Hahaha ,, Nice question .. let me try to answer .. Well embarazado can be two things 1st : It can be an adjective. 2nd : It can be a past participle of the verb embarrazar (to make a women pregnant).
Now as an adjective you can only use it's feminine version embarazada (unless you may be using it figuratively to mean perplexed or confused etc.) because we men have not until now been endowed with the blessing of getting pregnant so in a literal sense the adjective can only be used with the women to indicate that the woman is in the blessed state of pregnancy. But you may use the masculine version to indicate a figurative meaning .. like Estoy rodeado con muchos problemas y estoy embarazdo a causa de mi vida tanta ocupada. (I am surrounded by too many problems and am PERPLXED due to my extremely busy life).
And as a verbal participle it can be used in any verbal construction involving this verb.
Example .. a wife telling her husband with a smile : me has embarazado mi amor, ya estoy embarazada dos meses
(hehe ,, the example sounds funny and no wife may give the good news to her husband like this but I just wanted to clarify both the uses for u). Hope you understand now.
It does, but I don't think you would want to use the masculine form.
