Additionally, trans men are likely to live in poverty and have inadequate access to healthcare, so many do not have access to the [[contraceptives]] they may want or need. Trans men can use barrier methods, oral contraceptives, IUDs, and other methods of contraception while taking testosterone.<ref name="camj">{{cite journal |last1=Thornton |first1=Kimberly G.S. |last2=Mattatall |first2=Fiona |title=Pregnancy in Transgender Men |journal=Canadian Medical Association Journal |date=August 23, 2021 |volume=193 |issue=33 |page=E1303 |doi=10.1503/cmaj.210013|pmid=34426447 |pmc=8412429 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

Testosterone use is contraindicated while attempting to conceive, while pregnant, and while breastfeeding, because high levels of testosterone during pregnancy can cause [[fetal abnormalities]], specifically with the [[urogenital system]] of a female fetus.<ref name="camj"/>

Trans men experience issues during pregnancy not experienced by pregnant women. For example, trans men may experience discrimination on the base of their gender while receiving obstetric care. Many providers are unfamiliar with the needs of transgender patients. Additionally, some men report that being pregnant made their [[gender dysphoria]] worse.<ref name="acog">{{cite journal |last1=Light |first1=Alexis D. |last2=Obedin-Maliver |first2=Juno |last3=Sevelius |first3=Jae M. |last4=Kerns |first4=Jennifer L. |title=Transgender Men Who Experienced Pregnancy After Female-to-Male Gender Transitioning |journal=American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists |date=2014 |volume=124 |issue=6 |pages=1120–1127 |doi=10.1097/AOG.0000000000000540|pmid=25415163 |s2cid=36023275 |url=https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3dz427qw }}</ref>
