Avodart, Oral Spiro, Fertility

General Discussion
#1

I was in a bad place in my mid-20’s, so the only thing I had going for me was hair I couldn’t lose.

I was on Avodart from 2004 through 2010 – 7 years. I was also on about 200mg of oral spiro (God save me) for about two of those years.

Currently, I’m 38, and while I don’t have brain fog or anything like that, I need Viagra to get an erection after being off everything for five years now.

My ejaculate force is zero and I don’t have a lot of ejaculate. But what I’m most worried about is infertility. I can’t get tested just yet, for a few reason, but I’m concerned about the DNA changes. Sure, the literature suggests a partial return to baseline, but the DNA methylation is a concern. I know people have successfully conceived while on/off the drugs – that’s the only reason why I was on the meds in the first place. I thought any changes would be reversible.

But does the hive mind think that long-term destruction of androgens can lead to permanent infertility? Stuff that even IVF treatments can’t help. I will go to a fertility doctor when I can, but I’m hoping for some insight. Thanks so much to everyone.

I think anyone who has children after destroying their hormones is extremely selfish. You do realize when having a child means putting someone into this world without their permission? They have to take on your biochemistry without consent.

If you are infertile that is a clear sign NOT TO REPRODUCE.

The prerequisites for having a child should be:

-NO drugs used during pregnancy. Preferably no drugs for a long time.
-NO nutrient deficiencies
-Adequate income to support a family
-NO persistant side effects in either female or male from old prescription drugs
-NO amalgams or root canals
-NO GMO or other poisons that the baby will be getting raped with in the womb

And preferably… NO MD DIRECTED MEDICINE IF YOU WANT A HEALTHY CHILD.

I’m not on anything any longer. I made mistakes, but that means I can’t have children? I’m confused.
