Fertility in males on hormones?
Hey there,
My male-bodied partner is trans and has been taking estrogen for about 5 years. When we do have sex we always use condoms, but I don't want to take birth control if I don't have to, and I'm wondering if should or not, as yesterday we were talking to a friend who was worried his partner was pregnant but it turned out she wasn't, and asked us if we had the same problem of fertility or not because of the hormones. My partner said no, and a while ago I was reading a comic about related things which also brought up the issue and said that males become infertile after using hormones for a while... I know neither of these are absolutely solid, so I'm wondering what you guys think!

Ask your partner again, and ask for a more detailed answer. If they don't know or are simply making an educated guess, ask them to ask their doctor.
You are delving into details of biology that likely few people here really understand. For instance: I know that estrogen injections are sometimes used to treat male infertility! Estrogen actually plays a part in normal fertility in men... So who knows!?
Well... a doctor who specializes in treating trans patients I imagine.
