Alright, finally got the blood work back. I'd love to get your input/interpretation on the results. I first went to a doctor locally who claims to focus on hormones, however, the only thing they said to me was "You're way to young to even be having this discussion. If you were thirty, we could talk but at this age ... it is what is is. There is nothing to look at". Only thing I mentioned was I had been having symptoms commonly associated with low T and I wanted to get her feedback on the results I had gotten.
If y'all would prefer to open a new thread for this, just let me know.
Free T4 Index (T7): 3.2 (1.4-3.8)
T3 Reverse: 22 ng/dL (8-25)
T3 Uptake: 29 % (22-35)
T3 Total: 125 ng/mL (75-181)
T3 Free: 3.4 pg/mL (2.3-4.2)
T4 Total: 11.1 mcg/dL (2.5-12.0)
T4 Free: 1.5 ng/dL (0.8-1.8)
TSH: 2.09 mIU/L (0.40-4.50)
DHEA Sulfate: 264 mcg/dL (85-690)
Estradiol: 19 pg/mL (< or = 39)
Free Testosterone: 75.7 pg/mL (35.0-155.0)
FSH: 1.6 mIU/mL (1.6-8.0)
LH: 3.9 mIU/mL (1.5-9.3)
SHBG: 66 mol/L (10-50) *HIGH*
Testosterone Total*: 719 ng/dL (250-1100)
[if it matters, my albumin for every single prior test has been 4.6 g/dL]
*the total testosterone bumped back to the 700s. Could be due to eating way more calories, way more time in the sun, lifting again, sex the nights before, and being on vacation so no work stress. Wanted to note some of the changes made recently, some won't stick around obviously, but they'd explain the rise in TT
