Dang, you're totally right. I was doing the math as if it was 2.0-3.4 instead of 4.4. Wow, I think I had that in my mind when the Dr first told me I had low T3. I feel dumb now. Thanks for pointing that out.
Ive read it should be in the top 50-75% of the range. If that's the case I should be at...
Thanks for the input. My T3 and T4 levels came back in the top 50% of the reference range, which is good according to that article you posted. My TSH came back twice at 1.65 and 1.69 with goal being <2.0 also according to that article. I don’t have a reverse T3/T4 test though. I will add those...
In case anyone is still interested in my thread, I had my consultation with Defy this morning. It went as expected and honestly I seemed to know most of what he was explaining already when we went through my blood tests. I attribute that to all I’ve learned on this forum and a couple other...
Pubertal gyno(not too bad). Through my 20s I always thought it was extremely difficult to gain strength and stay not fat. I was pretty religious with a solid(not perfect) diet and lifting at least 4x a week in my mid 20s. At my best I was around 210 12-14% BF. Seasonal depression especially 24...
I don’t inject and not on a protocol. I got bloods taken after experiencing low t symptoms the last few years. I have low free T and high(?) estradiol/sbhg
What about trying a low dose AI to lower estradiol a bit and see if it frees up available T and improves how I feel? I cant find concrete data on doing that though.
So you're saying I just have to accept my low free t level? That's a bummer. Im glad I don't have to do TRT, I just thought there would be a solution to lower my estrogen/sbhg to raise my free t.

Not sure where to go from here. I am glad my total isn't crazy low, but it appears all my free is getting eaten up by SHBG and? Estradiol. How do I lower these to free up my free...
Thanks guys. Correct, I am not on T. When I take my test I will do it around 7am and make sure to not eat after dinner the previous night. Thanks for the help. I’m hoping I don’t have high SBHG and a liver problem.
Thanks for the replies. Looks like I should do the Pre- TRT MALE Hormone / Wellness Panel.
Any other tips for test taking? Do it around 8am right? Maybe skip breakfast or is there a reason to fast the night before as well? Test is kind of expensive, want to make sure I do it as accurately as...
Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and learning about hormones in general. Seeking advise with further blood tests. I will try to keep it somewhat short while giving an overall history of myself. I currently have no health insurance, which led me to research more on my own. May be a blessing in...
