Getting pregnant
When sperm meets egg

The Infotility Research Team identified the need for accessible, reliable, and easy to understand information about men’s reproductive health.
We designed and evaluated a mobile web app to inform men about male infertility, fertility preservation, and health and wellness issues related to fertility. This site is based on the results of our research and aims to be a one stop shop of information you can trust on male reproductive health. Whether you are navigating fertility treatments, managing the effects of cancer, or are interested in men’s fertility, our site offers information you can use.
