It took computer buff Scott Reed a while to finally click on to why he couldn’t become a dad.
He and wife Laura from Clanfield, Hants in England tried in vain to start a family before doctors told him the laptop he always rested on his knees was to blame.
They said the PC was generating so much heat that his sperm was being damaged.
Scott, 30, immediately switched to using the laptop on a table – and three months later Laura, also 30, became pregnant with daughter Taryn.
Laura, a pathologist, said: “I’ve never heard of this happening before. It was a real shock.
“Scott would use his laptop in the evenings for a couple of hours on and off while we were watching television. We had absolutely no idea the damage it was causing him.”
Biomedical expert Sue Kenworthy confirmed: “Men should place the laptop on a table rather than their lap.” Source: www.mirror.co.uk
