Before starting any Hormone Replacement Therapy regimen a baseline of certain laboratory tests are recommended. It is also important to have regular lab testing to ensure the prescribed therapy is working as intended. Transgender Hormone Therapy programs vary by prescriber as well as the recommended lab tests for baseline assessment and monitoring. The lab tests listed on this page are the tests that are most popular with gender reassignment.
Prolactin (Quest Diagnostics)
Same day lab order delivery
HSA/FSA reimbursable
Both men and women usually have low levels of prolactin. High levels of prolactin, interfere with the man's ability to produce testosterone.
Prolactin is a protein hormone of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland that induces and maintains lactation in the postpartum women.
During pregnancy and postpartum lactation, serum prolactin can increase 10- to 20-fold. Exercise, stress, and sleep also cause transient increases in prolactin levels. Consistently elevated serum prolactin levels (>30 ng/mL), in the absence of pregnancy and postpartum lactation, are indicative of hyperprolactinemia. Hypersecretion of prolactin can be caused by pituitary adenomas, hypothalamic disease, breast or chest wall stimulation, renal failure or hypothyroidism. A number of drugs, including many antidepressants, are also common causes of abnormally elevated prolactin levels. Hyperprolactinemia often results in galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertility in women, and in impotence and hypogonadism in men. Renal failure, hypothyroidism, and prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas are also common causes of abnormally elevated prolactin levels.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Prolactin, serum
Overnight fasting is preferred. Fasting is defined as no consumption of food or beverage other than water for at least 8 - 10 hours before testing.
Estimated turnaround for results is 3 business days. If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) (Quest Diagnostics)
Same day lab order delivery
HSA/FSA reimbursable
FSH/LH testing is used in the workup of infertility (for both men and women). Used also to investigate low sperm count, menstrual irregularities, pitutary disorders, diseases involving the testes or ovaries. May be used to determine the cause of early or delayed puberty.
FSH and LH are secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH) secreted by the hypothalamus. In both males and females, FSH and LH secretion is regulated by a balance of positive and negative feedback mechanisms involving the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, the reproductive organs, and the pituitary and sex steroid hormones. FSH and LH play a critical role in maintaining the normal function of the male and female reproductive systems. Abnormal FSH levels with corresponding increased or decreased levels of LH, estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are associated with a number of pathological conditions. Increased FSH levels are associated with menopause and primary ovarian hypofunction in females and primary hypogonadism in males. Decreased levels of FSH are associated with primary ovarian hyper-function in females and primary hypergonadism in males. Normal or decreased levels of FSH are associated with polycystic ovary disease in females. In males, LH is also called interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH). Abnormal LH levels with corresponding increased or decreased levels of FSH, estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are associated with a number of pathological conditions. Increased LH levels are associated with menopause, primary ovarian hypofunction, and polycystic ovary disease in females and primary hypo-gonadism in males. Decreased LH levels are associated with primary ovarian hyperfunction in females and primary hyper-gonadism in males.

FAQ
-
What is gender reassignment testing?
Gender reassignment testing is a medical test that evaluates and monitors hormone therapy and surgery. Usually, they are done to analyze transgender people’s gender reassignment procedures, which entail modifications of their physiology and physical appearance.
-
What is the purpose of gender reassignment testing?
The primary purpose of gender reassignment testing is to monitor an individual’s hormone levels and physical characteristics to ensure they are consistent with their gender identity or ready to start their therapy journey. It's a way to:
- Evaluate the efficacy and safety of hormonal treatment
- Decide on necessary modifications
- Check that the transgender individual is healthy enough to start gender reassignment therapy
-
What is some of the testing that a transgender person must go through?
The best treatment protocol usually starts with an evaluation of the patient’s genetics, a history of family members, as well as a screening of their general health and any history of illness. Also, it is advised to perform blood tests for hormone levels, lipid profiles, CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) and CBC (complete blood count).
-
How effective is gender reassignment therapy?
There is no definitive answer to how effective gender reassignment therapy is, as success rates depend on:
- The individual's specific goals and objectives
- The type of gender reassignment therapy used
- The individual's physiological reaction to the treatment and procedures
That being said, getting regular testing will allow you to get a more effective and safe treatment in the long run.
-
Do I need to visit a doctor?
Nope. You don't need a doctor's visit to get a test with us.
-
How do I get my results?
You'll get your results via email as soon as they are available. We will notify you via SMS as well. You can also see them at any time in the future right in your dashboard where you can easily share them with your professional and compare them side by side with future tests.
-
Does my lab prescription expire?
We're the only lab that honors your lab order forever.
