Geordie Shore's Sophie Kasaei has fertility breakthrough after years of 'pain'

Daily Mirror26-05-2025
After a long and difficult journey to start a family, Sophie Kasaei and Jordan Brooks open up about the unexpected medical discoveries that have given them new hope
Sophie Kasaei and Jordan Brooks from Geordie Shore have opened up about their fertility battle, sharing a significant update after a challenging journey. Fans have followed their story on The Only Way is Essex, where they've been candid about the obstacles they've encountered while trying to conceive.
Recently, the couple took to Instagram to update their followers on their progress. Sophie, perched on Jordan's knee, explained: "So me and Jordan have been waiting to do this video. Because we were waiting because we wanted to see where we're gonna be at in our fertility journey."

They shared they felt now was the right moment to talk openly about their experience. Sophie revealed: "So not long ago, a couple of months ago, we got the first bit of news. I had something called Ureaplasma but Ureplasma is like an embedded bacteria that can cause infertility and I knew nothing about this."

She went on to say: "And in the UK they never tested for it. And this testing that we've been getting is more like immunology testing. And they test for everything. And Ureaplasma would have caused a lot of infertility anyways."
Jordan chimed in, describing the fix as surprisingly straightforward: "That was very a simple fix, which we couldn't believe." Sophie agreed but added: "Now I was a little bit worried, how do I get rid of this? And that was literally a course of antibiotics."
Jordan mentioned the couple had to abstain from intimacy for two weeks during Sophie's treatment. Still, once the antibiotics were done, questions lingered as to why conception wasn't happening.
Their journey continued with blood tests back in the UK, where they discovered they were a partial DQ alpha match - something that also impacts implantation. But they shared a silver lining: this too could be treated.

Alongside their video, the pair wrote: "It's been a long road and looking for answers comes with so many stresses and worries. We can now say finally after over 2 years we have got some answers on our fertility journey.
"I was recommended Fertilysis from a few girls who have had amazing success stories so I thought let's give it a try! We found out firstly that I had a bacteria called Ureaplasma that causes infertility - why no one ever tested me for this in UK I do not know.
"But a course of antibiotics and it was gone. We then had our bloods sent off to see what's going on in our immunology and we got even more answers! We found out we are a partial DQ alpha match which also affects implantation. But there is even more hope as this can be treated too.

"I just wish we knew about @fertilysis sooner. I know now we are in the best hands and the outcome is going to be amazing. Finally feeling hopeful and can finally see some light after a challenging few years. Next it's off to Athens to get the next batch of treatments."
In other news, The Sun recently disclosed the real reason behind Sophie's departure from Geordie Shore. The star had been in discussions with the show's network for several months, seeking a pay increase that reflected her significant contributions.

Jessie J admitted to hospital weeks after cancer surgery

However, the 37-year-old shared that doctors instead discovered an 'infection' and 'a little fluid', weeks after undergoing surgery for breast cancer. Jessie said she has since discharged herself from the same hospital where she was treated after breast cancer surgery, announcing in July that she had since seen 'no cancer spread'. A post shared by Jessie J (@jessiej) In a post on Instagram, the Price Tag singer told her followers: 'Six weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned. 'I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung, it is not a blood clot thank god. 'They ran a lot of tests, which ended up showing I have an infection (still trying to figure out what) and a little fluid on my lungs. 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.' She went on to say it was 'frustrating' that her career plans had to change due to her surgery and hospital visits, and added that she had been 'working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all'. Jessie continued: 'I know for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery. 'The recovery physically is far from quick or easy, and mentally it's been the most challenging time for me, especially as a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am.' The former coach on The Voice said her visit to hospital was a 'reminder to myself to slow down' even though she felt she was already at a slow pace.
