Stupid Question

[grahf2]

Just wondering for educational purposes if your natural testostorone ever recovers after using steroids.(duh-i know it depends on if you eat right,train right,and have a good natural build,and use them reasonably:not drinking a gallon of winny a day-joking,please dont do)( I AM NOT USING OR WILL I WITHIN 10 YRS!!)

But does it recover and if it does how many month/or years does it take for just one or two cycles a year?? I know different roids have different effects,but try to answer without all the specifics,the answer doesnt have to be exact,just enough for basic info.

You need to introduce yourself to the "search feature" on this board. Just type in "recovery" or "PCT" as a keyword to get tons of info. Be patient, read and learn, then feel free to ask more specific questions.

( I AM NOT USING OR WILL I WITHIN 10 YRS!!)

Then dude, ask us 9-1/2 years from now.

 

[mlong23]

We kind of need some examples, how long a cycle are you talking about and what different substances?

 

[grahf2]

Please dont tell me to search.I have searched and I can find the answers I am looking for thats why I am asking!!!!!

As I stated, 2-3 cycles a year of something light like primo,test,or var. Nothing big or injected.

Just wanna get a basic idea on this,all I find here is for people who have been using for years,I just wanna answer to the question above.thats all-hate to sound like an ass,I guess I am just frustrated at not getting any help

LMAO ...He is just kiddding...good luck

 

[thx9000]

First of all, test is usually injected....

Your question isn't straight forward. Supression is much less with some compounds and much worse with others. Recovery is much faster and easier with some compounds than others. Recovery greatly effected by your age and overall health.

Very, very generally speaking...If you run a modestly dosed cycle of modest compounds for a modest length of time and follow-up with a solid well planned PCT then you should be well on your way to recovery within a couple of months and completely recovered in a few months. All assuming you are young, healthy and had an otherwise good hormone profile prior to your cycle.

i find it a legitimate question most certainly worthy of a discussion.

bro.. it really depends on what gear you used and the duration of use.

it also depends on your natural test levels... genetics.

i'm no expert on the topic but would also love to see some knowledgable bros shed some light here.

They only thing u ear lately here is do a SEARCH.

Total infertility from heavy aas is not very likely - and if it occurs it is reversable and successful.

Effect of androgenic anabolic steroids on sperm quality and serum hormone levels in adult male bodybuilders.

Torres-Calleja J, Gonzalez-Unzaga M, DeCelis-Carrillo R, Calzada-Sanchez L, Pedron N.

Unidad de Investigacion Medica en Biologia de la Reproduccion, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Mexico, DF.

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of the administration of high doses of androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) on endocrine and semen parameters. Thirty volunteering bodybuilders were studied (ages ranging between 26.6 +/- 4.1 years). A history of anabolic steroid administration was recorded for fifteen subjects, and results of semen analysis and endocrine parameters were compared with data from fifteen bodybuilders not using steroids. In those subjects using AAS, eight had sperm counts under the lower normal limit (20 x 10(6) sperm/ml), three had azoospermia, two polyzoospermia, and two had normal sperm counts. The percentage of morphologically normal sperm was significantly reduced, only 17.7% had normal spermatozoa. In the control group, only one subject had oligozoospermia. The hormonal parameters revealed reduced FSH (1.5 +/- 3.2 vs 5.0 +/- 1.6, p < 0.001) and PRL (5.1 +/- 4.9 vs 9.2 +/- 4.4, p < 0.01) levels. LH, T, E2 and DHEA levels did not vary.

Reversible hypogonadism and azoospermia as a result of anabolic-androgenic steroid use in a bodybuilder with personality disorder. A case report.

We report a case of reversible hypogonadism and azoospermia resulting from anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse in a body-builder with primary personality disorder. A keen body builder, a 20-year-old man, developed acute aggressive and destructive behavior after 10-month use of Bionabol (mean total dose of 1,120 mg per month), and Retabolil (mean total dose of 150 mg per month). He was found to meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV ed. (DSM-IV) criteria for Borderline personality disorder. On admission to the hospital the clinical profile of the patient showed extremely low levels of serum testosterone. Values increased to normal levels 10 months after withdrawal of steroids. The semen was azoospermic at the beginning of the study period, oligospermic five months later, and reached 20 x 10(6) sperm per mL ten months after the steroid discontinuation. Anabolic steroids can greatly affect the male pituitary-gonadal axis. A hypogonadal state, characterized by decreased serum testosterone and impaired spermatogenesis, was induced in the patient. This condition was reversible after the steroid withdrawal, but the process took more than ten months. His personal imbalance could be considered a personality trait rather than a result of the anabolic-androgenic steroid use. There were probably dispositional personality characteristics that contributed to anabolic steroid abuse in our patient. The hypogonadal changes which occurred after his long-term steroid abuse were for the most part reversible.

The reversibility of anabolic steroid-induced azoospermia.

Scott Department of Urology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.

Anabolic steroid associated male infertility is a little known but potentially treatable form of drug related infertility. We report on a bodybuilder with a 5-year history of steroid use who was azoospermic. He underwent successful gonadotropin replacement and conception was achieved 3 months after therapy was initiated. Important diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in steroid-induced infertility are discussed.

Anabolic steroids and semen parameters in bodybuilders.

Knuth UA, Maniera H, Nieschlag E.

Max Planck Clinical Research Unit for Reproductive Medicine, Munster, Federal Republic of Germany.

The influence of high-dose anabolic steroid administration on endocrine and semen parameters of 41 bodybuilders (age, 26.7 +/- 0.7 years [mean +/- SEM]; height, 182 +/- 1 cm; weight, 97.5 +/- 2.0 kg) was investigated. History of anabolic steroid administration was recorded retrospectively, and results of semen analysis were compared with data from 41 consecutively recruited normal volunteers not using any steroids or other drugs. Doses of anabolic steroids taken by bodybuilders exceeded those generally applied for clinical purposes by up to 40-fold. Although only 5 of the normal volunteers had sperm counts below the lower normal limit of 20 x 10(6) sperm/mL, 24 of the bodybuilders showed subnormal values. Depending on the duration of anabolic steroid use and the period since last drug intake before the investigation, percentages of motile and normally formed sperm were significantly reduced in bodybuilders compared with normal volunteers. In those bodybuilders who had stopped consumption of anabolic steroids greater than 4 months previously, sperm numbers were in the normal range. Results suggest that even after prolonged use of extremely high doses of anabolic steroids, sperm production may return to normal
