Can i get pregnant eventho my partner is taken body enhancements (steriods) ??

[Karlie]

I am due to gey my merina coil out on wednesday and not guna be using any contreceptive but my partner is a body builder and uses steriods... Now he says i wont be able to get pregnant whilst he is using but if we were to try he wud have to use something to make his sperm go back to normal, eventho hes said that i still think tht i could get pregnant!! Has anybody had this happen or is wot my partner is sayn right?

Hiya hun,

I have never been in this situation myself but I have read that taking steriods is just as affective to harming the sperm as is smoking, drinking and drug taking.. So he is correct in a way but not entirely correct. It can affect the sperm and kill it but there is still always a chance of getting pregnant.

Hope this helps

Oohh really? FX the fortune teller is talking about you!!

Have you spoke to your partner about it? Is he willing to cut out the steriods? I guess if he is a body builder it would be a big step for him to cut it out completely?

Personally I would buy a male sperm test kit (saves him going through the embarrasment of the doctors) and test his sperm and see how the steriods are damaging his sperm. Atleast that will get your first burden out the way and then you can take it from there.

Have a look at the link.

Theres loads of differant types and they seem cheaper on ebay. I couldn't recommend any particular one though as my OH has never used one. Im sure if you ask in the Pregnancy Chat thread one of the girls in there may be able to give you more help on these.

i think with most things there is a chance that he could be infertile from the steroids but probably just as much chance that he isn't. sory if i not much help, you hear so many bad stories though about steroids that they make you angy and horrible but i presume he not one of them so same thing with his sperm, it can effect some but not others.

 

[Karlie]

Yea he thinks hes infertile but therea only one way to find out.... And if he is then hel hav to go to the doctors n see what they can do... What can doctors do??

HI my best friends partner is on steroids and after being on the pill herself three years she thought their chances of conceiving would be very low. however once they decided they wanted a baby she stopped the pill but he continued with his steroids within the first month although having very little time for sex she managed to get pregnant. so there is still hope babe she swears it was because she put her legs up after haha good luck xx
