OK fellas I need some answers to this. Dose anyone know if while your on a cycle of test will it effect your sperm counts and how? Will it lower them? Me and my fieance are trying to get pregnant and she has no problem with me taking test and she even said she wanted to do the shots for me. She just wants to make sure it's not going to hinder our progress if I start a cycle. So can anyone help me out?
Yes. It will lower sperm count, probably significantly, and, new sperm takes 90 days from initial formation until it's actually "useful". So, if you are using test (or any other steroid), it will be atleast 90 days from the time that it completely clears your system (and your system has had time to recover to normal) until you see any marked improvement in your count. May also effect motility (which is just as bad).
An optimum count for fertility purposes is 10 million per ml. . .below 5 million fertility becomes questionable. . .below 2 million is infertile.
Clomid helps, I can atest to that. . .I've got one on the way that we never expected. . .but it took a whole year of clomid at 25mg ed and, like most people will tell you, clomid use for extended periods can make you kind of "pissy".
Bottomline. . .if you're working on a family, get off and stay off, for a while. Plus, get tested, it's no biggie. They'll usually let you make your "sample" at home (where you can get some help

) and then bring it in to be tested.
