Hey guys, I got back my hormone panel lab tests and am very disapointed. I am at the bottom of the barrel in regards to test levels. Everything else seems fine. Here are the results:
Cortisol......Actual(ng/ml)..........Norm Range
8am........... 34.3 ..................... 35.0-63.0
noon.......... 12.0 ..................... 14.4-28.2
4pm........... 5.6 ....................... 8.8-23.7
8pm........... 3.9 ....................... 6.4-16.0
midnight..... 16.5 ...................... 2.4-12.8
4am........... 3.2 ....................... 3.2-16.0
DHEA........Actual(ng/ml)..........Norm Range
8am......... 6.5 ......................... 2.8-12.7
8pm......... 8.6 ......................... 2.7-9.0
midnight... 2.4 ......................... 1.8-8.1
Testosterone ........Actual(pg/ml) ......... Norm Range
8am .................... 90.5 .................... 95.0-650.0
noon ................... 94.8 .................... 95.0-650.0
8pm .................... 91.0 .................... 95.0-650.0
midnight .............. 90.6 .................... 95.0-650.0
Free Testosterone ........ 15.2 pg/ml ....... 9.3-26.5
Estradiol ......... 1.8 pg/ml ......... 1.0-3.0
Progesterone ... 74 pg/ml .......... 5-95
Here is my info:
I have never done a cycle of any kind. I am 21 years old and have been weight lifting since 18. Why are my total test levels so low, but my free levels appear to be normal?
I was hoping some of you more experiences bros could give me some insight. Should I go to the doctor? Everything seems to be incheck except my total test levels. How can they be so low, I am so young. Am I screwed body-building wise? I was planning on starting my first cycle when my back heals, does this mean even with a sufficient pct, I will not be able to maintain any of my gains?
I have noticed that when I stop training for even a few weeks or so, I lose my muscle mass and strength rather quickly.
When I do go to the doctor, should I say or ask him anything specific. Give me some good advice.
Thanks!
