[QUOTE="UnsureNewbie, post: 95409, member: 15461"] Hey guys, it's me again. Latest bloods revealed these results: Testosterone 5.43 (1.65- 7.53) Prolactin 8.5 (2.1 - 17.7) Free testosterone 12.18 (3.84- 34.17) last bloods had my free testosterone at 16 (3.84-34.17) , total testosterone 550. So essentially, my total testosterone levels always seem to be between 550-600. I have taken 3 free testosterone tests over the last 4 months. One came back low , the other two came back at slight below the midrange. Could low T still explain my problems or should I be looking elsewhere? BTW guys, for 1 year my prolactin was slightly but constantly elevated (I think it was elevated in 9/10 blood tests. It was usually somewhere around 20-25. The last 3 tests (since ditching Minoxidil foam) all came back well below the higher end of the range at 5,8 and 10. I cannot really imagine Minoxidil foam increasing prolactin by itself but I will probably start applying it and retaking bloods in 2-3 weeks to see if it can indeed influence prolactin levels. BTW , overall I'm kinda bummed. I was actually thinking low T is definitely a the origin of my symptoms and was looking forward to TRT. Not sure what to do now. [/QUOTE]
