[QUOTE="madman, post: 186812, member: 13851"] Hard to believe not one person asked what testing method was used for FT! Although high SHBG will lower FT it comes down to your TT/SHBG level and regardless if you want to know where your FT truly sits than you would need to use the most accurate assay such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best). If you did not have such a test done than I would not be so quick to jump the gun thinking that your FT levels are as low as you may think. If anything retest using an accurate assay than you can see where it truly sits. Make sure you are in a fasted state and have blood work done between 8-10 am. Post your labs with reference ranges so we can see what testing method was used for FT? Choose one of the four below: 1 or 2 would be the most cost-effective [B]Discountedlabs.com [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]1[/COLOR] TT [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](LC/MS-MS)[/COLOR] and FT [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](Equilibrium Dialysis)[/COLOR][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.discountedlabs.com/hematocrit-total-and-free-testosterone-1500-ng-dl[/URL] [B][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]2[/COLOR] FT [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](Equilibrium Ultrafiltration)[/COLOR][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.discountedlabs.com/testosterone-free-dialysis-and-total-ls-ms-ms[/URL] [B]Labcorp [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]3[/COLOR] FT [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](Equilibrium Dialysis)[/COLOR][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.labcorp.com/tests/500726/testosterone-free-mass-spectrometry-equilibrium-dialysis-endocrine-sciences[/URL] [B][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]4[/COLOR] FT [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](Equilibrium Ultrafiltration)[/COLOR][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.labcorp.com/tests/500726/testosterone-free-mass-spectrometry-equilibrium-dialysis-endocrine-sciences[/URL] [/QUOTE]
