I'm very curious about the links to autism, would it be the passing of a specific threshold that increases the risk of the foetus developing ASD (excluding "Aspergers") or is there an already existing environment which the embryo can tolerate and an extreme shift (e.g. sudden spike to testosterone level) affect the development? I hope they force mothers to avoid taking testosterone before and after conception. We don't need more adults with physical or mental health problems.

Thanks for posting the research, even though it doesn't answer the question, it was a good exercise in reading and interpreting well conducted research.

Edit: Wording

I would think they would have to reduce the injections to allow for fertility and normal menses to take place. I would have to look into everything a little more.

Yeah, I've found a compilation of studies that include some animal studies as well, but I haven't gone through all of them yet. It's a pdf link, so warning that it'll pull an auto download.
