Steroids and ttc Posted: 08-09-07 15:24pm


Hello there Just wondering if anyone has any information for me please? My partner & i have been together coming on two years and have never used any contraception but we have never become pregnant? We both have children from our previous relationships so. He says its more than likely because he has used steroids before? Does any of you helpful people know anything about this or could you point me in the direction of some info please? Thanks very much then

I'm sorry I can't be of much help in understanding the side effect of past steroids use, but I can say that unprotected sex in itself might not be enough to get pregnant. You are only fertile for a few days a month, plus your chances of conceiving are only about 25% if you have sex during those times (and you don't drink alcohol or caffiene and you don't smoke). If you know that you've had sex during your fertile window every month for the last two years, then I suggest trying to visit an RE (fertility specialist). They can answer your question about past steroid use. It sounds possible based on what they say about the side effects of being on steroids but I don't know how long those would last once you are off steroids.
