Progesterone Is Important for Transgender Women’s Therapy

[Linde]

Hello Everyone

You may recall I started Progesterone March 17th but my quarterly Blood Tests were due yesterday and hence that for Progesterone refers to just 74 days.

My readings are: E 242 (Intl)   or 66 (US)
                         T  0.4 (Intl)  or  12 (US)
                         P  3.7 (Intl)  or 107 (US). I assume in US you measure P in ng/dl as you do for T but please correct me if I am wrong. Intl is nmol/l.


My thoughts are that: E is low as previous reading was 558 (Intl) or 152 (US)
                                T is fine
                                P is a little high

I shall discuss with my doctor and endo and let you know their thoughts in due course.

Hugs

your E seems to be quite a bit on the low side.  How do you control your T?  Maybe that has a side effect to also push your E down?

My thoughts are, depending on your age, your doctor may be making your target numbers in line with a menopausal woman.
