Hi Jennifer, the next time you meet with your doctor see if you add the following to your blood test:

SHBG
Free E2% 
DHT
Progesterone (since you're now taking it)

What's important about lab results for SHBG and Free E2% is it tells us how your body is utilizing E2 in your blood and estrogen receptors. Without this knowledge we're only getting a part of the picture. Example…if you're E2 came back high but the Free E2% was 1.30% or lower than you're not synthesizing enough free E2. 

With a low E2% your breast growth will be slow. The DHT test is for obvious reasons. There's other tests that can reveal how feminized your blood is (in comparison to female range, I like to think of it as another indicator of how well you're feminizing, kid you not). 

I'll be sharing my recent lab results from February tomorrow, and my results correlate from the example I just mentioned above. I was running an experiment using subQ estradiol valerate injections and micro-dosing E2 (with my doctors approval)...but more on that tomorrow. 

Good luck
