a bit of reasearch.

hi gals!

i was hoping i could ask you for a little bit of help, im doing some research on hormone levels and such. prior to and after starting hrt. so if any of you would be interested in helping me that would be most helpful.

this is all being done independently. im trying to have a better understanding of it all, as i wish to have as much information as i can gather.

ive been doing as much reading as i could, and so i could actually look at the effects i was hoping you may be my sample population for seeing the effects of hrt.

i have a few questions, if you would reply answering. any or all that would be appreciated.

have you ever been diagnosed with an intersexed condition?

are you currently on hrt? if so, for how long?

prior to hrt, did you have "sex" hormone levels abnormal to your birth assigned sex? if you know the measurements you may provide them.

(e.g. E levels outside a 40-100 , or T levels outside the 240- 830 ranges for assigned males.)

were then any abnormalities with your secondary sex hormones? such as FSh or Lh

please mention the hormones currently being treated with hrt (please do not give dosages or any other information of that nature)

after starting hrt what are your current E and T levels?

what physical effects did you expect hrt would have?

did these effects occur? if yes how long did it take for them to be noticeable?

were there any physical side effects you did not expect?

what effects did you expect hrt to have on you Emotionally?

did these effects occur? if yes how long did it take for them to be noticeable?

where there any emotional side effects you did not expect?

have you ever halted your hrt since initially starting? if yes what effect did this have on you?

please add any additional information you believe would be relevent. if you have any links to studies done those would be so helpful!

thank you so much for helping me : ) hopefully i can use some of this data! yall are awesome .

im still pre hrt. but i plan on starting as soon as i can. but first i need to do some comparitives as i have some abnormalities im trying to account for.

thanks so much!!!
