We believe that the fertility conversation should be equal for all. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we have joined forces with TwoDads UK! This partnership puts focus on male fertility and health within the LGBTQ+ community.
This year has been a challenging time for all of us in different ways due to COVID-19. Couples in fertility treatment have had their fertility journeys put on hold, further complicating an already stressful and emotional experience. This has not only made us reflect on what we do to empower men to make informed decisions about their health and fertility. It has also made us think about what more we can do to continue the support and education on male fertility.
The LGBTQ+ community is part of the fertility conversation
The fertility conversation should apply to all couples. Infertility does not discriminate and there exists a wide variety of couples who may experience fertility issues or need fertility treatment.
While the political landscape unfortunately can look different for LGBTQ+ couples, the fertility conversation, and in particular, sperm health, is the same. Tracking sperm can be valuable for sperm donation, surrogacy, or simply if you want to find out more about your health in general.
We believe that the fertility conversation should be equal for all. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we have joined forces with TwoDads UK! This partnership puts focus on male fertility and health within the LGBTQ+ community.
Wes and Michael are on a mission to help raise awareness and normalize same-sex parenting, ensuring fair and equal treatment to Surrogates and Intended Parents. They engage in several activities to be part in creating a better, safer, and more equal UK Gay Parenting Space. We love all of the work Wes and Michael are doing and we want to give a particular shout-out to The Modern Family Show, an event exclusively designed for the LGBTQ+ community.
Our partnership is not only a way to further address infertility and male health; it marks the beginning of a very exciting chapter for ExSeed together with Michael and Wes from TwoDads UK. Michael is equally excited about the partnership:
“The partnership highlights the synergy between ExSeed and TwoDads and the good we can do to support men with their fertility issues.”
A comprehensive and inclusive approach to fertility
Our goal with this partnership is to empower LGBTQ+ couples to take control over their family planning and fertility journey. ExSeed and TwoDads UK will work together to give relevant information around male fertility and family planning. The focus will be to inform, educate, and support LGBTQ+ couples to realize their dream of becoming parents.
Together with TwoDads UK we will host a livestream on Instagram 17th of September at 8.00 pm (GMT+1). It will focus on how home sperm testing can be a way to start your fertility journey. Together we will guide you through everything you need to know about testing your sperm from home:
- How it works
- What is measured
- What the results tell you
- How your general health and wellbeing influences sperm quality
- What you can do yourself to improve your sperm quality
Benefits for the LGBTQ+ community
Empowerment: There’s much you can do yourself before going to a clinic! We want to make the topic of sperm health easier to understand, so that you can make informed decisions about your health and take control over your fertility journey.
Destigmatization: Both male fertility and same-sex family planning are not talked about enough. Honestly, that needs to change!
Easier fertility journey: How fun is it to cum in a cup at a clinic? Not exactly the greatest experience! Test comfortably from home and use the results to plan your fertility journey.
If you and your partner are thinking about starting a family, make sure to tune in to our livestream here on September 17 at 8.00 pm!
We’re looking forward seeing you there!
