Azoospermia… do you know what it means?

Shaun didn't.

Neither did the woman who called him to deliver the news that he was infertile. At the time, neither of them knew what it meant.

@knackered_knackers opens up about how he was first told about his infertility…

A phone call…

From someone who didn't even understand what she was telling him.

For this episode, we're going back to the beginning. Series 1, Episode 1: Shaun's Story.

If you've recently been diagnosed with azoospermia, this is a must listen episode.

Shaun shares his diagnosis, the process of acceptance, and his journey to becoming a dad through donor conception.

Event Review: ‘Spermageddon – Thirty minutes to save humanity’.
Dr Erin Williams (Lecturer in Reproductive Anatomy and Physiology) reflects on Professor Rod Mitchell’s latest stand up comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, dedicated to male fertility. Dr Williams notes that the show touched upon topics like declining male fertility; potential factors impacting male fertility; and in-vitro derived sperm cells. Dr Williams adds that Professor Mitchell ‘has a real knack for finding the humour in difficult topics without losing sight of the people living with these issues; his jokes are what carry serious messages to audiences who may otherwise never hear them’.

“No, you’re fine.” Those were the words @tris_taylor_ remembers hearing when he pushed for his own fertility to be investigated.

But something wasn’t right.

In the latest episode of The Male Fertility Podcast, Tris joins us to share his personal fertility journey, from recurrent miscarriages and unexplained infertility to discovering sperm DNA fragmentation.

He opens up about feeling overlooked, searching for answers and the emotional impact of infertility, including why the journey doesn’t necessarily end when you become a father.

It’s an honest conversation about male fertility, the importance of investigating both partners and why men deserve to be heard throughout the fertility process.

🎙️ Sperm DNA Fragmentation: Beyond the Test is the third and final episode in our DNA fragmentation mini-series, produced in partnership with @examen_lab .

If you’re navigating fertility difficulties, or supporting someone who is, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Did you know sperm health can matter beyond getting pregnant? 🧬

Damage to sperm DNA, known as DNA fragmentation, has been linked to a higher risk of miscarriage. But sperm quality alone cannot predict whether a pregnancy will reach full term, and pregnancy loss is never anyone’s fault.

Men deserve to be included in fertility conversations and investigations too. If you’ve experienced repeated miscarriages, ask your specialist whether assessing sperm health could help. 🤎

We’ve never had more access to fertility information.

But more information doesn’t always mean better information.

Jonathan Ramsay makes an important point about the rise of AI and online information:

An opinion can be repeated so many times that it starts to look like evidence.

And in areas of male fertility where the research is still developing, that can be a real problem.

The answer isn’t to stop asking questions.

It’s to get better at asking: What does the evidence actually say?

What if we’re asking the wrong question when fertility treatment fails?

Jonathan Ramsay believes we spend too much time asking: "How do we make the outcome better?”

And not enough time asking: "Why did it go wrong?”

If we can understand why something went wrong, we have a much better chance of understanding what needs to change.

It’s a fascinating perspective on where male fertility research needs to go next.

When should you look beyond the standard semen analysis?

Jonathan Ramsay’s answer: When the whole picture doesn’t add up.

Age. Time trying. Lifestyle. Semen analysis. Previous outcomes.

If everything suggests you should have succeeded, but you haven’t, that’s when it’s worth asking: What else could be going on?

That’s where DNA fragmentation may become part of the investigation.
