    Notes: Mean maternal plasma levels of testosterone, androstenedione, and 5 α-dihydro-testosterone were established from 4 to 16 weeks gestation from twice-weekly blood samples taken from 15 pregnant women. All three hormone levels were raised when compared with the non-pregnant state. There were significant differences in mean maternal plasma testosterone levels at 4 to 5 and 7 to 8 weeks gestation, when comparing women carrying male and female fetuses. Androstenedione levels in a twin pregnancy were increased throughout and testosterone levels were more than 1 SD above the mean from week 15. Steroid levels fell late in the two women who aborted. Hormone levels in three women being given progestogens were within normal limits.

    Notes: The concentration of freely extractable testosterone in amniotic fluid was measured in 54 patients whose gestational ages ranged from 10 to 20 weeks; 31 of the fetuses were male and 23 were female. The mean amniotic fluid testosterone concentration was significantly higher with a male fetus than with a female fetus. On only 7 out of 31 occasions was the presence of a male fetus associated with amniotic fluid testosterone values below 100 pg/ml, whereas the values associated with a female fetus were never higher than 90 pg/ml. After 14 weeks gestation no amniotic fluid testosterone level was lower than 120 pg/ml in the presence of a male fetus.
