What a beautifully written and heartfelt story—full of love, loss, and the determination to tackle a problem most people don’t even know exists.
Can you believe that in just 50 years, the average male sperm count worldwide has dropped by half?
When Saara Jamieson and her husband, Jordan, went through the pain of miscarriages and fertility struggles, they realised something startling: everyone talks about women's fertility, but hardly anyone talks about men's. Male reproductive health was almost invisible—no tools, no language, no real medical focus.
In conservative cultures, it’s often a matter of shame—talking about fertility challenges can feel like a threat to masculinity. In more progressive countries, it's not shame but apathy—the quiet belief that men's health will just take care of itself. Either way, the result is the same: neglect.
As Saara says, “Men don’t talk about this stuff. They’ve been taught to tough it out, to keep quiet, and to just get on with it.”
Sharing her story became her way of opening up a conversation—not just for herself, but for her children, their future, and for everyone who has ever suffered in silence. She realised that speaking up wasn’t just healing—it was powerful. It gave others permission to talk too.
She wrote this book to change that silence. To make the conversation normal.
Part memoir, part startup journey, and part inspirational guide backed by science, this debut book is eye-opening and genuinely motivating. It's filled with practical health advice—and it’s valuable even if starting a family isn’t on your radar.
A wise, honest, and impressive debut.
