Hello Trixiebell

Are you using Testosterone as part of your HRT or is it your own natural testosterone that is increasing?

I have used testosterone in the past but  I haven't done so for a few years. I had my natural blood levels measured recently and as they were in the normal range no action was required.

Hopefully someone will be along soon to advise you.

Take care.

This is still well within normal range, and the assays used are not sensitive enough to discriminate reliably between 1.3 and 1.7.

The only clinical utility of a plasma testosterone level in females is to identify a significantly elevated level, ie someone requiring medical evaluation if untreated or consideration of dose reduction if treated.
