Can 1 mg propecia (finasteride) cause low sperm count cuz my semen was very thin n tested 11 million/ml. after discontinued its thick again?

Unclear: Propecia (finasteride) blocks the conversion of testosterone to its active form called dht. While testosterone and not Dht are necessary for sperm development, it still not a good idea to take it if you are trying to get your partner pregnant.
