GAHT Blood Test Results February 2024
Tumblr media
A few milestones have been achieved this month. I’ve reached my third month of gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and was able to get an estradiol implant (200mg, compounded). I kicked pregabalin as it wasn’t helping with my anxiety symptoms – but was helping with sleep… I also ceased indometacin successfully. Hemicrania continua is not being so continua now.
Tumblr media
My phosphates, calcium and ALT levels. Ahhh yes. Let’s start with the ALT. My ALT was easy to fix, cease indometacin. I also took some milk thistle to help keep the old liver in tip top shape – with interesting consequences. I’ll circle back to this one later!
Phosphates and calcium, I do wonder if this is actually a bad thing to have lower numbers on these. A ionised calcium test was ordered and found to be in range, but so were my other calcium stats – this time. I’d only changed my calcium vitamin to a non-plant-based formula as I don’t get much calcium from milk. i.e. I don’t drink milk. End result – calcium levels are OK for now.
Tumblr media
Now phosphates are in everything, it should be difficult to ingest this in low amounts. Thankfully, I have a good history owing to low blood iron and phosphate levels were ordered as a complementary test most of the time. Using this data we can see that I tend to be on the lower side of things. But since starting GAHT, record new lows. Some potential answers could be here and here.
My theory is either my spirulina (cyanobacteria) infused multivitamin is causing lowered calcium and phosphate levels leading to improved bone density. This could perhaps explain the historically lower phosphate levels as I’ve taken this particular multivitamin for a few years now. Then we have this (potato) gem from the second article.
Estrogen therapy (ET) is associated with lower serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations and is known to increase bone mineral density (BMD).
Estrogen and progesterone are very good at not causing osteoporosis. Menopause is a great example of what happens when hormones are absent and why hormone replacement therapy exists for older assigned female at birth (AFAB) people. This puts my mind at ease and we’ll be rechecking in three months.
Tumblr media
Oh iron, sweet, sweet iron. I mean each blood test takes five vials of blood? I’ve given up on blood donations so we can rule that one out and it’s nothing cancer-related so… diet? To keep my ferritin (iron stores) up I’ll be taking 210 mg of elemental iron every other morning one hour before food. This maximises absorption as hepcidin, the enzyme that tells the iron to stay or go, is still sleepy.
Of course vitamin C can override this too if daily dosing was needed. As my levels haven’t reached critical yet, and I don’t enjoy the undesirable GI side effects of iron therapy, every other day gives me roughly half the issues! 😅
Tumblr media
Onto hormones! Errrrr… why did prolactin double and zip outside the reference range in the space of two months. The GP wasn’t sure why and the endocrinologist said it’s not an issue unless it’s triple that number. I had a peek into some literature and pregnant women can have this level between 1000 and 8000 mIU/L. Remembering that pregnant women are not going to have those levels forever.
So what caused mine to spike? I believe it might have been the milk thistle I was taking to fix that pesky liver up from the indometacin damage. Information here, here and here. This has been ceased now so it should drop back within the reference range next blood test. Hold up, I was just reading this again.
In animals, milk thistle has been shown to stimulate bone mineralization. However, how it affects humans is currently unknown.
Hmmm, I wonder if my calcium and phosphate levels will also increase on next blood test without milk thistle supplementation. Something to look forward to as I was only on milk thistle for two weeks.
Tumblr media
Ahh yes traditional sex hormones. One of the more interesting to look analyse. Keep in mind that all my blood tests are done in the trough – which should indicate the lowest concentrations.
On 6 mg oral estradiol valerate (2 mg thrice daily) and estradiol gel (Sandrena brand estradiol 0.1% gel 1g sachets twice daily) I scored a lovely 764 pmol/L. Previously with pill therapy (6 mg) it came in at 364 pmol/L. So a decent jump for just a bit of gel. Good result, so good in fact, I now I have two pellet implants (100mg each) in my left buttock for 200 mg of estradiol. It will be interesting to see how that stabilises over the next three months as they can fluctuate a bit early on.
On the progesterone (P4) front, folks tend to take it after being on estradiol for around 12 months. My endocrinologist doesn’t see any issue with starting it earlier. In AFAB puberty, estradiol peaks before progesterone even appears on the scene. Then again I am not exactly AFAB, so past performance may not be indicative of future performance.
For me, I see progesterone a counterweight against what is intended to be high-dose estrogen. With progesterone in the mix my skin is less dry which was one of my biggest gripes about estrogen monotherapy.
At least one of the metabolites produced, allopregnanolone, is a neurosteroid that acts on the GABAnergic system when taken orally – in a good way, I think. Interestingly enough in a similar way to alcohol, benzodiazepines and even to a lesser degree, pregabalin. Lesser degree in that pregabalin doesn’t touch the GABA receptors themselves, and instead mess with other systems that have a flow on effect to the GABAnergic system.
Oh I could ramble on for days about this sort of thing. Let’s look at the level itself. 9.1 nmol/L. Alright, that’s in the trough still so that’s quite good. Last dose would have been 12 hours ago. It puts me somewhere between pre-ovulation and mid-cycle. I have since doubled the dose on my endocrinologists recommendation.
There are other routes of administration (ROA) for progesterone, butt (ha!), my current compounded powder (200mg twice daily) is not compatible. I would need to purchase the non-compounded version to do that, and it’s not on my radar at this point in time as it is quite expensive.
Converting my 9.1 nmol/L to a US-friendly unit of 2.6 ng/mL helps locate where I am on these charts, you can see where I fit in. You’ll also maybe note that progesterone via the rectal ROA results in markedly different levels of progesterone, allopregnanolone and pregnanolone.
Tumblr media
Which leads us onto finasteride which is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5ARI). It stops this particular enzyme (5-alpha reductase) from doing what it wants to do. This is primarily used to stop testosterone (T) conversion to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
For assigned male at birth (AMAB) people, DHT gives you the gift of male pattern baldness provided you have the correct set of genes. As a transgender woman, I don’t really want to be bald if I can avoid it. So I started taking finasteride early on. However progesterone and finasteride both inhibit the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. And the finasteride, as it turns out affects a little more than just the 5AR enzyme.
Tumblr media
Remember our little friend allopregnanolone from earlier? Blocked. What about isopregnanolone. Blocked. Finasteride is really quite a dirty drug with lots of off-target activity.
I’ve deemed it as unnecessary for the same reason I don’t take any testosterone blockers, such as cyproterone acetate or spironolactone. We’re going for estrogen dominance here. Women do have testosterone, but it isn’t the dominant sex hormone.
It is unclear if there is any added benefit to taking one of these medicines once your testosterone levels have been reduced into the female range through the use of other blockers.
The science behind it all is always a work in progress. But for now let’s keep that key phrase – estrogen dominance; the female hormone range, at the front of our minds.
If the presence of DHT makes male pattern baldness progress… what happens once I cease finasteride, will it also resume? Well, that’s where the next set of blood results come in.
Tumblr media
Oh there it is, estrogen dominance achieved! Testosterone levels in AFAB have a reference range of less than 2.0 nmol/L (pre-menopause). And there I am sitting pretty at 1.1 nmol/L. My sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is heading up and up. I can’t find the document I had, I am sure it said above 115 nmol/L can result in estrogens being bound. In lieu of that article, from Wikipedia.
The relative binding affinity of various sex steroids for SHBG is dihydrotestosterone (DHT) > testosterone > androstenediol > estradiol > estrone. DHT binds to SHBG with about 5 times the affinity of testosterone and about 20 times the affinity of estradiol.
So having a high SHBG level is a good thing, the higher the better. Bind all the sex hormones so they can’t be used – male ones are lost first, then the female ones. That means goodbye any DHT generated by the mere 1.1 nmol/L of T.
The calculated free testosterone being below 25 pmol/L is also a great sign things are heading in the right direction. This is why testosterone blocking isn’t required for me. I really do enjoy delving into this sort of data and getting a better understanding of what it all means. So that’s it for now. I look forward to my next set of results sometime in May. 🙃

Comprendre et réduire le taux de la SHBG naturellement
La SHBG ou globuline de liaison des hormones sexuelles permet de réguler et de transporter les hormones sexuelles comme la testostérone ou les œstrogènes à travers le corps. Une dérégulation cause de nombreux problèmes de santé. Heureusement, nous avons des moyens naturels d’agir sur notre taux de SHBG, ce que nous allons voir dans cet article. Après votre lecture, vous pouvez regarder ma vidéo…

OK SO here's that separate post i was talking about in the tags of my last rb
i recently learned* you can have completely normal levels of total testosterone but high levels of "free" testosterone (testosterone that your body can use). your body has sex hormone binding globules (sbhg's) which bind to, well, sex hormones, and prevent them from working to regulate the levels of sex hormones more accurately. if those levels are low for whatever reason, it means that more of the testosterone in your body is available for use. while i'm sure that's not the only potential cause, my point is that you VERY MUCH can have "normal" levels of testosterone (if we ever figure out what those are) and have "hyperandrogenism" (loaded term because hirsutism is usually the main symptom and has a...pretty racist history but you get the point).
as a note on that though, low shbg levels can often be associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which can cause health issues beyond just hyperandrogenism. so if you have hyperandroginism caused by that, it's worth looking into other issues you may have possibly being related!
tl;dr there are LOTS of reasons for "hyperandroginism", and yes, sometimes (probably more frequently than the medical system wants to admit) it just Happens due to natural variations! but also, in some cases it can be associated with other issues. so if you have issues that you have yet to find any reasonable explanation for and symptoms of high testosterone, it's worth looking into hormonal imbalances/related conditions because sex hormones DO interact with other hormones and body processes and that's important to keep in mind!
*by "recently learned" i mean i was going through old bloodwork and found out that this was the case for me pre-t because my doctor just said "yeah your testosterone is highish" and didn't elaborate. qed, it can be very beneficial to learn to read your own bloodwork (i know at least for usamericans, quest diagnostics lets you access your bloodwork online and has short descriptions of each test's meaning, but you can easily find more detailed ones online!)

I’ve been on gel for a bit over three years. I still get my period with my T at 300 or so, and it’s also very regular. It stopped for two months early on in my treatment, when my levels were (unintentionally) higher, around 450 iirc. From my experience I feel like 560 should probably be high enough, but everyone’s different, and I’m not a doctor. My endo also always orders an SHBG blood test, from what I’ve heard it helps interpret T levels.
I've switched to subcutaneous T shots and that finally got rid of my period. It's also deepened my voice a lot but eh, I'll take it.
I am thinking about getting a hysterectomy. From what I've heard it's a pretty fast recovery period, not like top surgery -- top surgery sounds like a nightmare. Respect and love to whoever wants to do it, and you should always have access to it! But yikes, the short-term recovery is long and the potential long-term effects of chest scarring on the shoulders is something that I've encountered repeatedly in my work as a massage therapist.

Low testosterone
FSH and LH tell the testes and ovaries to make sex hormones and gametes. So if you're making a lot of FSH and LH, it's because your brain is trying to tell your sex organs to make what they're supposed to make. If the testes aren't responding to LH, then the pituitary will make more LH, trying to get the testes to go. So if you have low testosterone and high LH, it's primary hypogonadism, meaning the testes are just not making the testosterone. If your testosterone is low and your LH is low, then it's secondary hypogonadism because your brain isn't making enough LH to stimulate the testes to make testosterone.
From UpToDate:
Definition – Hypogonadism in a male refers to a decrease in either or both of the two major functions of the testes: sperm production and testosterone production. These abnormalities may result from disease of the testes (primary hypogonadism) or disease of the pituitary or hypothalamus (secondary hypogonadism).
●Signs and symptoms
•Failure to undergo or complete puberty indicates deficient testosterone secretion.
•Symptoms that could indicate hypogonadism in a man are decreases in energy, libido, muscle mass, and body hair, as well as hot flashes, gynecomastia, and infertility.
●Candidates for testing – We suggest case detection by measuring serum testosterone when hypogonadism is suspected, such as in those with sexual symptoms, osteoporosis-associated fractures, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated weight loss, those taking sustained-release opioids or high-dose glucocorticoids for prolonged periods, and those who are incompletely virilized or have small testes on examination.
Men with acute or subacute illness should not be assessed for hypogonadism, as they will have a transient functional secondary hypogonadism.
●Evaluation
•Serum total testosterone – To make the diagnosis of hypogonadism, we suggest measuring a morning serum total testosterone concentration between 8 and 10 AM on at least two days.
•Serum free testosterone – Measurement of the serum free testosterone concentration is worthwhile only when it is suspected that an abnormality in testosterone binding to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) coexists with hypogonadism. The two most common situations of abnormal testosterone binding are obesity, which decreases SHBG concentrations, and aging, which increases SHBG.
•LH and FSH – If the total testosterone is subnormal, it should be repeated between 8 and 10 AM, and serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating (FSH) concentrations should be measured to distinguish primary from secondary hypogonadism.
•Semen analysis – A semen analysis is also part of the evaluation of hypogonadism if the patient is pursuing fertility or has been diagnosed with infertility. If subnormal, a serum FSH concentration is measured to distinguish primary from secondary hypogonadism.
●Interpretation of results
•Primary hypogonadism – The patient has primary hypogonadism if the serum testosterone concentration and/or the sperm count are consistently below normal and the serum LH and/or FSH concentrations are above normal.
•Secondary hypogonadism – The patient has secondary hypogonadism if the serum testosterone concentration and/or the sperm count are consistently subnormal and the serum LH and/or FSH concentrations are normal or reduced.

Ah yes, the incompetence of the medical field.
See the PCP to try and get appropriate referrals because I really need one person managing my HRT and hashimotos, since the former directly affects med dosages of the latter. I also want to try and get a handle on the constant inflammation issues that are most likely not related to the hashimotos.
Doc is running behind. No one gets a medication update from me. Manage endo referral and get inflammation panel ordered, but get rushed back out of office without half the things on my list addressed.
Doc runs blood work. Blood sugar comes back a little elevated, cholesterol is completely whacked, WBC count is, as usual, nicely elevated, and inflammation makers are pissed off as expected.
I get a call stating that they are all concerned about the blood sugar and the cholesterol. Want to repeat labs in a week. Oh, and they ordered an A1C.
Bitch, I'm on accutane. That shit fucks your cholesterol. I also have needle poke anxiety, so the blood sugar always spikes. Chill. It's fine. Please redo my T labs because they came back stupid high, and it's probably because I had applied the gel maybe an hour before having blood drawn.
A1C comes back pre-diabetic. Huh. That's odd. I'm usually really darn good on that one. Oh hey, look at this. Turns out that accutane will raise your A1C noticeably around the 5 month mark (hi, that's where we're at). Well that makes sense. Cool.
Repeated CBC comes back with yet further elevated WBC. Surprise surprise.
Get a call from the assistant. "You're in pre-diabetic levels. Doc wants you to eat a low carb diet and we'll recheck in 3 months."
"I'm on accutane. It will raise the A1C. Yeah, sure, we'll redo labs. Whatever."
Bitch, I've been on a low carb diet for at least the last 5 years. Like, cool it. And maybe have half a brain. If you'd bother to look at the previous recorded result, you'd see that I'm usually golden. Also maybe look at things a bit more holistically? Like, I'm losing weight, for gods' sakes. Did you bother to notice that I weigh less than last time you saw me? Did ya? Nah. Didn't think so.
I'll let you run labs in 6 months. One, because I probably have another month of accutane left. Two, the A1C reflects the last three months of blood sugar, so we need to give my body time to recover. Three, because chronic inflammation also affects all that shit, and my body needs time to calm down.
Also, how about you address the elevated WBC and inflammation markers like I asked you to? HMMMMMM?
All this followed by an automated email from planned Parenthood stating that my hormone levels came back high and they want a SHBG run.
We ran the SHBG alongside the testosterone. 🤦
And yes, the second round of T labs did come back lower, but still higher than I was expecting. Combined with the SHBG, things are a little high, but we'll adjust and be fine.
Nothing like having to educate and manage your own damn doctors. Constantly. And nothing like having to wrangle referrals from said doctors because you need specialists for your care, and said specialists won't take new patients without said referrals.
I'm annoyed and bitching. Because chronic health conditions also means chronic doctor management. And I'm tired of it.
