'It’s oddly made me feel motivated to do what I can to better that for when I’m seriously considering children whenever that happens down the line.' ✍️ JamesBesanvalle writes for MetroOpinion

‘After centuries in which it was assumed that infertility was a “female problem”, we now finally recognise that infertility is a shared problem,’ she tells Metro.co.uk, pointing out that it’s actually much more equal between the sexes. A third of infertility cases are caused by male reproductive issues, another third by female, and the last third by both male and female causes or by unknown factors.

Then I arranged for the sample to be collected – on an extended lunch break a few days later, which felt slightly seedy walking out of the office and telling a select few what I was about to do. Looking at the reclining chair in front of me, I realised I didn’t really think about the logistics of collecting the sample into the cup. If there was a chair in the room, surely it was there to be used? So I sat down, whipped out the todger , loaded some videos on my phone and got the cup ready.

He couldn’t see any major alarm bells with the questionnaire I filled out, remarking: ‘It’s the quickest history I’ll probably take all week because you’re so fit and well.’Dr Nicopoullos told me that there are a few key things they look out for – volume of fluid, concentration of sperm, motility and rate of abnormalities .Even though I got slightly over the volume minimum , the rest wasn’t so good.

It wasn’t until we were chatting about how these scores could be improved that something clicked. When asked if I’d had Covid-19 before, I suddenly clocked that I did… literally three weeks before doing this test. I didn’t even think about this when the questionnaire asked if I’d had any infections.
