yes, you have to stop it completely and it’s a medication that’s fine to stop cold turkey. if you’re interested in learning more, queer conception by liam kali (book) and r/queerception (reddit community) are good places to start.

I got pregnant when I had just started T and had to stop cold turkey. r/seahorse_dads is also a nice subreddit.

it is possible to get pregnant while on t (testosterone isn’t birth control!) and *some* people still ovulate even if they don’t have a period, but exposure to high t levels/continuing to stay on t while pregnant can cause issues with fetal development, birth defects, and/or miscarriage.
