total testosterone

Like the title says. I know this is kind of a person specific and subjective question: For a sense of wellbeing, does Total Testosterone need to be high alongside a high Free T? Or would a normal Total T and high Free T yield similar results? Basically, I'm wondering if Total testosterone...

My doc usually uses Quest and I get my own tests through Quest and DiscountLabs, but my doc recently tried LabCorp because he said they gave him a better deal on a wider variety of tests. Half my results aren’t there and say things like ‘unable to calculate result since non-numeric result...

Hi, I went to a clinic and after my first blood test with a total T of 1116 and a very high SHGB, I started taking 50MG of Danazol every other day and Liothyronine/Levothyroxine 4.5MCG/19MCG daily, as well as Ipamorelin peptides. After 2 months I got tested again and my total T dropped in half...

Has anyone ever noticed a significant decline in Total T, but Free T, SHBG and E2 remain the same between blood draws and if so, what was the cause? I know Free T is the metric to be more concerned about, but I am curious as to potential reason for this. Total T dropped from 743 to 401 Free T...

Just wondering if anyone has added nandrolone to their protocol and seen their total T go up a considerable amount

I think I might have found out why I wasn't feeling so good on TRT all these past years... I wasn't optimizing my Total T.. I was focusing too much on my free T which was always in the top 90% or higher of the free range which is great but my Total T was in the bottom Labcorp range (mid...

As the title says, I've had 4 testosterone tests since August: 372 - 8am, fasting (traditional Dr's office lab) range is: 280-800 282 - 9am, not fasting (TRT clinic) range is: 201-993 220 - 9am, not fasting (TRT clinic) range is: 201-993 542 - 7am, fasting (different Dr's office lab from first...

I have had total T levels of 500, 1000 and 1500 at different times on TRT. My free T has ranged over a similar range. I have never seen it discussed, but do you get more muscle growth with each level of higher total T assuming of that if you double total T you also double free T. Double is...

Gents, A while ago, when first researching my low T problem, I stumbled upon a blog entry from a clinic local to me that has alway stuck in my mind. In the wonderful world of n=1 this rule, as it transpires, does actually apply to me. I’m running 30mg per day that puts me at the upper end of TT...

So I got my lab results today Free T-17.7 TT-797 E2-35 (roche test) SHGB 36.1 PSA-.9 I have been having some libido issues along with a little bit of mood issues. 3 weeks ago I was great. Now, kind of in the middle. Having difficulty getting erections and maintaining. Sex drive is pretty low...

What to you guys think is within healthy range. Would it be healthy to be having total T at 2000 or even 2500. If one feels better in that range.

Hi everyone, This is my first time posting but I've been poking around for a few months--I'm about to have my first consult with Defy medical and so I've been trying to educate myself on what is obviously a large decision with lifetime implications (hopefully mostly good!) Anyhow, I'm sure...

My total testosterone is 886 ng/dl (900 is the top of the ref range), shbg = 67.67 nmol/l ( 18,30-54,10), albumin = 5.3 g/dL; I also tested my free testosterone and the lab result was 12.0 ng/l (8,30-40,10). If I convert it to ng/dl, that will be 1.2 ng/dl. This means that my FT/TT = 0.14%...

For those of you who switched to sub q, what has been the impact to your Total T, Free T, Estradiol and DHT ? Thanks !!!
