just saw my endo, now I have a question

[nanaki-muyo.livejournal.com]

I had an appointment with my endo today. I was planning on talking to him about putting me on spiro. When I brought it up he said that I didn't need it because my free testosterone levels are in the normal female range. Now, my question is this: What gives? If estrogen on its own can drop your testosterone levels to the normal female range, why do you need spiro?

He showed me my last lab results and that the normal male level of free testosterone ranges from something like 30-40 and my levels were 1.8 (I didn't get a good look at the units).
