Can my Testosterone be too High?

@wig surf: A normal range is around 0.3-0.6%. Your measurements above give 0.22%.

Not trying to nitpick, but everything is off by a decimal point. 32/1442 = .022 or 2.2%.

This is not accurate. Total test should be 14-20 times higher then your estrogen.

I made a slight correction to the math. I did not say anything regarding what a preferable ratio is.

Yeah my reply was for the other guy. Wrong person.

The other gentleman mentioned the free testosterone to estrogen ratio mattered more than total as SHBG has a substantial effect on free values and buffers estrogen.

Do you know what that ratio is?

No, it is correct as I wrote it. You must calculate the ratio using the same units. If you don't then your answer is 10 times too big (1 ng/dL = 10 pg/mL).

Some guys do prefer to talk about the T/E2 ratio in mismatched U.S. units. Then you can invert the E2/T ratios I'm referring to and multiply by 10. So 0.3-0.6% becomes 17-33.
