I've got my results in for my levels taken 2 hours before my next dose. I did apply for the "female" blood test (as shown), but for some reason it's giving the advice in relation to my "birth sex" which is obviously a bad idea. Anyway ignoring all the red I'm pretty sure these levels are what I was aiming for. For context I am on Estradiol Enanthate, and take it weekly, so the peak-trough difference should be fairly low.

  • E2: 1479pmol/L | 402.85pg/mL (Decent but higher than expected)
  • FSH: <0.30U/L (Understandably low)
  • LH: 1U/L (Understandably low)
  • Free Androgen Index: 3.78 (?)
  • Progesterone: 0.79nmol/L | 0.25ng/mL (Expected)
  • Prolactin: 311mIU/L (Seems fine)
  • SHBG: 41nmol/L (Seems fine)
  • T: 1.55nmol/L | 44.71ng/dL (Good, though higher than expected)

I think these are all good but I thought I'd post them here too just in case I'm missing something or interpreting them incorrectly.

Thanks, as DaPorkchop_ said I'm still likely adjusting and my T levels could drop further.

I probably could just order them myself

If it helps I have mine taken by Randox, though I think they only have locations in the UK.

like most of us who has had to become a near expert in gender specific endocrinology just to get what we need, LOL

Tell me about it lol, my parents really don't trust me on this either, they're very sympathetic to systemic harm. I have been encouraged to ask a professional but I'm almost entirely sure they'd tell me to get off HRT so I don't see the point, and I'd rather not have my parents just take their word for it.
