SHBG matters, get off birth control. T stops your periods

is happening. messaged planned parenthood (t provider) with the results and she said not to worry about SHBG bc it's not routinely measured for standard masculinizing hrt and my birth control containing estrogen is not affecting anything. i am overwhelmed and want to cry and idk who to believe or what to do.
