I just want to make it clear that I'm not denying what you have. All of these are valid conditions/statuses. All I'm saying is that their coexistence makes perfect sense to me without there being any underlying condition. "Something is definitely up" is not necessarily true. Whilst those coincidences are worth investigating, I really wouldn't be so sure that there's a core issue linking them.

By the way, even "true" gynecomastia can be pretty normal. It appears a lot in teenage boys, especially if they are on the fat side, because their body over-converts testosterone to estradiol. It is said that in the vast majority of cases, it subsides by the end of puberty, but it is also said that it can remain that way, and not be a true indication of anything, right? In other words, in my book, it's "normal" albeit rarer.

So yeah, I just wanted to say... Don't worry. I think the most likely situation is that you have nothing of concern.

Ahh ok then that makes sense, so what about my progesterone levels, why are they so low?

I have a really good doctor, and in fact I wish I could take her with me when I move to the Bay Area  I mean she is really that good.

I trust that she will be able to tell me what everything means in detail.

Yes, I believe that would be best. My medical knowledge is limited to say it nicely.

I'd think that low progesterone for a male is no major issue since it doesn't serve any important purpose in a genetic male, hence why most doctors don't prescribe it with HRT. But maybe it does have a purpose in males and I hadn't any idea~

In genetic males if they haven't taken HRT their progesterone levels are usually low.

You are absolutely right.

Ok so what happens when a person begins hrt, then what happens to progesterone?

Eh, no idea. If you're not taking any, it shouldn't move much. Maybe go up very slightly through less competition with testosterone or something. But most likely nothing.

Some believe progesterone helps with breast development.

I found micronized progesterone to be useful.  Synthetic progesterones are much cheaper and last longer but gave me unwanted side effects.

Do you enjoy your breasts?

Would you want them to grow bigger?

Do you have small hands and feel as well? I have similar issue.

Are you sure the results say: 46 XY ? Normal male humans have a total of 46 chromosomes, 44 autosomes and 2 sexsomes. During fertilization you get 22 autosomes plus X from Mom, and 22 autosomes plus a Y from Dad for a grand total of 46 chromosomes.

If you have 46 autosomes and XY, then you my girl have 2 extra chromosomes, which could explain abnormal hormonal levels

You misinterpret what '46,XY' means. The '46' refers to the TOTAL number of chromosomes, not just the autosomes. For instance, a person with Trisomy X (three X chromosomes) has a 47,XXX chromosomal makeup.

/chromosome obsessed for some reason
