AAS and Fathering Children.. What's the Truth?

[jrs]

I've searched extensively on several forums, as well as PubMed

Test is used as a birth control in some countries, with a supposed success rate of 99.7% (higher than the pill for women)

But anecdotal evidence shows a LOT of guys have gotten their girls pregnant mid-cycle or deep into LONG cycles.

Which is it?

I've had over 5 cycles so far, and I seem to recover fine. But the one thing that would matter most to me is eventually fathering a child. I don't want to take the chance of messing that up, but at the same time I don't want to be a worrywart and miss out on what I love to do.

From what I've found, AAS reduces sperm count drastically, but does not affect the mobility of the sperm. Thus, some say that "it only takes one swimmer to get to the egg".. is this an accurate assumption?

It is certainly age dependant. I think the younger you are the more quickly your sperm count will come back to normal.

But dont mistake volume after ejaculation as an indicator for a healthy sperm count.

Yeah it just takes one. But the huge majority dont make, so it's the #'s that count.

I have read alot of studies about steroid use for birth control. The loss of fertility is only temporary and fertility returns after the use is stopped. Aslo test alone only seems to work as birth control for asian men for some reason.

I've been on for 10 years with almost no breaks usually well of 1g of test per week min. I have a 5 year oold & a 1 year old.
I take clomid every few months...

I am 38 and knocked up the wifey 12 weeks into a cycle where I mistakenly thought I would be safe...NOT. Have a healthy 3 month old son.

I'd been on a long test cycle when my wife got pregnant, we had a perfect little girl.

I was on for almost 7 years and after 3.5 years, my youngest girl was conceived. Oh, and the dosing wasn't low. : ) I have plenty of clients and friends in this same boat and I honestly can't understand where they get the 99.5% number for using test as birth control. In my experience and that of a lot of friends and clients, it isn't that high, for sure.

Now, my little girl has a foot coming out of her forehead but that is neither here nor there.
