Source: Massachusetts General Hospital, New England Journal of Medicine. (N Engl J Med 2004;351:1548-63). These ranges represent normal values for people not receiving any kind of hormone therapy. Levels achieved during appropriate transgender hormone therapy may or may not match these ranges. Note: the word “menstruating” in the table means, old enough so that menses has begun, but before menopause — it doesn’t necessarily mean during the actual days of monthly flow.
