Permanent Sterility from AAS Use

[J DUB]

I have been searching through PubMed and other journal searches (not done yet), but I have yet to find a study showing someone who was determined to be permanently sterile from steroid use. Most of what I have read has suggested that most side effects, including reduced sperm count, are reversible after discontinuing use.

I feel that this could happen, esp. is one uses them for extended periods of time at above TRT doses, but cannot find any documentation. If anyone can point me in this direction I would appreciate it, as this could be something that will make people think twice, or hopefully three or four times, before using AAS.

Yes I sometimes wonder about this myself.

 

[SWALE]

I have personally seen it happen clinically.

As you all know, I'm not much of one for posting studies.

Well I have communicated with several fellows that were on for more than a year and never recovered natural Test Production.

I'm not saying they ever will but it does take quite some time to recover from that long of a cycle. I read a story about a guy on AAS for years and it took 16 months of PCT before he finally got natural test back... I was going to put this in another post but i figure i'd ask here... Does everyones testicles shrink when on cycle and sperm count seem to lower because i am ejaculating a hell of a lot more during sex and i'm in my 6th(about that maybe longer now)week of Tren(600mg/week).

Manwhore,

Let me first say I always feel unconfortable describig my past usage of AAS on message boards, especially a thread that deals with true "TRT". Well here it goes:

Every past cycle I have noticed a great deal of atrophy, but for me it never started to really happen untill the 8th week. The changes are a really burned out feeling, no interest in sex, hard to maintain an erection, and very watery ejaculate. But everybody is different, some crash hard, some dont. I also think these side effects are increased with age. I say this because I started to dwell into AAS cycles during my teen years, starting around age 17. During those times, I never really had an issue with "shrunken testicles" or the like, but as the years continued on, 10+ years I noticed a great deal of shut down. What are your thoughts.

I've done my 1st cycle when i was 18(Dbol/Test)but i don't remember that far back how it went other than i gained some size and strength. I'm 34 now and used AAS maybe 4X other than when i was 18. I don't feel any different than when off cycle other than the sexdrive increase,harder erections but that's a sexdrive thing,and increased sperm which may also be a sexdrive thing. I think some need longer cycles to get the most of the gear and some don't.

D, thank you for your consideration with respect to maintaining the integrity of this Forum. However, hypogonadism secondary to AAS brings lots of guys here, and so is fair game. We just stay away from discussing PCT as it pertains to recurring cycles.

Are there any simple test that can be done, say at home to check and see what your sperm count is? I have stayed on for a long time and just recently went off...so I wonder if my boys are still kicking--

Of course. you just need a measuring cup and a girl

Walgreens has a cheaper one for $30. Go to google and type in FertilMarq.

Youve only used AAS 4x since you were 18?

Yes but i'm making up for it this cycle .... Since i dropped the 250mg/week/test my sexdrive has gone down or rather is normal right now. It feels so much better not being horny all day long but still having a sexdrive when i need it. I still have night sweats but last Tren shot was Thurs so lets see how long that lasts. I'm deffinitaly tighter but i really need to start eating better

 

[SWALE]

I was supporting this thread because it deals with a topic many who come to us for hypogonadism advice can relate to.

But let's not discuss steroid use here, please. Thank you.

 

[MANWHORE]

Sorry i got off the subject...
