Ever since he's been on them I've been constantly worried about his health and our future.

 Steroids and Fertility
Anabolic steroids are derived from the male hormone, testosterone. As a result, use of steroids can have a dramatic affect on both the male and female reproductive system, permanently affecting fertility. In men, steroid use can lead to:
* decreased sperm production
* increased numbers of abnormal sperm
* erectile dysfunction
* atrophy of the testicles
Steroids can also negatively affect female fertility, inhibiting the release of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones needed for ovulation, disrupting menstruation, and causing the appearance of masculine traits.

Best thing I can suggest if you are concerned is that he goes and gets himself checked out for any effects left behind by the drugs :)
