And Conor joins me in studio now. voice-verified

Conor, you're very welcome. voice-verified

We made it happen. voice-verified

You and I met at the Future Fertility Show and I just thought your story was so powerful because as I said before the ad break, we don't really hear as often from the men in this discussion. voice-verified

Here we are. voice-verified

So before we get into your personal story, when would you have started to consider your fertility? voice-verified

As a teenager, would you be thinking about the possibility of getting someone pregnant or the quality of your sperm or anything like that? voice-verified

Yeah, I think that's something, you know, only in my anecdotal evidence as women, as young girls, we're taught that it can happen at the drop of a hat. voice-verified

And then, you know, you get into a situation later in life where you are looking to get pregnant and you realise it can be a bit more complex than that. voice-verified

And that's where you found yourself. voice-verified

So yourself and your now wife, Kerry, when did you begin to talk about having children? voice-verified

And it came down to sperm quality. voice-verified

That's what was said in that meeting. voice-verified

And it is personal, isn't it? voice-verified

As you said, because it's got so many ramifications in your personal life. voice-verified

But I just think it's really commendable of you to say it made you question, well, who am I as a man? voice-verified

Because I know women go through this a lot and there's a lot around the language used in fertility when people are told they have an inhospitable womb space and other such things. voice-verified

And you take it that your body is letting you down and that you are personally responsible for this. voice-verified

We don't often hear this. voice-verified

I could actually start crying, Conor. voice-verified
