If you use testosterone year round is there ever a chance of impotence due to testicular atrophy even though you are still taking the test?
Yeah i read that study about using test as a contraceptive.... interestingwhile your on exogeneous testosterone you are sterile, shooting blanks, unfertile, or however you want to say it.
big pharmacy companies are testing testosterone and it's derivatives as a male contraceptive. it's supposedly more effective than the female pill...
Thanks Man that is exactly the answer i was looking forWow, whole big thread and nobody has answered your question. . .
No, taking test for a prolonged time will not make you impotent. It will make you sterile but not impotent.

My thoughts exactly!i personally don't really think its that dumb of an idea if you are A) a national level competitor or B) older and don't want any more kids
of course it would be best to drop down to 200mg/wk every 12-16 weeks for a month or so
but yes prolonged use will lead to potentially reversible sterility

You know what they call guys on a heavy test cycle who have sex with no condom?
Daddy
MANY guys have gotten their wives pregnent while on cycle. I am not sure where people are getting their info that you can not.
CROWLER
i showed proof; now it's your turn. give me a documented example of a suppressed (using exogeneous hormones for a period of time) man getting his mate pregnant. until that happens i'll stick with the pubmed stuff.lol so how do we explain bbs on AS getting their gfs and wives preg?
IMO NOT a good birth controle
Bud, if you've had cancer, do NOT mess around with AAS/PH's. Others here might tell you that AAS might not exacerbate previous cancerous problems, but they are wrong. Sides get worse with age using anabolics...even at HRT doses. Don't put yourself at risk for BPH, cholesterol, etc. especially when you're a cancer survivor. And yes, you will still eventually get supressed.Here's a scenario for you: Healthy male in his 50's. Cancer survivor. But the intense chemo left him with a reduced sex drive, minor ED and some testicular atrophy. Blood work puts his test at ~ 600, so HRT was not prescribed. Can a man like this do his own HRT by augmenting his own test production year round?. Since technically he's not shutdown, would he eventually be? Will the test increase his sex drive and aid his performance? Right now he's considering starting 4-AD at a very low dosage; about 100mg daily. What would you fellas recommend?
I would say yes, give it a try. Just keep your dosages on an HRT level and get frequent check ups. I am not nearly as conservative as alot of guys around here but you can certainly do this responsibly. If you have any health concerns I would hop off and address them ASAP. Other wise I see no reason to be overly cautious, just be careful.Here's a scenario for you: Healthy male in his 50's. Cancer survivor.

First of all, this is about a friends husband, not me. She said they talked to their oncologist about this. He was the one that ordered the testosterone blood test. Had there been a contraindication for HRT, he would have told them at that time. And Viagra only helps you to perform, it does nothing for your libido. "The shoes may make you run faster, but you've got to come to the race wanting to run".Bud, if you've had cancer, do NOT mess around with AAS/PH's.

As for help in ED dept. go see your doc for some cialis, viagra, etc...tell him about your libido problems, that's what they are there for....good luck.
bump for thoughts on this post...No, year round test won't make you sterile, and you don't have to freeze some sperm just to be safe. Your nuts actually work better after a complete shutdown cause it regrows the layer of leydig(sp) cells that produce testosterone. We all had tiny testicles as children before LH kicked in to make them bigger and it didn't make us permanently sterile. What can mess you up though is supraphysiological levels of HCG, so by that rational, year round use in a HRT manner is much safer than the way many people cycle.
