If you're taking testosterone and want to get pregnant, we need to talk.
I'm seeing more women in their thirties and forties using testosterone for low libido or perimenopausal symptoms. But here's what many don't realize: you should not be on testosterone if you're actively trying to conceive.
Testosterone can thin your uterine lining, making it harder to sustain a pregnancy. And if you do get pregnant while taking it, there's a real risk of virilizing a female fetus, especially if you don't know you're pregnant yet.
This doesn't mean testosterone is bad. It means timing matters when you're planning for a family.
If fertility is in your future, talk to your doctor about the right approach for your intimate health goals.
