Hi there dear blahaj.zone lemmy instance! I'm Amia, transfem. I've been since June 2025 on Estradiol Undecylate injections, 30mg/28days which seems more than enough. Progress is also pretty visible which I'm happy about and I finally got a nice sweet GP who agreed to do tests for me, nice! Now, I asked to test for my Estrogen (thus all of them and not only estradiol), Testosterone levels and also liver functions. I know that the most important part is having estradiol above 100pg/mL and testosterone below 50ng/dL but for example, with liver functions, do I need to just see if my values are just normal, or should I look into more details? Should I order more tests next time or am I being too paranoid now? I'll get those results back in a few days, so I would really like to double-check for myself how and what I am doing and maybe hear experiences and opinions from other people about all this. Thanks in advance! *PS: First of all, I know that I can just look up the needed values online but I just want to ask for advice to make sure I'm not missing out on anything. *

Hey girl, thank you so much for the detailed reply. I'll give it a full read tomorrow when I'm not slightly drunk. <3.
