Brief Answer:
Sperms are likely to be normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about fertility.

The possibility of adverse effect on the sperms is not always anticipated while taking these testosterone injections.

I believe you will still have chances of conceiving and have children. Your fertility is unlikely to be affected.

I suggest get a semen analysis done which will give a clear picture about your sperms. This will put end to all your doubts.

Semen analysis is a simple test.
