Former NFL Player Corey Parchman Appeared on "CBS Mornings" to Share Personal Journey and Launch of His Book IVF Playbook for Men
CARMEL, Ind., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Former NFL player turned real estate developer and author Corey Parchman makes a compelling national television appearance on CBS Mornings (July 2 broadcast), discussing his new book IVF Playbook for Men. This landmark book and television feature aim to destigmatize male infertility, offering hope and strategies for men navigating fertility challenges.
During the CBS Mornings segment, Parchman shared his deeply personal story—an emotional struggle involving five IVF cycles, multiple miscarriages, and intense feelings of inadequacy following a diagnosis of male factor infertility. "I felt like I was being the weakest link on the team," he revealed, as quoted in the broadcast https://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-nfl-player-corey-parchman-on-stigma-of-male-infertility/.
The interview highlighted key moments:
- The shock of discovering male infertility, prompting him to ask his doctor, "You're not talking about me, are you?"
- The emotional transformation that followed numerous fertility treatments: "Once you get out of your own way ... it's about your family." https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/former-nfl-player-opens-up-about-male-infertility-in-new-ivf-guide/
- An impassioned call for men to embrace vulnerability and open conversations around fertility.
IVF Playbook for Men arrives as a first-of-its-kind resource, filling the gap in guidance for men undergoing IVF treatments. Parchman notes that approximately 30% of infertility cases involve male factors, but men seldom receive tailored support https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLnLqLnOEhb/ The book addresses fertility foundations, emotional resilience, couple communication, and navigating the well-meaning—but often misguided—advice of others.
In his interview, Parchman reflected:
"I want to redefine masculinity, it's not all about being strong or fast, it's also about being vulnerable and opening up and expressing yourself."
