Infertility is not hereditary. Obviously if someone was infertile, there would be no offspring to pass on their defunct genes to! However a low-sperm count could be genetic.
There is also some medications that women have innocently taken in past that have caused their offspring to have difficulties - such has an anti-morning sickness drug from the 60's caused many girls to be born with an incomplete cervix.
There is no medical reason I can think of that would cause both male and female offspring to be infertile. It could be just a coincidence his siblings are having difficulties conceiving. And presumably your b'f is quite a different age from his siblings and from a different relationship, this means that their physical environment was different growing up. This would rule out an environmental problem (ie exposure to radiation).
I would not worry too much about it, but if you are trying to conceive and are having difficulties, it would be a valid point to ponder.

What are some reasons Athena and Poseidon dont get along?
For one thing, they competed on who would be the patron god or goddess of Athens. Athena created a olive tree, and Poseidon created a saltwater spout. Athena won, and the competition obviously created some tension.
In addition, Medusa was Poseidon's girlfriend, and they had arranged to "meet" in Athena's temple. This enraged Athena, and she turned Medusa into the snake- haired petrify-you-at-a-glance Medusa we commonly think of.
<Medusa is a gorgon. Her two sisters were immortal, scaly creatures, while she was beautiful and mortal, until Athena got mad at her (see above).

What was Athena's family background?
Athena is the goddess that was truly Zeus and Metis' child but ther was a prophecy that Metis would bear a child more powerful than the father. To solve the problem, Zeus swallowed the pregnant Metis and Athena was born within Zeus. Soon Zeus was in great pain and Hephaestus--the god or goddess varies depending on story--took a double-bladed ax and cut open Zeus's head. There Athena came out, clothed in armor and fully-grown. Most do not think of Athena as Metis's child but just Zeus's because she had come from his head. Athena was the daughter of Zeus. She came out of his head, and so it is believed that her mother was Metis, who Zeus had changed into a fly and swallowed. Zeus had 2 brothers and three sisters, they were consequently Athena's uncles and aunts.
Why are intertwined snakes a symbol of Athena?
Athena came to Greece from the island of Crete, and may have originated as an early Near Eastern goddess. In the very early times, she was represented with snakes in her hair and on the hem of her dress. Athena was originally a sun goddess, and the snakes in her hair may have represented the rays of the sun. There is some evidence that some early Middle Eastern sun gods were represented with long hair or snakes on their heads.
