Blood Test Results

[surtr]

Ok I'm about to start a cycle, just planning it out so far, but wanted to do everything right this time around so went and got a test done. If you guys could just share some of your wisdom with me first I would appreciate it. Let me know what crosses your mind when you look at these Test levels

Total Testosterone 172 ng/dl
%free Testosterone 2.37 H
Free testoterone 40.7 pg/ml

thanks for all input.

Something's not right. (Unless maybe you swallowed a case of UNLEASHED). Your free T is impossibly high, especially if your total is only 172. My guess is that free T is 4.07

no thats about normal or i thought it was about normal maybe even a little low i thought normal free test levels were about 50 i may be wrong and if i am please correct me

hmm...my sheet does say 40.7 and the range is 35 to 155 for the FREE TESTOSTERONE category. The TOTAL TEST of 172 is below their 250-1100 range and the % FREE TESTOSTERONE is 2.37 which is above their range of 1.5 to 2.2

pretty sure i'm reading it right.

My age is 32 and I weigh in at 220. Been lifting since junior high and getting back into it after a few years off.

yea bro. thats pretty low. my test came back 3 weeks ago at 272.
what are you planning? HRT?

 

[surtr]

HRT....man wasn't expecting to be considering that. Was planning on just getting a baseline for myself to aim for post cycle. For now i'm hoping some more people can weigh in on this so I have some advice to work with. I am a little taken back, never thought about myself as having low levels.

What should I be thinking or doing?

You need to use units as different labs in the US use different units.

For example, it is like saying I have 8.

It doesn't make any sense otherwise.
