She did explain though that they don't have female hormone levels and that they don't do well when given estrogen in female doses. They don't have much progesterone at all, just the small amount made by the adrenals. So no. They don't have female hormone profiles to start with. You need a lot of progesterone, made by your ovaries, to sustain a pregnancy. It's in the name of the hormone, pro-gestation.
