This was copied from my program thread:

Only my testosterone was actually outside the normal range, but my other 2 primary sex hormones were borderline. According to ZRT's standards, I'm deficient in testosterone while my progesterone is borderline low and my estrogen is borderline high. My ratio of P to E is very low which means I'm technically estrogen dominant, but without estrogen excess. Here are my actual numbers:

Estradiol 3.3 pg/ml (Above 3.3 is excessive)
Progesterone 76 pg/ml (Below 75 is deficient)
Testosterone 12 ng/dl (Below 20 is deficient)
Pg/E2 ratio is 23 (Below 100 is considered imbalanced)

What do you think is the root cause? How is it possible to have high estrogen and low T at the same time? Is it possible that my body is aromatizing testosterone more than it should, or is there a better explanation? If there's excessive aromatization going on, why is it happening? I would love to hear any other opinions, because I've hit a dead end researching this.

Look into your adrenals. They produce progesterone and testosterone and many other hormones. If they are weak producing inadequate amounts of cortisol, you will have low test, and progesterone for sure unless you are some weird, rare exception. If the output of cortisol is normal, then look to your ovaries. I think you may have aromatization going on here as well.

You can order their cortisol tests (all 4) to find out or do a blood spot with your doc.
