Marc & Dan: Male Infertility and Miscarriage

We are very excited to share our new podcast, Unexpecting. Join Chana psychotherapists Shimon Schwab and Dr Romy Shulman in our first episode where we discuss male infertility, and the impact of miscarriage on men.


We hear from Marc Feigenbaum this episode, who speaks about how male infertility impacted him and his wife and the importance of having someone there to talk to when things get too much.


We also hear from Dan Rickman, about how he and his wife Alex were affected by their experience of miscarriage and why they made the brave decision to share their experiences on social media.


Both Marc & Dan have been incredibly open about their journeys and are passionate about men being more visible in the fertility conversation. We hope you find this a worthwhile listen.
