1. Gonads cannot make estrogen, so the breasts will not develop and the uterus will not grow and menstruate until estrogen is administered. This is often given through the skin now.
2. Gonads cannot make progesterone, so menstrual periods will not be predictable until progestin is administered, still usually as a pill.
3. Gonads cannot produce eggs so conceiving children naturally is not possible. A woman with a uterus but no ovaries may be able to become pregnant by implantation of another woman’s fertilized egg (embryo transfer).
