Title: Just got my hormone levels
Post by: link5019 on September 09, 2016, 10:45:37 AM
 So I just got home from my 6 month checkup (omg so amazing to be at half a year), and I finally know my levels, the wait is over!!! So for my estradiol it's at 114pg/mL and my Total Testosterone is at 7ng/dL which is well within normal range for a female and for transition! ^_^ It's so amazing and I'm so happy ^_^ Which means my transition is going as smooth as it can ^_^ yay for 6 months, and here's to the next (I'll do a 6 month update tomorrow.).

All the best

Hi,
Getting the levels is a measuring point. I asked my GP to check these (belgium here, all medical data is available everywhere) and my estradiol is too low...but (on the up side) my testosterone production is completely suppressed...
I yet have to go for the six-month checkup...so I'm excited as to what the endo will do next :)
Gongratulations :)

It's a fun point when T drops so low.  I just got my three month numbers, and testosterone is at 7 ng/dL.

Alas, estrogen is <50 pg/ml, or not detectable.  That was on a test 98 hours after applying a biweekly, or 84 hour patch.  The Mylan patches have serum estradiol numbers dropping pretty fast past the end time.  I sort of timed it that way on purpose. Now the prescription has been changed to put me on biweekly biweekly patches, one every 3 1/2 days, so I'll get a smoother delivery. :)
