It was just their third date when Sophie and her new love interest Dillon visited a fertility clinic.
The pair had already discussed intimacy with a chronic condition, egg freezing and other "unsexy topics".
For Sophie Richards, 29, those early conversations were just part of the daunting prospect of finding love when you have endometriosis, which can cause infertility.
The condition means cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other parts of the body, which can lead to symptoms including period pain, fatigue, plus pain in the lower tummy and back.
When Sophie first met her now fiancé, Wales rugby international Dillon Lewis, she felt she had to be up front.
