Work With Corey: IVF Coaching for Men
Going through IVF? You do not have to figure out the man's side of it alone.
I work privately with a small number of men each month who are in the middle of IVF, or about to start. Not as a doctor. Not as a therapist. As a man who sat in the same waiting rooms, gave the same samples, watched the same phone for the same results, and wrote the book he wishes somebody had handed him on day one.
Who this is for
• You are starting IVF and want to know what is actually coming, in plain language
• You are mid-cycle and carrying it quietly because you think being strong means being silent
• You want to support your partner well without disappearing yourself
• A cycle failed and you do not know what to do with that
• You just want to talk to a man who has been exactly where you are
What you get
Every session is built on the framework from my book, The IVF Playbook For Men, and shaped around where you are in your cycle:
• What to expect at each stage, and the questions worth asking your clinic
• The man's real jobs during a cycle, from medications and logistics to being steady when results are uncertain
• How to talk with your partner through the hard moments, including a failed cycle
• How to handle work, family questions, and the holiday-season gauntlet while you are in treatment
• A plan for the two-week wait that does not involve suffering in silence
How it works
Step 1: Free 15-minute intro call. No pitch. We talk about where you are, and whether I am the right person to help.
Step 2: Choose your format. After the intro call, we pick the format that fits where you are. I will walk you through the options and the fee for each on that call, before you decide anything.
• Single Session. One 60-minute video call. Bring your questions, leave with a plan.
• The Cycle Package. Five 60-minute sessions timed to your cycle: before you start, stimulation, retrieval and transfer, the two-week wait, and after results, whichever way they go.
• The Waiting Room (group). A four-week small group of men in the same season, one 60-minute call a week. Limited seats so every man gets heard.
Step 3: Show up as you are. No preparation, no performance. These conversations stay between us.
What this is not
I am not a licensed therapist or counselor, and this is not therapy. I do not diagnose or treat any medical or mental health condition, and nothing here is medical advice. Your clinic handles your medicine. A licensed therapist handles clinical care. What I offer is coaching and peer support from a man who has lived it. If you are ever in crisis, call or text 988, and I will help you find licensed support.
About Corey
Corey Parchman played five seasons in the NFL before building businesses and a nonprofit career in Indianapolis. He and his wife went through IVF, and that road led him to write The IVF Playbook For Men, the book he needed and could not find. He has shared the male side of IVF on CBS Mornings and speaks to clinics, conferences, and men's groups about what this process asks of a man and how to meet it.
Questions men ask before booking
Is this confidential? Yes. What you say in our sessions stays in our sessions.
My partner wants to join a call. Can she? This work is built for men, and that focus is the point. If a joint conversation would help, we can plan one together.
We are not in Indiana. Does that matter? No. Sessions are by video, and men join from anywhere.
What if I need more than coaching? Then I will tell you honestly and help you find the right licensed professional. Getting you the right support matters more than keeping you as a client.
Book the free intro call
Fifteen minutes. No pressure, no obligation. If I can help, I will tell you how. If I cannot, I will point you to somebody who can.
The IVF Playbook For Men is available in paperback and ebook at coreyparchman.com/book and as an audiobook on Audible, Apple Books, and Amazon Music.
