Anavar’s Impact on Male Fertility

Can anyone shed any insight on Anavar’s impact on male fertility? Any studies you can share? We are trying for our second child but I don’t want to take it if it will negatively impact our odds of getting pregnant. I am on TRT but have taken a fertility test that shows I’m still fertile.
 
I don't have the literature on hand, but anavar is one of the less suppressive AAS.

Adding anything that increases AAS load will have a negative impact to fertility...it's just a matter of the magnitude and whether it actually moves the needle.

What TRT dose are you? Are you using HCG? Are you using HMG? How long have you been on TRT

Testosterone is more suppressive than anavar. However, testosterone + anavar is more suppressive than just one of the two.

Thanks for the information. I’ve been on TRT for 18 months @ 75mg/week. I’m not on HCG or HMG. Open to any suggestions.
 
If I were you, I would jump on some HCG + HMG and then run the anavar.

HMG might be over kill but I’m not sure how much wiggle room you’re working with from a TMSC perspective or any morphology metrics.

My suggestion is probably over cautious but I just had to come off after 10 years of AAS use to regain my fertility and get wife pregnant.

Now I’m back on, and a big blast, using generous doses of HCG + HMG to try and preserve fertility.

I would hate to need to stop testosterone again. Shit sucks.

If you have any insight into your sperm health parameters that would be interesting.

But if I had to add one compound that would have the least impact on sperm other than proviron, it would be anavar (as far as I know)

What’s a standard dose to start for HCG if I add it? I’m pretty sensitive to compounds so I wouldn’t think I’d need much.
 
Is it possible for you to come off TRT to try for a second child? Then run what you want after the wife is pregnant.

HMG - I have not tried it, but lots of folks here report good results.

You should also take a look at Trenbolonetax's thread on his fertility journey.

I could come off. Just dreading that. How long did it take you to get the wife pregnant once you came off?

Your suggestions are not overly cautious at all. You already told him the truth in your first post, "Adding anything that increases AAS load will have a negative impact to fertility."

TRT at 75mg is a negative impact, and adding anavar is more negative impact. Your wife may still get pregnant, but you are decreasing the odds.

Maybe you can share your thread with him via a link?

hawkberry04,

Your best odds are coming off completely, running HCG and HMG, then running nothing at all until the wife is pregnant. It takes time for your body to normalize again.

Two kids prior to AAS. Two kids here born after starting AAS, and I came off each time (actually more since my wife lost one).

I am older, my wife is younger, and each person is individual, but the first time my wife was pregnant quickly after I stopped. Maybe she would have become pregnant anyway. I don't know. But I stopped because I knew those were the best odds, and having more children was important to both of us. She had some difficulties after that. As I said, we lost a child late into the pregnancy, and she also had a weird false pregnancy, where her body tested pregnant and an egg implanted but it was not fertilized. Strange stuff, and a bit traumatic for my wife, who wanted yet another child very badly. So there was a period of years where she was pregnant more than not, or it seemed like that. It took a while for the second child (after AAS), but he is a healthy and wicked smart little second grader that spent the afternoon shooting a .22 rifle with me in the backyard yesterday.

Your best odds are coming off of everything, even the PCT stuff. Your body is made to impregnate females. You could impregnate an entire harem if you had access to them. Your body will do its job if you stop interfering with its functions and let it do what it will naturally do.

I don't recall, but I believe it was somewhere between 750iu and 1500iu weekly. I want to say 500iu 3x per week. With the goal being to normalize ITT (intra testicular testosterone).

Here it is: 500iu EoD Low-dose human chorionic gonadotropin maintains intratesticular testosterone in normal men with testosterone-induced gonadotropin suppression - PubMed
 
I could come off. Just dreading that. How long did it take you to get the wife pregnant once you came off?
~6.5 months. Went from almost 0 sperm to 63 million sperm per mL.

Can you share your sperm analysis with PII redacted? You may not need to come off. But no one will know unless you have more in depth information other than you're "fertile."
 
@hawkberry04 here's 2 links. the first is my fertility journey (couple posts down from top post)
