Joining us this week on The Male Fertility Podcast is Tony Suckling - here to share his long and emotional fertility journey.

After years of trying to conceive with his wife with no success, Tony decided to take a basic sperm test. The results showed a low sperm count, prompting him to make lifestyle changes in the hope of improving it.

When nothing worked, they turned to a fertility clinic. At their first consultation, Tony was told they wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally.

Tony shares how the clinic’s focus was solely on his wife – despite him being the one with a low sperm count. No further tests were done on him, leaving him feeling overlooked. This led to him emotionally shut down, avoiding conversations and isolating himself.

Tony and his wife eventually sought out a new clinic in Spain, where they experienced exceptional care and compassion. After finding the strength to continue their treatment, they were able to move forward – and now have a beautiful daughter.

Tony and Ciaran reflect on their shared experiences, including an Everest trip that became a significant turning point for both of them. Together, they discuss the lows, the feelings of inadequacy, and how connecting with others helped them heal.

His biggest piece of advice: Get tested early and thoroughly. Don’t avoid it – taking action puts you one step ahead.
