A member asked:
Can a mother with enough high testosterone during pregnancy make an xxy or xx(with sry gen) a male who will become fertile after puberty?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: Testosterone will only virilize a fetus (and the mother). Genetics determine fertility in terms of the karyotypes mentioned. Both of these karyotypes (+sry) typically produce males with normal appearing genitalia.

Please clarify: What is the question? Testosterone levels in a pregnant female have no impact on the chromosomal makeup of a fetus - that is determined at time of fertilization. Hope this answered your question.

No: These are chromosome issues and have nothing to do with the mother's hormone levels.
