Abstract:
Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals have reproductive capacity and deserve reproductive justice. Considerations related to fertility, contraception, abortion, and other reproductive health needs for cisgender populations also apply to TGD populations. Additionally, TGD individuals may have unique reproductive health care needs related to their gender identity or gender-affirming care. While some areas of reproductive health have robust evidence specific to TGD people, there remain gaps in knowledge specific to this population.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.
