Reece Conca - Tackling Male Infertility

from The Imperfects · host Hugh van Cuylenburg, Ryan Shelton & Josh van Cuylenburg

All too often when talking about infertility, we only tell one side of the story. Traditionally in the public discourse, it has very much fallen into the category of a ‘women’s issue’. However, as our guest this week Reece Conca can all too painfully attest, 40% of infertility issues are actually male factor related. Reece Conca is a former Australian Rules Footballer, who played over 150 games for Richmond and Freemantle. When Reece and his partner Bell were finding it difficult to conceive, it took them far too long to discover that Reece has a condition called Azoospermia, which effects 1% of men - a condition where in Reece had no sperm in his semen. In this Vulnerabiltea House, Reece speaks openly and honestly about the physical and emotional toll of a fertility journey he is very much still on, the hormone injections, the surgeries and much, much more.  To follow Annabelle and Reece on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@annabelleandreeceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
