Not quite... Necessarily. What I really think is that you're probably low progesterone and maybe high testosterone and with normal to high estrogen.
Only mildly, mind you, not anything a doctor is going to warn you about having any health implications cuz there just aren't any for the very slight difference I'm talking about... But even the slightest imbalance can greatly impact the way our bodies develop.
EDIT: And agreed with timarie. Again. LOL. Those online tests are pretty terrible. Took one for body type and shape that asked all kinds of questions that had nothing to do with either a while ago as well for giggles... No matter how I fudged my answers it ALWAYS kept saying the WRONG THING, and the EXACT SAME THING too mind!
Now the hormone balance questionaires aren't THAT awful, but they're still extremely subjective and inaccurate. And since I'm talking about an extremely tiny imbalance it really wouldn't be able to tell.
