By the age u wanna have kids there'll probably be something better anyway and even if that's cope, maybe by then hair won't be as important to you as it is now and therefore neither will taking finasteride

This is ridiculous to me. You are well aware of the risks of being on Finasteride, yet you're willing to sacrifice the chance to have children. You have to ask yourself: could you live with yourself if it turned out that you've become castrated? It's a very difficult thing to think about but you have to be honest with yourself, especially at that age.

I told myself very early on that I would never touch any treatment that might mess with my hormones because at the end of the day I realize that there's nothing more important to me then to have children one day and I would rather go NW7 and decrease my chance of finding a female to procreate with by 90% then to take finasteride for the rest of my life, have a full head of hair but become permanently castrated. The reason there are so many bald people is because at some point, even if they don't prefer it, women do chose to procreate with bald men. No women procreates with castrated men because castrated men cannot procreate.

I'm not really in a position to choose, without hair my life is completely ruined and I won't be able to ever have a family either way. I have to sacrifice in order to get the lesser of the two evils

It sucks *** that I have to make this "choice", but it's the price I HAVE to pay for being born the way I was

Because of Finasteride? Let's face it, Finasteride absolutely massacres your sperm. There's a reason why 100% of people on Finasteride have watery semen within the first week, now imagine being on it for years. Even if you could manage to have kids with your weak sperm there's a very high chance of them being born with birth defects or weak genes. It'd be very selfish and cruel to procreate while taking Finasteride

I've always wanted to be a father and have kids of my own someday. I don't want to grow up and die alone as a miserable old man. Having kids gives your life purpose and goals to work toward. But I absolutely can't NOT take Finasteride because going bald is going to literally destroy my life. It's a life or death situation for me, it's simply not an option to go bald

I wish I wasn't such a balding piece of sh*t so that I could have a normal life without having to sacrifice my health, manhood and dreams in return
You can stop temporarily like many people and celebrities do to have children, or you can just buzz your head and not worry about it children are more important and they never care about the way you look, lol

You can start by getting in a better head state and stop this hysteria. Stop imagining things and come back to reality.


There's no proof that finasteride will make you have no children. It's bollocks.

Ashton Kutcher is the biggest example, he was on dutasteride for a decade. Got off it and he has several kids now. There are countless other people, he's just the only example that comes to mind.

It is idiotic to think a drug that blocks some percentage of an enzyme will make you infertile. Especially when you consider that there are naturally many things in nature that we consume on regular basis that are DHT inhibitors.

PS: It seems like a troll post but I am still going to reply proper in case your fearmongering scares other people.

Bruh you can literally stop fina for a month to conceive then hop back on it.
Takes like 6 months before Finasteride is out of your system and everything is fine -, assuming your recover properly. And that time is enough to lose most of my hair

Wow, Kevin mann is right. There's really a bunch of sad losers who want to blame all their problems (real and imaginary) on finasteride and just find something to blame. I thought he was just exaggerating but I believe I have met that group. Because I and others who don't share your same hysteria, we are coping?

If you can't conceive, maybe you were infertile to begin with. I know plenty of people who can't have kids either the wife is barren or the man is impotent/infertile. Maybe you're impotent/infertile to begin with and finasteride just conveniently came into your life for you to blame. Infertility is pretty common, maybe you're that unfortunate victim.

There's no scientific basis for your phobias, as much as you finasteride haters wish for it to be true, it has no basis in reality. Even caffeine has alpha reductase blocking activity, if we believe your phobias then caffine must have made the whole world to be impotent lol

What a sad thread.

Why are you taking it then? What's the point of your hair if you think you can't have children or it's a tranny drug and your dick doesn't work anymore? Who are you saving the hair for?

You don't believe it either so why are you spreading this nonsense that might scare potential new users

Because in both cases I'm dead meat dude. I understand that not everyone gets side effects, but I do. As a bald guy, I will never be able to have a family or get women anyway, and I won't be able to do it as an impotent guy either

If I'm fucked either way, then f*** it why not have hair? Looks are so much more than just attracting women and I don't want to get ostracized by society after going bald

Reduce the dosage. See if that helps.

Sex/Reproductive system is like 99% psychological so if you're stressed out or imagining something then that will happen. Maybe you're having nocebo effects.

But it's not so doom and gloom like you're thinking it to be. Man, I f*****g got the hottest girl in my class in university just based on confidence alone few years ago and I was clearly thinning with a bald spot near my crown. I was oblivious to how bad my hair loss was so I managed to pull it off. But now I can't do that because my confidence isn't just in that place anymore due to all the hair that fell.

A lot of what happens to you is what you believe

You sound like an old dude, so maybe it was different back then. But nowadays it's a death sentence, especially if you don't carry the look well like me

Even if you don't want to stop finasteride, there are many approaches to increase your fertility levels, like clomiphen . I was using dutasteride when we got pregnant four our first son . It took a while, I was using clomiphen , anastrozol , etc . Dutasteride is not a " male birth control pill " . although, your chances decrease considerably .
"Even if you could manage to have kids with your weak sperm there's a very high chance of them being born with birth defects or weak genes"
That is simple ignorance, there is not such a thing like " weak sperm " creating " weak childs " . that is simple ignorance, the prove is, the way you reason. Unless your father used finasteride when he had you ;)
