Abstract
In this qualitative study, in-depth interviews were used to explore the experience of infertility for six men diagnosed with male factor infertility. A thematic analysis of the interview data generated seven phenomenological themes that reflect how being infertile changed and shaped the lives of these men as they attempted to come to terms with their infertility.Keywords
