Re: PCOS--too much estrogen or too much testosterone?

Reply: Kristy: "Re: PCOS--too much estrogen or too much testosterone?" Well I know for sure that the majority of us have too much testosterone. I don't know about the estrogen... I thought estrogen levels tended to be normal with PCOS but our problem is that the estrogen is unopposed due to our having low progesterone? Then again women who are fat tend to have high estrogen (I think) so you might well see high estrogen in women with PCOS since we tend to be on the large side. I am pretty sure my estrogen levels are "normal" but my testosterone is... well, it's really high. It was in the low 90s last I had it checked. Will have it checked next week for the first time in a year and a half... I hope it's lower than that!!!! I'd be happy with the 60s, even... - jodi At Wed, 12 Jun 2002, Tangelo wrote: > >Great question! I'm confused as well! :) > >At Wed, 12 Jun 2002, Linda wrote: >> >>Can someone clarify for me?
