education for men, why silence can create distance in relationships, and how honest conversations can actually bring couples closer during the hardest moments. This episode is raw, validating, and deeply human, reminding us that IVF isn’t just a medical process, it’s an emotional one that both partners experience. If you’re navigating fertility treatments, supporting a partner, or simply want a more honest conversation about what IVF really demands, this episode is not to be missed.
