The balance between testosterone and estrogen in the female body is a delicate one. If your testosterone is high relative to your estrogen level, you may find it more difficult to become pregnant. This high testosterone can also cause blood sugars to go higher than normal. Your doctor can prescribe treatment for this problem.
