A focused monitoring panel for women currently on HRT. Tracks hormone levels, metabolic markers, and inflammation every 3 months to ensure therapy is effective and safe. This quarterly monitoring panel tracks the key markers your HRT provider needs to assess therapeutic response and safety. It includes reproductive hormones (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone total and free, FSH, LH, SHBG), thyroid function (TSH), metabolic markers (fasting glucose via CMP, lipid panel), blood health (CBC), and inflammation (hs-CRP). Regular monitoring every 3 months allows your provider to fine-tune dosing and catch any metabolic changes early. Fast for 10-12 hours before the blood draw and note the day of your cycle when labs are drawn. **Clinical use:** Female HRT monitoring: Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone, SHBG, TSH, Lipid Panel, hs-CRP, CMP. The standard quarterly workup recommended during HRT titration and ongoing therapy. ## Who should order it? Women currently on hormone replacement therapy. Recommended every 3-6 months during dose titration and the first year, then every 6-12 months once stable. ## Tests included | Test | Biomarkers | Standalone price | CPT | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [CBC (Complete Blood Count)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cbc) | 9 (WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, …) | $21.99 | 85027 | | [Comprehensive Metabolic Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) | 14 (Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, …) | $22.99 | 80053 | | [Estradiol (E2)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/estradiol) | 1 (Estradiol) | $35.99 | 82670 | | [Progesterone](https://www.test-well.com/tests/progesterone) | 1 (Progesterone) | $31.99 | 84144 | | [FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/fsh) | 1 (FSH) | $29.99 | 83001 | | [LH (Luteinizing Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/luteinizing-hormone) | 1 (LH) | $36.99 | 83002 | | [Testosterone, Total](https://www.test-well.com/tests/testosterone-total) | 1 (Total Testosterone) | $33.99 | 84403 | | [Testosterone, Free (Direct)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/testosterone-free) | 1 (Free Testosterone) | $33.99 | 84402 | | [SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/shbg-sex-hormone-binding-globulin) | 1 (SHBG) | $34.99 | 84270 | | [TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/tsh) | 1 (TSH) | $26.99 | 84443 | | [Lipid Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/lipid-panel) | 4 (Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol (calculated), Triglycerides) | $24.99 | 80061 | | [Heart & Body Inflammation Test (hs-CRP)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/hs-crp) | 1 (hs-CRP) | $34.99 | 86141 | ## Price by lab | Lab | Panel price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $179.99 | $185.99 | Choose at checkout | ## How much does a Female HRT Quarterly Monitoring Panel cost?

[Estradiol](https://www.test-well.com/tests/estradiol), [Progesterone](https://www.test-well.com/tests/progesterone), [Testosterone](https://www.test-well.com/tests/testosterone-total), [SHBG](https://www.test-well.com/tests/shbg-sex-hormone-binding-globulin), [TSH](https://www.test-well.com/tests/tsh), [Lipid Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/lipid-panel), [hs-CRP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/hs-crp), [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel). About 20 biomarkers for dose effectiveness and safety monitoring. ### What estradiol level should I target on HRT? Depends on symptoms and HRT type. General targets: oral estradiol 50-100 pg/mL; transdermal patch 40-80 pg/mL; cream/gel 30-60 pg/mL. Many women feel best at the higher end. Always interpret in context of symptoms — labs alone don't tell the whole story. ### When should I draw blood relative to my HRT dose? For patches: ~24-48 hours after application (steady state). For oral: 2-4 hours after dose (peak) or trough at 24 hours. For creams/gels: 2-4 hours after morning application. For pellets: at month 3 post-insertion (mid-cycle steady state). Consistency matters more than the exact time — always draw at the same point in your dosing cycle. ### How much does the Female HRT Quarterly Panel cost without insurance? On TestWell, the Female HRT Quarterly Panel is $179.99. Ordering the same tests separately would be about $230. Quest Direct lists comparable bundles at $289, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $500-800 without insurance. ### How is this different from the HRT Starting Panel? [HRT Starting Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/female-hrt-starting-panel) at $250 is more comprehensive — adds FSH, LH, CBC. HRT Quarterly focuses on dose effectiveness (Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone) plus safety monitoring (Lipid, hs-CRP, CMP). Quarterly is the right ongoing-monitoring panel; Starting is the right pre-therapy panel. ### Do I need to fast? Yes — 9-12 hours fasting (water only) for accurate [Lipid Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/lipid-panel) and [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) results. ### How often should I retest on HRT? Every 6-8 weeks during initial titration. Every 3-6 months in the first year. Annually once stable on goal dose with stable symptoms. More frequently if symptoms change, dose is adjusted, or you switch HRT formulations. ## How to order 1.
