If SRY exists, then the gonads develop as testes, and commence the production of androgen hormones, mainly testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and androstenedione; production of testosterone and conversion into dihydrotestosterone during weeks 6 to 12 of pregnancy are key factors in the production of a male fetus's penis, scrotum and ...

The levels of hCG in the body increase rapidly in the first few weeks of pregnancy, doubling every 48–72 hours. [7] The highest level of hCG is reached in week 10 or week 11, later the levels of hCG can be used to estimate the age of the fetus and monitor the progress of the pregnancy. [6]

In mice, prenatal testosterone transfer causes higher blood concentrations of testosterone in 2M females when compared to 1M or 0M females. [6] This has a variety of consequences on later female behavior, physiology, and morphology. Below is a table comparing physiological, morphological, and behavioral differences of 0M and 2M female mice. [1]
In many cases testosterone levels decrease when fathers have or actively care for their infants in non-humans. [49] [63] [50] [34] However, testosterone can be converted into estradiol, which supports paternal behavior. [34] [64] Testosterone is converted into estradiol through the process of aromatization.
