Can steroids affect fertility?
My husband is a bodybuilder and he uses steroids for growth before competing, he has used steroids on and off for 10 years.
Will this affect his fertility, as we want to start trying for a baby this year. Are there any medications that he can take or any suggestions you have to get his hormone levels and sperm count 'back to normal"?

The steroids can affect sperm count but,as soon as he stops the steroids, his sperm count should be back to normal within about 3 months.
