" Yes ! ! It ’s nature tell you to blame a unlike DNA partner . "
Being pregnant has to be one of the toughest human endeavors.
But one doctor is blowing people’s minds after revealing just how much sperm impacts pregnancy.
Dr. Marcia Schaefer is a 42-year-old chiropractic doctor from Madison, Wisconsin, and aclipof her discussion at the Mile High Chiro Conference went viral with 10.4 million views. “When men get a semen analysis, theWorld Health Organizationhas created the standard of acceptable levels at the fifth percentile,” she explained.
“So that semen analysis, if he ‘passes’ cool, 95% of men have better sperm than you.”
“You know, she’s carrying YOUR child. The quality of her pregnancy is directly tied to HIS health. I’ve watched it time and time again,” she said.
“Preeclampsiais now tied to men.Morning sickness, dudes. He builds theplacenta. So I think it’s in the doc knowing more of like, who builds what, right?”
“‘Cause it’s a partnership all the way through. And if you want her to have a better pregnancy — and ‘cause, they’ll say, ‘You’ve had three loses, but you can get pregnant, but you can’t stay pregnant, so it’s not him.’”
“Three out of four times, losses in the first 12 weeks is him, not her. All chromosomal abnormalities is coming from him,” she concluded.
“That’s actually CRAZY and even more of a reason to be so careful who your partner is!!!!!” this person exclaimed.
“Yes!! It’s nature telling you, to pick a different DNA partner,” this person suggested.
Other people were comparing the information to their own pregnancy experiences. “I had preeclampsia and so did his ex with their first child… I 100% blame that on him lol,” this person laughed.
“I knew all my pregnancy problems were my husband’s fault,” this person joked.
“4 pregnancies. Zero morning sickness. I shall go n treat my husband,” this person said.
A LOT of people speculated about what men would do with this information. “They’ll still blame us,” this person predicted.
“Oh, they would NEVER admit this.. their ego is just bigger than our universe,” this person said.
“So men in the medical field have known this the entire time… it tracks,” this person said.
In an interview with BuzzFeed, Dr. Schaefer clarified that this isn’t new information. “It’s just not something our healthcare system is built for, and it’s ignored in mainstream medicine… We havestudieslinking poor sperm quality to higher rates of miscarriage, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and even metabolic disorders in kids. But because the medical system is hyperfocused on treating women when fertility challenges show up, men are left out of the conversations almost entirely, evidenced by how they’re treated.”
" There ’s also the financial incentive when fertility is focused on the char . Fertility treatment are a multibillion dollarindustry , and if humankind ’s health was accentuate more , a lot of these interventions may not be necessary . "
Dr. Schaefer shared the differences in reactions men tend to have compared to women when she shares this information with couples struggling to conceive. “Men tend to have different reactions. They’re often defensive and almost always incredibly skeptical. I get it. They’ve never had a medical doctor or fertility specialist mention their role, but once I break it down and show them how it works, from the research to the physiology behind it, it starts to click.”
“Women, especially if they have gone through a long fertility journey or had complications with pregnancy before finding me, very often have ‘aha’ moments in our consultation.”
“One of the most powerful aspects of this work is when couples come together and start to see that fertility isn’t a one-person journey. It’s a shared experience, opportunity, and responsibility. The shift from ‘her fertility issue’ to ‘our health journey’ is where the doors open for transformation to begin.”
“For real change to happen, there has to be a shift in how we educate both doctors and the public. Right now, research is there, but it’s not making its way into clinical practice.”
" That ’s why sovereign researchers , holistic practician , and those willing to challenge the status quo are so significant . When we jump talk about this through educational activity , social media , and direct conversation with our own patients , variety befall from the priming coat up … Until we shift the lens from treating infertility to create wellness , the data will remain to be buried or else of pitch the health of our next generation .
