Why Is My Testosterone High?

@Andrewgen_Receptors

Is it normal for calculated vs tested fT to be this far off? Calculated shows I’d be at 7.94, which would be below range - but tested shows 21.2.

@Andrewgen_Receptors

One is below range, and the other is just under the high-bar of 26.5 ug/dL.

You have to put in the work if you want proficiency. Otherwise misinformation just continues to get propagated.

Confused by American Standard Unit for Free Test

The number they typically mention in a good Free T level is 30 and above. My Free Test is 529 pmol/L. Is it ng/dL or ng/mL or other variations of ng or pg/mLthat I see and typically referenced? LOL Component Your Value Standard Range Flag Testosterone Free Calculated 529 pmol/L 163 - 473 pmol/L H SHBG 24 nmol/L 21 - 77 nmol/L Testosterone Total 20.7 nmol/L 6.7 - 25.7 nmol/L

Learn this stuff (below) if you are going on TRT/TOT and don’t want to be perpetually in the dark. You may learn it and then not decide to go on. Either way you should understand the fT situation and be able to convert and compare the various fT assay results. Think of this as free Testosterone 101. Not many understand it properly. Also I recommend never throwing out a number without a unit(s) behind it and understanding what type of assay the number and unit(s) come from.
