HRT results


Laura Beth

Recommended Posts

I had a doctor's appointment today and got my results from my blood tests; my testosterone was 3.8 nmol/l and my estrogen was at 118 pmol/l. The estrogen was higher last time it was tested but has come back down to close to what my results were before I started HRT and my testosterone has gone down steadily.  I am still within the female range for hormones so the doctor hasn't made any changes to my scripts. I even taught the doctor something today about the patches that she didn't realize before hand; what the maximum amount of estrogen each patch can release per 24 hours at the highest level before having to use two patches at the same time.

I must have missed this post.  Sorry.

Is this different than the amount on the label?  How is it determined?  For example, wouldn't two ____ patches provide for ____total E daily?

Yes, two _____patches would provide the ____ total daily but the doctor didn't realize that the Estradot ____patches was the highest level made to be used.

Just an update to this post. I went to the doctor responsible for my hormones today and got my blood test results for my six month HRT follow-up. My estrogen level was up from 118 last time to 135 and my testosterone was down from 3.8 to 0.7. The doctor also thanked me for spreading the info around to members of different organizations and being a strong voice for the cause. She also said there is a great need for more professionals to be trained to work with the transgender community.

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!

      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.

      Congrats!
