Good advice from APsnotFab above. As for me, there are very few studies I can find that are relevant to your question. The ones I have found are inconclusive.

GOOD NEWS for you I hope because I eventually found this by Dr Robert Lahita that I hope is relevant and answers your question:

"I do not know where you get your information about damaged sperm. Sperm in lupus males is normal. In some rare cases we have found a condition where there is no sperm, but most of the men that I see are fathers of multiple normal children. You are correct in saying that chemotherapy can often lessen the sperm numbers and kill off some sperm, but that does not cause problems for any offspring that you might father. Since lupus is not classically genetic you might have ten children who would never get the disease. There is no guarantee that your future daughters or sons would get lupus."

I hope this helps you! All the best to you, John
