not sure if this is the correct forum, however i would like a little input from you guys. Does the use of steroids permantly affect the bodies ability to produce sperm capable of impregnating a woman? I have only done very mild roids such as primo and winny, but am about to start a cycle of sustanon. I am very concerned that it will decrease my chances of having kids, just wanted your input. Thanks.

It might be hard for you to get your lady while you are on the stuff cuz of the low sperm count but usually normal cycles with a time on = time off approach with moderate doses dont really make anyone sterile.
[CLOMID works best to restore fertility.
-600mg at peak. My gains have been great and I've never had complications. In addition, I always follow PCT therapy with nolvadex, clomid, and depending on the mix even low level shots of HCG. Never had much ball shrinkage during cycle or significant drops in weight or strength after my cycles. I'm usually off , the same amount of time on.
Anyway, my wife and I have been trying to have a baby and havent been able to over the last year. I have been off for the year. My sperm count was get this...5-10...yes, only 5 to 10 little guys, you should have 50 to 60 MILLION. Anyway, now I'm seeing a fertility doctor and it looks as if though invitro may be the only way, if thats even possible. The doctor says he sees this all the time with ex steroid users. BE AWARE. I love juicing but this has been a severe wake up call that I'm not too happy with. Be careful i f you are ever planning of having KIDS[/QUOTE]

every bit of info and research i've seen on the boards has indicated to me that moderate, responsible AAS use will not cause impotency. i've seen many anecdotal (sp?) examples to support. everything effects people differently, you may have had a low count all along. tought o say. good luck

None of the research that I've read would indicate a permenant decrease in sperm production secondary to responsible aas use. Although Swale has commented on deca being harsh on sperm production. My point is that introduction of exogenous testosterone signals the body to stop producing testosterone because the body is detecting more test than normal. The hypothalamus signals the pituitary to stop producing LH and FSH and GnRH. Without sufficient levels of LH and FSH, the leydig cells in the testes will not be effecient in producing test and sperm. Now when you stop taking exogenous test, your body detects a decrease in test and it will eventually tell your balls to start producing more test and sperm. The problem is that this feedback loop may take longer than is acceptable for bodybuilding purposes. That's why we take HCG, which acts like LH in stimulating the leydig cells in the testes, and why we take GnRH(clomid)....to hopefully jumpstart the process.
So one should expect to see a full recovery in test and sperm levels if proper pcr is used after a responsible aas cycle.

that sucks
Sorry to hear about your problem bro. Did aas cause all your problems? If so, what is your use history? Did you have your sperm counted before you realized you had a problem? Low sperm count is more common than one would think. And I agree that there are exceptions to every case.
Good luck

OK I posted the other day that I gave a sample and it came back 0 sperm count ( I have 3 kids yougest is 4 ) So I called my Endro. ( speeling? ) Did a blodd test and results just came back..He said my testosteron levels are off the chart ( I ended a 12 week cycle 2 monthes ago ) He told me that it is effecting a lot of things including my pituatery ( Sorry about spelling ) glands and moer than likly is the reason for my 0 sperm count..Wants to retest me in 3 months..Ill keep you informed but to all that dont think these roids will effect you if your trying to have a kid, think again!! Im proff!! BTW after my wife is preg and everything looks good than Ill start my next cycle but it may take awhile for sure!!

About the same here, however I always stay on a minimum of 500mgs per week...I have 2 healthy boys who were both conceived while I was on....by the way, I never come off...pretty much been on straight for 9 years now with maybe a 30-60 day break a couple of times.DrCypionate said:i've spent 80% of the last three years on >1 gram of test and my wife's pregnant right now while i'm cruising at 1.8 grams of prop/week
