Presumably when you filled in the form you ticked male? If so then it could just be a simple error on their part but I would contact them to point out this error and ask if it does, in fact, make any difference.

If it doesn't then you can see that your results are rather poor with 3 below range results and 1 barely in range. At least your DHEA result is within range.

These are optimal results according to web.archive.org/web/2018083...

• Morning at the top of the range

• Noon approximately 75% of the range

• Evening close to 50% of the range

• Nighttime at the bottom of the range

Have a read through the other examples in that link, in particular examples 3 and 5 and see which you think is most appropriate. Whichever it is, I think you may need to seek out professional help, I'm not sure this is a DIY fix.
