Free Testosterone Level

[HellsMessenger]

Getting ready to start my first cycle in a couple of weeks so I had my bloodwork done last week and here are the results

Total test: 475 (241-827 is normal)

Free test: 62.1 (47-244 is normal)


Sure seems like my free test is kind of low. Of course I was on a low cal diet at the time and fasting prior to the blood test. Should I be concerned seeing I am only 35 years old?

Haven't actually talked to my doctor about it yet. Does free test vary from day to day or is it relatively stable?

Maybe my doc will give me so testosterone replacement therapy!

It will vary by your protein intake and mineral intake. You probably should have done the test without fasting.

Yes see If a doctor will put you on Replacement therepy, NOW. It will cover your ass in many ways.

Hell, yeah go to the doc. Maybe you can get test prescribed.

Maybe I will go look into that. If I go to the doctor post cycle I am sure my test levels will be even lower. Maybe I should wait.

Also the nurse told me I had to fast for 8 hours prior to the testosterone blood test, so I guess that means test fluctuates with food intake.


Would be nice to get some test in with my fina cycle though.

Do it before. The doctor might get upset that you are taking BIG BAD Steroids. Go ahead and get a script for it now.

just remember, they weigh you every time you go in. If you come in 30 lbs heavier than your previous visit and you happen to have LOW test, they are going to think something is up. I made the mistake of taking creatine before going in for my t count and she thought that my weight gain was from AS... she didnt' even believe me and I really am natural!
