No, they will not. Steroids are responsible for the development of the secondary sexual characteristics rather than for fertility. The treatment of hypogonadism with steroids (i.e. testosterone or oestrogen replacement therapy) does not affect those areas of the testes or ovaries where the sperm cells or egg cells normally develop. Fertility treatment for sufferers of Kallmann's syndrome is a much more elegant form of therapy in that it tackles the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis directly, something which conventional hormone replacement therapy is not able to do.
