Answer

Direct answer

Separate a disclosed diagnosis from unverified assumptions about fertility; neither a family member nor a profile label can provide an individual prognosis.

Discuss expectations about children respectfully without demanding a guarantee or blaming one sex. Any relevant medical questions should be taken, with consent, to a qualified clinician who can assess the actual situation. Keep records confidential and avoid compulsory informal testing. General infertility information can explain a health issue, but it cannot predict a particular person's reproductive future.
