For what reason has he been taking these shots. Steroid shots have not been directly implicated in lowering sperm count unless he was taking high dose for a long time. He may need to stop it for a few months for regaining normal body function. Nothing can be said about the chances of conception unless his semen analysis and hormone levels are assessed.
