I did them for nine years and had a kid 2 years ago and I never pct once lol. If your boys are swimmers they will.

and look at arnold and a ton of other bodybuilders who ran tons of steroids without pct and had kids. the odds must be very, very low
why is everyone running without pct's? did i miss something?
Taking exogenous test will cause testicular atrophy which will cause you to have a low sperm count (or a zero sperm count) while on cycle.
You can take HCG http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/unclez/141546-human-chorionic-gonadotropin-hcg.html
HCG will help restore testicle size and function while on cycle.
After you PCT your balls should start working again and producing.
Even as your sperm count is low while on cycle some guys have had kids while on cycle.
But it will not cause permanent infertility if that is your question. BUT there is alway's a risk that your testicles won't work again coming off but I would say that is a rare thing. Many pro BBer's who use very heavy cycles have had kids (Ronnie Coleman).
Yes they can cause you t be sterile but if you do the right protocol with everything that can help yoyu sat fertile. Bust a nut now and get your wige with children. The longer your on the harder it will be. I did 7 years of invetro while on aas
shit u posted this as i was writing my last comment lol...wierd..
Oh and btw ron is all natural mate just creatine..
goodday sir!

AFAIK even being on for a veryyy long time won't drop your sperm count to zero. It may be seriously reduced but the chances of getting a girl pregnant are still there, it will just be much harder. I believe using HCG for a while will still bring your sperm count back up, and if you use HCG the entire time you should be fairly fertile. Worst comes to worst they can still extract what small amount of sperm you have and do artificial insemination, or you can get em frozen now and have em when you need them.
If the pros can still have kids after many years of continuous HEAVY cycling, you should be able to too, it might just be more difficult

What about WHILE ON CYCLE? does your sperm count drop while youre supplementing with testosterone? I figured it would since the testes atrophy and arnt doing much
and if AAS do drop sperm count, does using HCG counter act this?

Run hcg and pct while keeping cycles shorter will help to keep sperm count from dropping too low.

not sure exactly, I had some off and on shoulder pain when I was lifting in highschool. I was out for a while and it pretty much went away but still felt unstable and clicked etc. Got back to it this year and the pain came back but I ignored it and kept going, so it kept getting worse. My dad had something similar he said but never got it checked out, he just stopped lifting so it may be partially genetic.
Cliffed version: I'm an idiot and kept lifting instead of going to the doctor
i torn my rotator cuff in highschool, never got it looked at and it healed rong. now if i hit a shoulder workout the rong way OMFGnot sure exactly, I had some off and on shoulder pain when I was lifting in highschool.

yep pretty much, no insurance so I told myself I just need to clean up my form and lower the weight and it'll heal. Unfortunately nothing worked and it kept getting worse, considering I took so much time off before and it didn't heal I'm thinking labrum tear or a serious case of impingement. Either way I'll know for sure next week when I get the MRI, god knows they made me wait long enough lol
Well I'm a day late and a dollar short but this might help some of you who were curious.
Anyway FSH and LH is what you should be worried about for making sperm. FSH stimulates the sertoli cells in the testes and the sertoli cells basically make the sperm. LH is needed to boost testosterone production to a high enough concentration to initiate and maintain spermatogenesis.
GnRH, released by the hypothalamus, acts on the pituitary to stimulate secretion of FSH and LH. FSH and LH then act on the testes. Testosterone is stimulated by LH. Testosterone then acts on the hypothalamus to slow production of GnRH in a negative-feedback loop.
So we got:
GnRh at the Hypothalamus -->stimulates LH and FSH at Pituitary (LH stimulates testosterone production, FSH stimulates sperm production)--> both stimulate testes --> Testosterone shuts down GnRH
I know that HCG mimics LH so that the testes can back to work pumping out testosterone. But I don't believe that HCG acts on FSH levels-at least not directly. However, I imagine that the initial decrease in testosterone levels at the beginning of PCT would cause GnRH to spike and also cause FSH to be released. But I may be wrong about that last part. However, the things to look for on bloodwork are LH and FSH. If those two get within normal ranges then your boys should be making sperm again.
