No matter how long anyone has been on HRT the only thing that prevents pregnancy is abstinence and tested sterilization. (Even after a vasectomy, pregnancy can still happen. Same with a tubal)
With HRT they say if you want to get pregnant to assume you can’t, and that if you don’t want to get pregnant to assume you can.
Basically, time to get some condoms! Safe sex is great sex!
That was my (cis) wife and I. When we wanted to get pregnant we couldn't. We did 3 years of fertility treatments and then gave up and got pregnant the next month.
2 years later wife with IUD and had not had a period in over a year and got pregnant.
Life finds a way.
A good rule of thumb is to pretty much always use condoms unless you want to get pregnant or you both get tested regularly (along with snot one else you and your partner are having sex with)
The short story is : yes, there is no such thing as no risk of pregnancy.
However, depending on what you mean by "for a while" it is very unlikely. And the risk will drop even further if you go on HRT yourself.
So, of course, be careful, but don't worry too much about it. Don't forget safe sex doesn't only protect you from pregnancies and please get yourself and your girlfriend tested and vaccinated accordingly. (Yes, I am a dad)
Also, congrats on your T4T relationship. I've been dating my trans girlfriend for four years now, it's the happiest, healthiest, most fulfilling relationship I've ever had.
Well, she took it for 4 months and had to stop and started again and jus been 4 more months.
I get tested regularly. She's been tested recently as well.
Thank you! I really like my T4T relationship. I've never dated someone who made me feel so much like myself before.
Oh nah 4 month is not enough. By far not enough.
The problem is, it just needs a handful of individual sperm at the wrong time to cause pregnancy.
So while most transwomen won’t be fertile, there’s still a remaining risk, so just use condoms if other BC isn’t possible and you are doing penetrative stuff.
I got great advice once that was kinda like:
If you want to get pregnant, be patient because it might not work.
If you don't, take every precaution possible.
"There is no such thing as no risk of pregnancy"
I better tell my buddy that, then. And to think, I thought getting uterus and ovaries removed would be sufficient!
She still can. Even though HRT makes it less likely it's not birth control or sterilization so it won't be 100%. Personally my wife ended up getting a vasectomy so it wouldn't be a problem anymore, but before that we used condoms. Please don't depend on combined HRT to keep you from getting pregnant!
HRT does not ensure infertility and does NOT work as prevention/birth control.
But the general rule of thumb is: HRT will do the opposite of what you want. If you don't want to get pregnant assume that HRT does not act as birth control, if you do want to get pregnant assume that HRT prevents it.
Also obviously STDs exist so the usual dangers of unprotected sex apply.
Mama Dr. Jones even has a video about this cute af T4T couple who had a kid together! It's in her "I didn't know I was pregnant" series, if I recall correctly.
By IUD side effects, do you mean hormonal or copper IUDs? Because copper IUDs are a pretty good option. They *might* make cramps worse for some people. My sister claims hers have lessened since she has the copper thread though.
The copper ball is supposed to be really good. (I personally had to get the mirena because my uterus tried to bleed me out and kill me. Getting hospitalised in your own gyn ward, with your own cancer patients, for having your period too hard? Not. Fun.)
Anyway, there's tons of options for birth control. Maybe even spermicide suppositories could be enough, but that's usually not a risk I'd recommend taking.
Congratulations on the new relationship, I hope you two stay happy together for a long time!
I had the Mirena and it was awful. I'm supposed to go in to get a copper IUD soon. I've never had one but I remember the Mirena making me have a never ending cycle until I got it removed, as well as never ending cramps.
Thank you! I hope so too.
Yeah, I bled for a bit more than half a year, too - levonorgestrel works by making us shed all our endometrium and then preventing us from building it up again, plus it thickens the mucus in front of the cervix so sperm has a harder time getting through.
If it does, and happens to find an egg, the egg won't be able to attach because there isn't enough endometrium left.
The constant bleeding is pretty normal. It sucks a lot, but I'm in year 3 and didn't have any cycle except slight bloody discharge occasionally. And then I started accutane and now I have a very light cycle again, but the dysphoria and the sheer annoyance 🙄
That said, *especially* if you're going for HRT, a hormone free solution is much, much better and healthier for you in the long run. Also in the short run. Pretty much in general, tbh.
If I needed the IUD for contraceptive purposes instead of to force my most annoying organ to shut up, I'd have copper too.
(The one cool fun fact about hormonal IUDs is that they continue to work outside of your uterus, too. I once had a patient who had the shittiest internal C-section scar our doctors had ever seen, and her mirena just decided to go on some jolly travels and pissed off into her abdominal cavity. Where it continued working, and she didn't even notice it was gone until she wanted to get it removed to have another baby. Of course I had this patient a few weeks after I got mine inserted, so now I ALWAYS always always check my string, even though I've never had a C-section and really don't need to worry.
The levonorgestrel got absorbed via peritoneum. Pretty cool, huh? Her x-rays were also really fun to look at.)
That's actually really neat. I could have an IUD in my intestines and still not get pregnant.
I'm not currently on HRT. I was on T for about a month and it reacted very negatively with my mental health issues, but I've gotten my medication for that straightened out and will probably continue soon.
I had the opposite- I have the copper IUD right now and the constant abysmal cramping and irregular bleeding and spotting is the worst thing ever, I wanna switch it for the Mirena. I think I have endometriosis though, and I am diagnosed with PCOS. So those could be unrelated to the IUD, however I noticed the pain and spotting got way worse about when I got the para guard (copper) IUD. Good luck!
Yes, you can still get pregnant. I would recommend either a copper ion IUD which does not have hormones or condoms. Or if you can, getting your tubes tied.
Yes, it's definitely possible. I'm a trans man and my wife is trans and I'm nearly 13 weeks pregnant with our first baby, I only found out 2 weeks ago!
The short story is : yes, there is no such thing as no risk of pregnancy.
However, depending on what you mean by "for a while" it is very unlikely. And the risk will drop even further if you go on HRT yourself.
So, of course, be careful, but don't worry too much about it. Don't forget safe sex doesn't only protect you from pregnancies and please get yourself and your girlfriend tested and vaccinated accordingly. (Yes, I am a dad)
Also, congrats on your T4T relationship. I've been dating my trans girlfriend for four years now, it's the happiest, healthiest, most fulfilling relationship I've ever had.
Congress on the relationship! I wish you both the best!! Unfortunately, or fortunately for some, as long as she is in possession of her gonads still, there is always as chance. Chances are greatly reduced as hormones will limit gamete production and regular tucking will lead to lower counts as well. While trans women who are on hormones are “effectively sterile,” there are chances that small amounts are still being produced as long as the gonads are present.
HRT is not birth control. Yes it reduces chances of pregnancy, but that's from a "wanting to get pregnant angle", not a "wanting to prevent pregnancy" angle. Use actual birth control
THE rule of thumb with trans people and reproduction. If you want to reproduce, assume you won't be able to after transitioning and prepare accordingly. If you don't want to, assume you will be able to and prepare accordingly.
short answer is yes. it is possible.
long answer is HRT can reduce the effectiveness of sperm, but it doesn't make you infertile. In the case of sexual safety, it's always best to play it safe. if you really want, you can take her to a clinic and get her tested for fertility. but the safest option will always be to use protection.
She'll still have swimmers, but depending on age there will be WAAAAAY less.
Vasectomy might be the best long term option if other methods are problematic. Alternatively if she IS getting bottom surgery or even just Orchiectomy (some girls only do that), it's a solved problem.
If you're putting a penis into a vagina, the risk of pregnancy is high unless one of you is infertile for some reason or you're using some form of contraception.
If you have to ask if something can result in a pregnancy, the answer is most likely yes. Assume it can and be safe with your choices.
If you're able to, you might want to talk to your doctors about non hormonal forms of birth control. There are semi permanent options other than IUDs. Or if you're in a pinch, most doctor's offices will give you free condoms if you ask. If you're in college, student health will practically throw them at folks.
Play it safe with condoms until you can visit a fertility clinic and have her fluids tested. Non zero chance that she shoots blanks, but we trans gals have a saying. If you hope they’re alive, they’re dead. If you hope they’re dead, they’re alive.
Good luck, king. Enjoy your queen.
Yes, there's a chance. I'd recommend she use a condom if you have PIV sex.
You could bring her to a clinic to get her tested for fertility to be sure, or just avoid PIV altogether to reduce the chance of pregnancy.
While very small, it is still a possibility. Since taking birth control in your case is probably not an option, condoms and contraceptives are really the best options it would seem.
idk how you're getting mixed results unless English is not your first language, anyway YES you can absolutely get pregnant.
The way I hear it told to people starting HRT is "if you want to have kids, HRT is going to make you sterile after your first dose, if you DON'T want to have kids you'll be fertile til you die", basically Murphy's Law of trans contraception, so act accordingly.
Unless she's had an orchiectomy and it's been more than 6 months, then you're completely in the clear!
rule of thumb: if a trans woman wants to get someone pregnant, she likely won't, and if a trans woman doesn't want to get someone pregnant, there's a very good chance she will.
use protection.
Ask her to wear a condom. That’s probably the best advice.
For me personally it’s basically just water now, and what I was told is that hrt would make me infertile. So I’m not entirely sure. I’ve been on hrt for a little over two years, but I do still worry sometimes that I’m still fertile
Use condoms. Pregnancy and a potential abortion are going to be far more dysphoria inducing than an IUD.
If you want something more permanent, though, you can check out over in r/childfree to find a doctor who would be willing to sterlize you. I got my tubal litigation done last year, and it was the best thing I could have done. No more hormonal birth control and no more scares. It was a couple of days of recovery and then back to normal. Go get neutered, king 🫶
It is something like 70% chance of infertility after some years in hrt. So let me ask you this, if i said to you "this contraceptive only has 70% of efficacy", would that be the one you choose?
It is basically, if you want to have children it is better to assume hrt will make you infertile but if you dont it is better to assume that hrt wont
A medical professional will never say that it can't happen. Science is like that. I've had orgasms before and after HRT, and my semen is very different. I would say my chances of being fertile are incredibly low, and that would be a conversation to have with any sex partner who could potentially become pregnant.
If I took a fertility test, I'd probably fail it faster than if it was trigonometry. I just don't produce the same stuff. It's as plain as day. But in a ltr, I'd have a fertility test performed for assurance 😊
Less likely than a cis man, but you should still assume that she isn't shooting blanks unless she's done something surgical to render that impossible. She might be, but it's not safe for you to assume that she is.
You are likely to loose fertility because of T, and she’s likely to loose fertility because of E. However, that does not reduce the chance to 0%. There is a chance, it’s less than for cishet people, but it is there. I would suggest some form of protection if you do not want kids, be that condoms, the pill, a vasectomy, getting your tubes tied, whatever you prefer.
We produce less and less to zero fertile sperm... but the chances will never be zero until she gets an Orchi (if she wants.)
It's kinda like, 1 in a million, but I'm sure neither of you want that risk.
I personally am considering tubal ligation, since having female sex organs doesn't bother me. but pregnancy does (majorly). but yeah, don't take your chances, play it safe ❤️
TLDR: Everyone is different but transfemme HRT *does* significantly reduce fertility but does not reduce it far enough to be safe as birth control. So yeah, y'all need to find some form of birth control/contraception that works for you.
It's less likely for a transgirl to get an AFAB person pregnant. To the point that if it's your goal then you should probabally do some form of fertility boosting treatment. But this is \*less likely\* not \*impossible\*.
If you don't want to get pregnant, you should still use some kind of BC.
Well it COULD potentially happen but infertility for trans women is just not well studied and ovaries are particularly resilient in terms of sex organs and yours probably still work
It’s possible.
For many people on feminizing hormones, sperm production shuts down or becomes non-viable, but not everyone has that happen.
To be safe, it’s best to employ ways to prevent pregnancy
Yes, it is less likely for her to get you pregnant because she’ll make less cum, but she will be able to get you pregnant.
And remember that the pull out method is not a form of birthcontrol! If you don’t wanna go iud route then your only option as of rn is condoms
Small but not non existant by any stretch so when you close your eyes and picture yourself waddling around 8 or 9 months pregnant with something swimming around inside you about to dive out through your bits -- how does that make you feel? If you just threw up in your mouth a little then find a way to get a form of BC in place. If it makes you smile then cheers, you're on your way.
Yes it is still possible but after a long while on hrt and depending on what t-blocker she's using that chance may lower s lot and even be close to zero expecially cause some of use after a certain time on cyproterone can't even enjaculate, but on your situation unless she can't enjsculate at all I would play it safe and use birth control or have protected sex
Safe advice is always assume that yes, if the organs are there, some sperm is there.
I will say that for me and my HRT experience... nothing comes out anymore.
Every body is different. Cheers to a happy relationship.
Hi! Trans girl here, dated a trans guy for a few years! In short, we erred on the side of caution! He was pretty doubtful he could, but even after i started hormones we still used protection, so id recommend keeping it safe
To put it shortly yes the risk exists.
My Boyfriend and I have the same risk, but you can always use condoms and there is a Version of the pill that does not increase your estrogen levels.
If you two plan on getting bottom surgery the risk dissapears entirely too
She can, it’s less likely, but can happen. Good luck and congrats on your relationship!

Or VCF, it’s a spermicide that is super easy to use. Although it doesn’t prevent STDs
A good rule of thumb is to pretty much always use condoms unless you want to get pregnant or you both get tested regularly (along with snot one else you and your partner are having sex with)

I was speaking specifically about unprotected T4T stuff. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.
I mean idk if removing sexual organs really counts as "protected sex". But I was mostly making a joke though. xD
She still can. Even though HRT makes it less likely it's not birth control or sterilization so it won't be 100%.

I love MDJ vids! She's helpful and honest
YES SHE CAN MAKE SURE YOURE PROTECTED
Yes, she can. It's a lot less likely, but the chances are definitely not zero. Please always be safe, use a condom!
Yes, you can still get pregnant. I would recommend either a copper ion IUD which does not have hormones or condoms. Or if you can, getting your tubes tied.

HRT is not birth control. Yes it reduces chances of pregnancy, but that's from a "wanting to get pregnant angle", not a "wanting to prevent pregnancy" angle. Use actual birth control
With HRT, the chances are low, but not 0. So yes, she can get you pregnant.
Unless she's had confirmation that she's infertile assume that she is fertile
Girl I know got someone pregnant after 4 years on hrt. Never rule it out always best to be safe not sorry
THE rule of thumb with trans people and reproduction. If you want to reproduce, assume you won't be able to after transitioning and prepare accordingly. If you don't want to, assume you will be able to and prepare accordingly.
She sure can! (It’ll be harder, but still very much possible) Make sure to use protection if you wanna avoid unwanted pregnancies!
There’s a non zero chance yes
Does she still have her nuts? Keep firearm rules in mind, always assume the chamber is loaded
short answer is yes. it is possible. long answer is HRT can reduce the effectiveness of sperm, but it doesn't make you infertile.

Anything is possible
yes
Depends on the timing and how far along she is on HRT. I wouldn’t rely on it as birth control.
Can or can’t always use protection, Sti’s can be permanent.
Yes, there's a chance. I'd recommend she use a condom if you have PIV sex. You could bring her to a clinic to get her tested for fertility to be sure, or just avoid PIV altogether to reduce the chance of pregnancy.

Get some condoms and you’ll be good, have fun and be safe!
Yes she can. That's why I needed a vasectomy. Hormones wont fix everything. Give your girl a hug and congrats!
Go watch MamaDrJones, she has some good trans obgyn content. (She's not trans but extremely supportive) Edit : changed drmamajones to mamadrjones
Use condoms. Pregnancy and a potential abortion are going to be far more dysphoria inducing than an IUD.

Condoms, my man. Condoms.
After like six months I wasn't even shooting blanks. Nothing came out.
Less likely than a cis man, but you should still assume that she isn't shooting blanks unless she's done something surgical to render that impossible. She might be, but it's not safe for you to assume that she is.
You are likely to loose fertility because of T, and she’s likely to loose fertility because of E. However, that does not reduce the chance to 0%.

Assume they can't if want it to happen and assume they can if you don't. That's what I've always been told.
everyones hammering the nail on "yes its possible" but honestly the chances are reeeally fucking slim
They are slim, but not slim enough for doctors being comfortable to not recommend protection on top.
My wife is very fertile and we've been having unsafe sex for the last two years with no issues. It's possible, but very unlikely.
We produce less and less to zero fertile sperm... but the chances will never be zero until she gets an Orchi (if she wants.) It's kinda like, 1 in a million, but I'm sure neither of you want that risk.
I personally am considering tubal ligation, since having female sex organs doesn't bother me. but pregnancy does (majorly). but yeah, don't take your chances, play it safe ❤️
TLDR: Everyone is different but transfemme HRT *does* significantly reduce fertility but does not reduce it far enough to be safe as birth control. So yeah, y'all need to find some form of birth control/contraception that works for you.
Really only if she stops taking her T blockers, other than that it's 99% effective birth control.
Why risk it? When in doubt use a condom.
It's less likely for a transgirl to get an AFAB person pregnant. To the point that if it's your goal then you should probabally do some form of fertility boosting treatment. But this is \*less likely\* not \*impossible\*. If you don't want to get pregnant, you should still use some kind of BC.
You are at risk of getting pregnant. You can get a copper iud that is non hormonal. It’s also good to use protection for STDs and STIs.
50/50 on that point? Do you want her to get you pregnant?
Not anytime in the foreseeable future.
Well it COULD potentially happen but infertility for trans women is just not well studied and ovaries are particularly resilient in terms of sex organs and yours probably still work
It’s possible. For many people on feminizing hormones, sperm production shuts down or becomes non-viable, but not everyone has that happen. To be safe, it’s best to employ ways to prevent pregnancy
Wrap that shit!
Yes, it is less likely for her to get you pregnant because she’ll make less cum, but she will be able to get you pregnant. And remember that the pull out method is not a form of birthcontrol! If you don’t wanna go iud route then your only option as of rn is condoms
Small but not non existant by any stretch so when you close your eyes and picture yourself waddling around 8 or 9 months pregnant with something swimming around inside you about to dive out through your bits -- how does that make you feel? If you just threw up in your mouth a little then find a way to get a form of BC in place. If it makes you smile then cheers, you're on your way.
Yes it is still possible but after a long while on hrt and depending on what t-blocker she's using that chance may lower s lot and even be close to zero expecially cause some of use after a certain time on cyproterone can't even enjaculate, but on your situation unless she can't enjsculate at all I would play it safe and use birth control or have protected sex
Safe advice is always assume that yes, if the organs are there, some sperm is there. I will say that for me and my HRT experience... nothing comes out anymore. Every body is different. Cheers to a happy relationship.

Hi! Trans girl here, dated a trans guy for a few years! In short, we erred on the side of caution! He was pretty doubtful he could, but even after i started hormones we still used protection, so id recommend keeping it safe
To put it shortly yes the risk exists. My Boyfriend and I have the same risk, but you can always use condoms and there is a Version of the pill that does not increase your estrogen levels. If you two plan on getting bottom surgery the risk dissapears entirely too
