Hi, you can get some background for my first 10 weeks of TRT here:
https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?15466-New-here
Just received 10 week test results and the following were out of reference range:
Urea nitrogen - 27 mg/dl
BUN/creatinine ratio - 28.7
Testosterone, free - 308.5 pg/ml
Testosterone, total - 1336 ng/dl
Tests included CBC, Comprehensive met. panel, etc. Estradiol is in reference range with a value of 38 pg/ml. Talked with Docs office and they are now questioning my initial results which had me <300 for total T and <3 free T. I had questioned these results earlier as well because they were so far below a test I had a couple years ago. If you read my intro at the link above, you will understand my surprise at these values as I really have not had any great physical response to the therapy....no real increase in energy, muscle mass etc. Don't get me wrong, libido is up and I'm no slouch in the weight room, but at those levels seems like I ought to feel like superman! In my somewhat limited research I have not seen free T values this high. Something to worry about? I meet Doc next week.
