Sydney FC captain Natalie Tobin, aged 28, is proactively addressing her reproductive health by exploring fertility options. After discontinuing contraception, she experienced a 10-month absence of menstruation, likely due to high exercise volumes associated with her athletic career. To better understand and manage her fertility, Tobin is participating in Sydney FC's partnership with WHEN Fertility, which provides at-home fertility testing and education to both male and female club members.
Although Tobin and her husband, Will Fiedler, do not plan to have children immediately, she emphasizes the importance of preparation for future family planning. She acknowledges the evolving perception of athletes returning to sports post-pregnancy and aims to ensure she can have children when the time is right. Tobin's proactive approach highlights the growing awareness and importance of reproductive planning among athletes.
