The body can't really fight back against it if enough BO is within the body because as it produces testosterone then the aromatase converts it to estrogen leading to more feminine traits unlike PM. PM already creates an estrogen itself without REPLACING the testosterone.
Ok, that's totally interesting.. i didn't know that! could you direct me to where you got that info? I'd like to read more on it..
But, even if (with BO) the body converts androgens to estrogens, the body still might just increase its production of whatever breaks estrogen down and eliminates it, or it could cause receptor insensitivity.. right? I mean.. it seems that the whole body is dedicated to maintaining its own sense of balance.. and will make adjustments in order to keep balance as much as possible..
Yeah, developing receptor insensitivity and stalling is certainly a possibility. I think the body tends to be very adaptive. If the body thinks estrogen levels are too high, it'll try to find one way or another to curtail this. Receptor insensitivity or lowering the body's own natural production of estrogen may be ways the body tries to adapt. I wouldn't be surprised if the body has a way of limiting the output of aromatase.
