Sperm Quality/Sterility? I want to have kids someday

[jeremys]

I'm sure we've all heard that sperm reduction and sterility are side affects of AAS use. The sperm reduction is of course true, but has anybody -actually- gone sterile from AAS use?

I just got done reading some studies saying that it may take up to 12 months after suspected azoospermia to return to normal levels, and some may have complications for a couple years.

So does it ALWAYS -eventually- come back?

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.

All i know is ive been on mega cycles and got my wife pregnant with both of my kids while ON cycle. Each time she got pregnant just 1 month after stopping the pill! It never bothered me and I was using some pretty suppressive stuff.
