Did anyone ever have their sperm count checked before, during, and after a cycle? I know that a persons sperm count will lower, but I want to know how much. My girl and I want to have kids within a year or so.

Well then i would stay away until after the kid. If you wanna have one in a year then you gotta get her preg in the next 3 months.

To be honest that's something I have always worried about and when I asked on another board I had a dozen people say they have knocked up their women on cycle, and many that hava had kids just after. To be on the safe side you might want to hold off, but from what I have gathered on the board it's not a problem. I've always heard it as a side effect from the media, but no one on the board has said they have had a problem other then a scammer that was on this board, that you never know if he's telling the truth.

I dont believe for a second that you become sterile from using steroids responsibly, but you would think if your on cycle and shut down, where would the sperm come from? I guess its hard to tell esp if your taking hcg when and if your shut down. That make any sense?

I read a long time ago, that 100mg test a week is a 99% effective birthcontrol (the pill is only 97%). But with inhibitors and what not that people add to their cycles I don't know if its still valid.

I remember where I read it, but I will not tell to avoid self embarassment.

Of course think about, those numbers for a sec. If you have sex 1000 times, that would mean 30 pill failures, surely one of those would result in a kid. But that isn't really the case I guess. Instead I think its more like 99.9999% effective for some people and only 50/50 (or some number) for others. Averages out to 97%, but the distribution is modal (bi, tri, etc.). Depends on which of the groups you're in I suppose.

I heard if you run the HGC during the cycle it keeps the sperm count up
