I just wish the medical community would agree on a single unit system for blood levels. Especially E and T but seems all blood levels are affected. Europe and North America have different systems and I have no idea whats used in Australia/NZ or other places?

It just makes reading about someone's experiences and then comparing to mine really difficult. E.G at my last blood work my E level was around 600 pmol/L and T  was 1.8  Which probably means nothing to people in the US. An online converter would be useful.

Rant over....... ::)

its not just the two (3) systems that's the problem, its also that people don't post the units of the measurements so you can't work it out.

1.8 miles per hour?

Very few people would normally think about units of measurement. There's probably something very odd about people who do.

Your E2 level (I'm assuming it's Estradiol and not total Estrogen) is 600 pmol/L or 163 pg/ml. Levels range from 20 up to 75,000 pg/ml in ciswomen.

Your T (assuming it's total testosterone) is 1.8 nmol/L or 52 ng/ml. Levels are usually less than 100 ng/dl in ciswomen.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
