Can someone please explain to me how this works?

Men produce Testosterone in the testes. And then some of it gets converted into estrogen. Whereas women produce estrogen and some of it gets converted into testosterone. If that is the case, then how does taking exogenous test get converted into estrogen in a female?

Women produce test...period.

Right, but from the conversion of estrogen to test. So if exo test is introduced into their system, how is it that the exo test causes a rise in estrogen in women? Your telling me that their bodies convert test into estrogen???? HUH??? Isn't it the other way around.

Right, but from the conversion of estrogen to test. .

Approximately 30 percent of a woman’s testosterone is produced in the ovaries; the other 70 percent is derived from the transformation of adrenal androgen precursors such as DHEA and androstenedione.

So if a woman takes test, does some it convert to estrogen? Like the same way it does for us guys?
