What's this test for?

This test is designed for transgender individuals who are monitoring their hormone levels during transition or considering hormone therapy. It helps track your body's response to hormone replacement therapy by measuring key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and related markers that affect your physical changes, energy levels, and overall well-being. Many people use this test to ensure their hormone levels are in the right range for their transition goals and to catch any potential health concerns early.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels mean for your transition progress and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations on hormone dosing considerations, lifestyle adjustments, or when to follow up with your healthcare provider. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful for monitoring how your body responds to hormone therapy adjustments.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Estradiol, Total Estrogens, Estrone, Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, DHT, Progesterone, DHEA-S, Prolactin, FSH, LH, SHBG, IGF-1, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (glucose, liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes), and Complete Blood Count. This comprehensive panel evaluates your hormonal balance through detailed measurements of estrogen (estradiol, total estrogens, estrone), testosterone (total and free), and DHT, which are critical for monitoring transition progress and ensuring safe, effective hormone therapy. It checks metabolic health, liver and kidney function to ensure hormone therapy isn't causing complications, and measures prolactin, FSH, LH, and other hormones that affect sexual function and overall wellness. It also includes a complete blood count and growth factors, providing a complete picture of how hormone therapy is affecting your body and helping identify any adjustments needed for optimal health during your transition.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. If you're using testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for at least 24 hours before testing, as this can affect results. If you take biotin supplements (vitamin B7 or B8), stop taking them at least 72 hours before your test, as high doses can interfere with some measurements.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically available within 7 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is needed for specific markers, it may take a few extra days. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for anyone currently on hormone replacement therapy for gender transition, those preparing to start hormone therapy, or individuals who want to establish baseline hormone levels before beginning treatment. It's also valuable for people who have been on hormones for a while and want to ensure their levels are optimized and that therapy isn't causing any metabolic or organ function issues.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Consider this test if you're experiencing unexpected mood changes, fatigue, or physical changes that don't match your transition goals while on hormone therapy. It's also important if you notice symptoms like persistent headaches, vision changes, breast discomfort, liver-related symptoms like yellowing skin, or changes in energy and libido that concern you. Regular monitoring helps catch these issues early.

How can I naturally support my hormone health during transition?

Supporting your body during hormone therapy includes eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats to support liver function and overall metabolism. Regular exercise, quality sleep, and stress management through mindfulness or yoga can help optimize hormone absorption and reduce side effects. Staying hydrated, limiting alcohol, and avoiding smoking are especially important as your body adjusts to hormone changes.

What is estradiol and why does it matter for transition?

Estradiol is the primary form of estrogen and is the key hormone responsible for feminizing physical changes during transition, including breast development, fat redistribution, and skin softness. Monitoring estradiol levels ensures you're in the right range to achieve your transition goals while avoiding levels that are too high, which can increase health risks. It's one of the most important markers to track throughout feminizing hormone therapy.

How often should I retest my hormone levels?

When starting hormone therapy or adjusting doses, most healthcare providers recommend testing every 3 months until levels stabilize in your target range. Once your hormones are stable and you're feeling well, testing every 6-12 months is typical for ongoing monitoring. If you experience new symptoms or make medication changes, your provider may recommend testing sooner to ensure everything is on track.
