[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 209458, member: 38109"] How do you feel at this level? It's a little hard to tell what's going on without an accurate free testosterone measurement. That LabCorp direct test is useless. Do you have any idea what your SHBG is? If you had normal SHBG, around 30 nMol/L, then your total testosterone would be adequate. But higher SHBG would imply low free testosterone. The elevated LH and FSH hint at the possibility of testicular insufficiency, aka primary hypogonadism; your brain wants more testosterone but the testicles just can't do it. This could be confirmed with an hCG stimulation test. Aside from SHBG, it would be useful to know levels of estradiol, prolactin, vitamin D, thyroid hormones, etc. [/QUOTE]
