This month marks 26 months since I started HRT. What has changed?
Well, I went for some blood tests this month, as I do every 3 months. Here are the results:-
- Oestrogen – 910 pmol/L
- Testosterone – 11.5 nmol/L
My Testosterone is higher than the last time I had my bloods tested, as I ran out of Puberty Blockers for 1 1/2 months. This is because the doctors would not prescribe injections. The injections apparently cost a lot more than tablets, so I had to go without once I had gone through my reserves.
I am glad I usually book blood tests one month in advance, as the labs that do them have been on strike here in the UK. If I had left it too late, I might have submitted my test results late. I would recommend that all transgender people make sure they give plenty of time to get the tests done and get the results back in time.
I feel very happy with the way things are going; my testosterone should go back down as I am now back on puberty blockers in tablet form.
LGBTQIA+ Greens
In unrelated news, I am now on the committee for the LGBTQIA+ Greens as a non-portfolio officer. The LGBTQIA+ Greens are the official LGBT+ wing of The Green Party England & Wales. 15 people went for the 4 available vacancies, and I was one of the lucky ones who got voted in.
I would like to point out that all posts on this blog are my personal opinions and have nothing to do with LGBTQIA+ Greens or the Green Party as a whole
