Before you begin any hormone therapy treatments you need to complete the evaluation checklist
HRT Objective Measures: Your Evaluation Checklist
This checklist can help you and your doctor evaluate your hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Before starting HRT, get a “baseline” hormone profile—a blood or saliva test to measure your:
- FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone–tells whether you have reached menopause; also helps show whether HRT is absorbed by the body. Blood test only.)
- Estradiol (The most active estrogen–replacement levels should be greater than 60 pg/ml to protect against bone loss; for optimal benefit and well-being, levels should be 100-200 ng/dl when measured in blood; 0.5-10 pg/ml when measured in saliva.)
- Progesterone (5-15 ng/dl in blood; 0.01-0.5 pg/ml in saliva. Progesterone is measured during the second half of the menstrual cycle.)
- Testosterone (Normal levels for women are between 30-50 ng/dl in blood; 10-50 pg/ml in saliva.)
- After starting HRT, write down how you feel, side effects, etc.
Four to eight weeks after starting HRT, retest your hormone levels, as above. Thereafter, a yearly evaluation will let you and your doctor know if your hormone levels are within normal ranges.
