@bongo_x not really? I get it checked at a lab about every six months. The only physical danger would be if it was extremely high or if I couldn't produce estrogen. If I just stopped taking T, estrogen would kick in. There's no "risk" really unless you can't produce any hormones at all.

@afabulous

Yeah, I wasn't thinking in terms of being overly dangerous, just didn't know it was something that couldn't be done at home. I assumed anyone taking hormones could monitor them.

@komara yeah, I always have mine done in a proper lab with a doctor's prescription. Apparently some companies will do it without a prescription (you still have to go to the lab) but it's about $100. If it's lower than my normal, it doesn't have any effect on my physical health, it just messes with my emotions. It's surprising how much of your "self" is affected by hormones.
