Testosterone levels in women do not change significantly throughout the menstrual cycle, and women have significantly higher levels of testosterone than estradiol.

“if you take that estrogen level and compare it to her testosterone level on average which is testosterone varies a little bit by cycle but not enormous ly the testosterone is about ten times higher than the estrogen”

“the first is it doesn't change that much during the cycle it changes a little bit I've read a number of different studies that have looked at it most of them suggest a peak testosterone about here when you have Peak estradiol but the fluctuation is so minor that I don't think it adds any value to this secondly if I were to draw testosterone to scale on this graph you'd have to look at the ceiling that's how much more testosterone a woman has in her body than estrogen yes I just said that it sounds very counterintuitive but it's true a woman has even at Peak estradiol level which is during ovulation a woman has five to ten times more testosterone in her body than she does estradiol”

“when you convert these to the same units so you can do an Apples to Apples comparison you realize that testosterone is much higher in a woman than estrogen is let me repeat that a woman has a woman has much more testosterone in her body than she has estrogen”

“if you convert them to the same units you will see that even in a woman her testosterone is significantly higher than her progesterone and estrogen”
