Hi,
    The testosterone is mainly produced in the testes, so, if there is any functional problem with the testes, they will not be able to produce the hormone. Also, the LH hormone produced by the pituitary is the trigger for testes to produce testosterone, so if the brain does not produce enough LH, then also an otherwise  functional testes will not produce enough hormone. Higher amounts of estrogen will also compete for testosterone receptors in the brain, so that the LH produced by the brain will reduce, which in turn lowers the production of testosterone.  
How old are you? When you say the hormone is not produced in your body, what was the measured level of total testo in your case?
