Will steroid make sperm a weak swimmer?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend who is on steroids. I read that steroids will make sperm weak swimmers. Is that true? Also, after the unprotected sex I took Plan B One-Step immediately. What is the possibility of getting pregnant? What are the early symptoms of pregnancy? And when do they start?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. We are here to help you. Steroids do not make sperm weak. This is always a debatable issue. However, never been proved. If you have taken Plan B (emergency contraceptive pill) within 12 hours of intercourse the chance of getting pregnant is almost nil. However, no method of contraception gives you 100% guarantee. Early symptoms of pregnancy are nausea, vomiting and missing periods. You should remember that after taking Plan B, your periods might be irregular for a few cycles.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
