Testosterone levels

[kaisersose]

I am followed by a rheumatologist for a rheumatoid positive arthritis, which is irrelevant, but recently had a testosterone level checked at my request. I was curious I guess more than anything but I had recently felt tired all the time and was dissatisfied with my sex drive so it made me wonder about my test levels (I am only 26). Results came back as 608 ng/dl (apparently 241 to 827 is the normal range). Just wanted to see if any of you knew what your levels run without the influence of supplements of any kind. I guess it is important to note that I was not on any kind of supplements nor had been in the past 2 years prior to this lab work. Any thoughts on my test level and is this any kind of indicator for high potential for good growth?
Thanks. Sorry for wordiness.

This level is fine. Low would be 200 or less. Look somewhere else if you have issues. You are young, why having so many issues? Anything else you suffer from? Seems odd

This is interesting, what would ones test levels be in say week 5 of a test-E cycle at 500mg a week?

way out of range

When checking testosterone levels, it is important to differentiate between free and bound testosterone. Only that test NOT bound to Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is free to stimulate receptors. Sometimes your overall test is normal (or even high) but bc it is bound up, you are still clinically hypogonadic. Proviron usually fixes this right up.

Your test levels are fine. Your "free test" may be low and that's what matters.
