    Replacing dutasteride to father a child?

    Thanks guys, I appreciate that. I'm still interested in the 1-4 answers, as I've been thinking of coming off Dutasteride for other reasons (the prostate cancer scare, even though largely misunderstood), and the semen volume which is bound to cause some reduced fertility for someone 40+...
