Title: my confusing blood results
Post by: alicel on January 28, 2014, 09:35:52 AM
Hi everybody,

I was wondering if somebody familiar with chemical measurements could help me out?

My estrogen levels were recorded in nmol/l and I have not found any reference values that use nmol/l, because they have been expressed in either pmol/l or pg/mg, and I am at a loss.

23-01-2014   oestradiol      0,190   nmol/l   

Lots of thanks,
A

0.190 nmol/L would equate to 190 pmol/L

Nano = billionth, 10-9  Pico = trillionth 10-12

Thanks so much for your conversions. I think I should try and raise my levels towards 500 pmol/l, if my doctor thinks this reasonably safe, and should be because my Progynova dose is low, and I've been taking this for 4 months now. My  T levels have been in the low female range :)
