macrolides lower sperm count

Me and my wife are trying to get preganant but I read on the internet that macrolides can lower your sperm count. Does anyone know about this and has anyone gotten pregnant while on this protocol. I know the infection can lower the sperm count more then the antibioticsi. but ive been on them for over a year and scared that my sperm count is highly depleted. I take a lot of supplementsi but I dont know if thats enough to make up of it. some expert advise is highly appreciated. thanks

Of course the infection

Of course the infection itself lowers sperm count. Sperm quality highly depends on the l-arginine supply which is somewhat deplated while being sick. I think it gets even worse while taking macrolides which decrease its number even more via die-off reaction.

I'm not sure whether macrolides can have that affect but something I read regarding hormones which affect male virility might be happening.  I think that could be something to look into.  If I see the link again I'll post it for you.

RRMSi/EDSSi was 4.5, 5, 6, 6.5, 6.9999, 6.5 on Wheldon/Stratton Protocol beginning 04/12/2006
naci 4x600 mg/day
doxycycline 2x100mg/day
azithromycin 3x250mg/day MWF
metronidazolei 3x400mg/day then 3x500mg/day

Of course it does. It

Of course it does. It happens indirectly via inflammatory reponse due to the toxic die-off. It is not restricted to macrolides only. It is even greater when you add pulsing devices.
