I have heard (an old wives tale that could be true) that if you are carrying a boy then your skin is more prone to pimples... because of the extra testosterone circulating in your system. I've never heard of women having too much testosterone in a pregancy... but I could be wrong with that. Although PCOS sufferers often have hormonal imbalances which cause problems with pregancy... I have a slight case of PCOS but it has never inferered with fertility thankfully.... and I too am still prone to the odd zit!
