A member asked:

After taking a hormonal replacement pill like estrogen or progesterone, wii there still be a chance to father a child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why: Why would you take an estrogen or Progesterone pill? It can't help you and could cause problems. Fertility should return depending upon how much and how long you took the female hormone rx.
