Same with steroids in men - they raise testosterone but ruin sperm count and guys who are chronic juicers have more daughers.
ETA - almost forgot to add that there is an unscrupulous company out there that will test your T levels and tell you that you can or can't have a baby girl and no one should go to these people. They have told people, based on nothing other than 2 readings on testosterone level taken 6 months apart, they have no chance at conceiving a child of a certain gender and if they did, that baby would either die or be homosexual.
