I just had my two month blood test and my results are -
Testosterone - 114 NG/DL
Estrogen - 76 PG/ML
My Doctor says these are normal for a woman. :D :D
I really haven't seen much in the way of physical effects so far, of course, but I wanted to share!

If that's estradiol, it's a bit low but the levels are higher than mine. If it's total estrogen, the level could be quite low. T levels are a bit high but not by much. It's possible given a little time your T levels might drop a bit more as the blocker takes effect.

THanks, Dena! It is Estradiol. My doctor says the level fluctuates - my first test was 143.
As far as testosterone, she offered spiro but I decided to hold off for a bit and see how it goes with the estrogen.

Hi Karlie,
It sounds like we might be just about in the same place. After about a month I am T: 118 ng/dL and my E is 49.6 pg/mL
So I am a bit behind you...nothing huge physically but mental benefits have been terrific...on a really low dose of both spiro and estradiol for now though...
Thanks for sharing!

At my 90 day blood test my numbers were similar to yours with somewhat higher T. With the same E dose my E level continued to rise and at the 14 month blood test it was 152 pg/ml. So I imagine yours will continue upwards too with time. I did increase my spiro dose at 9 months though and that dropped the T to 19 ng/dl.
