Was hoping to get some opinions here. I just got some test results back last week. Total test 635ng/dl reference range 240-950 Free Test 13.4 ng/dl reference range 4.26-16.4 Bio available Test 53ng/dl reference range 61-210 All other blood and health markers are good. As you can see, I…

I had to do a “Triple check” on those reports. I was looking for FT numbers as well. I don’t know why they wouldn’t have included that. Considering the fact that the first tests were taken in mid Sept. and I’ve been lean bulking ever since. I thought the numbers may have improved some. I just sent …

[image] Friscokid: My Estradiol total was “21” normal ranges are supposed to be 27-52 pg/ml Anyone have any thoughts on this? Testosterone converts to estrogen via aromatase, which is where you get the majority of your estrogen. If you’re suboptimal on Free T levels, it’s not uncommon to se…

I’d be interested to know how your free test was measured. Often it is done with calculations, sometimes the lab will use Direct, but the most accurate method is Equilibrium Dialysis. FT is the best measurement to go by, when combined with Low T symptoms. FWIW, your levels are better than mine wer…

Ya, not sure how they came up with that number. I just ran the numbers through an online calc and it came out wonky. Also, my Estradiol total was “21” normal ranges are supposed to be 27-52 pg/ml. I can’t make much sense out of it.

Well? My endo appointment finally came and went. He said my test and estrogen was low and started me on TRT. I’m supposed to Inject 50 mg of Test Cyp. (1/2 mL) intramuscularly ONCE A WEEK as instructed. Seems dreadfully low but i guess we’ll see what happens. I have a follow up with him in 3 months…

Can you not go to a men’s clinic? TRT by Endo is almost always poorly prescribed. I think @BrickHead get good treatment by an Endo but that seems rare.

Here’s the latest and hopefully last round of test results before my Endo. appointment on Fri. Total test and free test look like they are falling Estradiol and Bioavailable are still low. Curious as to what’s going to happen with the Doctor.
