I know more then a few guys that knocked up there girls well juicing.

 

[automaticj5]

Yeah thats been pretty recent that we talked about that on here -- My gf just been talking with one of her best friends about her hubby and they cant have a baby due to infertility and one of the ?'s the doc asked is if he had done steroids -- well he hadnt but it scared my gf -- cause she is uneducated about it all and doesnt care to be educated on it -- I know a bit about it and of course anything is possible, but I always like to learn more about everything so I decided to see what knowledge I can gain from all of you..

Steroids do effect your fertility. I was just reading a post on another board about the new birth control out for men and it is baically test. People can produce sperm while on cycle but it will be reduced, sometimes significanty. I've also been around long enough to see many post about people who have destroyed their natural test production and have their testes shrink like raisins permamently. PCT is a necessity but we all react differenty. Some people never recover.

Had a son while on.

[DBBT]

take HCG every four weeks (for a couple weeks 2-300iu twice weekly) during cycle.

I've done 3 sperm tests so far - just did the 3rd one yesterday so dont know what results are yet but im guessing im probably still at zero... While I cant say for sure I was zero sperm before doing cycles but the endo that i've gone to as well as the urologist both seem sure that it was steroids that made my production = none. I've been clean for past 7 months and im hoping that my sperm analysis yesterday may have somethng in it but im also thinking that im still not producing and that it may be a long time utnil i do (if ever....which would be so bad since we are trying to conceive now)....

what is your cycle history?

 

[Just Add Muscle]

Plenty of people have gone sterile from juicing.I have a few friends that use and they dont use any kind of birth control for years and do not have any kids.It is definitely a huge factor in sperm count.

what is your cycle history?

i;ve done 7-8 cycles. about 2 per year. last few were heavy.. never again
if i come back and we conceive my next cycle will be like 500mg test. thats it. no more triple compounds/heavy etc..

Shit - they never bounced back? or they just never stopped cycling? Im worried I'm sterile for good.. but then I read about how it takes time and isnt permanent... so i keep hope

Im pretty sure they never come off most of the year because they always look like they are on.

Thats funny, I see them often

sperm production almost always resumes once you stop using steriods. I think. atleast for the male birth control method of testosterone.

I really hope so - takes a while though huh...
I did PCT after every cycle yet my blood test results after my last cycle(I never had any until my last cycle was over...) came back bad. test was like 96, fsh and lh were extremely low. 3months later those figures came back normal but still no sperm..

i have done more research on this subject that i should have but the docs are all over the map---the conclusion is that everyone is different--most return to normal within 1-28 months....w/ perm. infertility very very very rare (and maybe not even attrib to the gear).

that is good to hear - 28 months though .. wow... thanks bro.

that is the extreme though--i think the mean in one test (no pun intended) was four months w/o any pct at all.

nice - ! although i dont want to get my hopes up for my results from yesterdays sperm analysis.. im almost afraid to see the results... its been 7 months since off so i'd like to see some swimmers in there and so would my fiancee (who has no idea about my past AAS use).

i had 60 million w/good motility and form--they died a bit sooner than normal that was the only issue--and this was in the middle of 500/500 sust/equipo.

i did use hcg 2x a week at about 250 a shot for weeks 3-14.

[HAYEZ]

[automaticj5]

Sounds like bodies react differently for sure...

I was on heavy and couldnt knock up the old lady. I just switched to some clomid, hcg , zinc, vitamin c and switched to boxers and it took like a month.

Did you come off completely when you did that or just threw it in while on?
