Very strange baseline values

I had a baseline test to measure my natural hormone levels a few days ago. Yesterday I received the results. I have quite strange baseline levels which my GP also recognised.

I have a value of only 107 ng/dl testosterone and a value of 103 pg/ml estradiol.

I have never used hormones.

My GP was surprised and said that my hormone levels are that of a bodybuilding cis female.

I have gynaecomastia since age 15, quite large hips for someone who is amab, soft facial features and very low amounts of body hair.

My GP wants to have me tested for intersex conditions.

He also wanted to put me on either testosterone replacement therapy or estrogen replacement therapy. I refused both. I don't want hormone replacement therapy.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

I have been refered to an endocrinologist but I don't want hormones. I want to keep my blood levels like they are now.

There have been others on the site with test results like this and being tested for intersex would be the next step. It would be a good idea to hold off on hormone treatment until you are evaluated by the endocrinologist and have a determination you intersex. After that, it should be your call on starting hormone therapy or not.
