Hi, at the time I had this blood test, I had no energy, tired even after a nights sleep, no libido at all. My numbers were.
46 years old.
11.20am blood sample.
Test 14.1nmol/L
Free androgen index level 30.7 %
Oestradiol (serum) 145
SHBG 46nmol/L
Cortisol (serum) 295nmol/L
Are these out of whack?, because the endocrinologist said they are all ok.
I noticed on the paperwork that the Oestradiol top range was 146nmol/L, with this being relatively high and my test being on the low side, also my SHBG being on the higher scale, is it likely this being the cause of my symptoms?..he did note that my cortisol was on the lower end of the scale, but the scale he was working off was between 119nmol/L to 618nmol/L, I found this being a bit odd because it's almost bang in the middle and my T is on the low side, E2 high side, SHBG high side and he didn't mention that. I then went back to my GP to ask him about it, he said everything's normal and want to send me to a sexual DF clinic, i asked if he would be willing to carry on blood tests until i try to sort it out myself but he wasn't willing to do so. So iam left guessing, I've been taking 250mg test enth a week for the past 3 weeks, I have more energy but no libido and I think my E2 has shot up.
