[QUOTE="sreacher, post: 57184, member: 14612"] I was interested to see my testosterone values. I was expecting the T value to be fairly low for a number of reasons - fairly weak sex drive (no morning erections), very disappointing long term strength gains in the gym, and often feeling tired despite appearing to sleep well in the night. I only ran the simple tests for reasons of cost - I was hoping the results would be more normal and not really warrant any further investigation. I realize now this is a bad idea because the cost of a full set of hormone tests is only another 30-50 pounds. I'm not in London but I can get a test from medichecks for LH, FSH, SHBG, DHEA etc. Is the normal E2 test really that inaccurate for higher values of E2? I don't think I can get the sensitive test easily in the UK. If my measured value is not inaccurate, am I correct in thinking that it is potentially a serious problem? I am planning to tell my GP but I'm not sure the best way of presenting it to him. I don't think there is any medical guidance on the monitoring and treatment of high E2 or low T/E2 ratios in the absence of clear associated symptoms like gynecomastia, so he is quite likely to tell me that there is no problem to investigate.
