Can male hormones kill a pregnancy?

Question

Not that I would try.

Answer 1

I doubt it as a pregnancy can CAUSE male hormones. When pregnant with a boy, your body is actually slightly adversely affected by all those male hormones. This may be one of the reasons that having sons reduces a mother's lifespan (statistically proved). Having daughters lengthens the mother's lifespan, but this is probably more likely caused by the fact "daughters are daughters all their life", as the saying goes, i.e. they stick around to take care of you.

Answer 2

The answer is no. You produce testosterone in your own body, in your ovaries, and it is part of what stimulates the ovulation process. In the case of a male fetus, it is the presence of the testosterone combined with what he produces that results in a boy being born. Some studies suggest higher levels of maternal testosterone can result in a daughter with "tomboyish tendencies" later in life, but the only thing it is really strongly associated with is a slightly smaller baby at birth. I suppose if you took a high enough level of supplementary testosterone during the first trimester, it would be theoretically possible to trigger a female fetus to develop as a male- but I don't think there has ever been anyone who actually tried to find out. A lack of testosterone during first trimester development will result in a genetic male with female genitalia, though. That's why they test female athletes, because they are actually supposed to be males, and they just didn't get the dose in time to construct the plumbing all the way.

Answer 3

No they do not kill anything. Even women carry some testosterone in their bodies. Thoughts like that might idicate you need to talk to someone about, perhaps your pregnancy?

Answer 4

errrr get back to you on that one not quite sure????
