IIRC that’s why most labs require multiple samples but IANAMD.

Transient elevation is possible without long term aberrant effects, though the result will have to be explained to future doctors and insurance underwriters who will want to know if it was due to poorly-managed / self-administered HRT or an unchecked gonadal growth. If neither of those things, and no other symptoms present, it’s treated as normal.
