Brief Answer:
What was the cause of teh low sperm count?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

1. Low sperm count is amenable to clomid and anastrazole if low hormone levels were the cause of your symptoms. In this case, stopping clomid and anastrazole will take you to the initial state with ensuing low sperm count.

2. There are no immediate or long term side effects when these drugs as stopped. However, you wouldn't have the benefits of the corrected low level of hormones that this drug afforded you.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to keep the exchanges going.

Hi,

Long term use of clomid might cause visual difficulties and increased levels of blood lipids(Triglycerides).

For Anastrazole, there are no documented long term effects.

I hope this addresses your worries. I wish you well and always available for further exchanges.
