[QUOTE="johndoesmith, post: 61465, member: 13404"] Hey man, I can understand why this is confusing. Unless these are calculated free testosterone results, which they don't appear to be, they seem to be a free testosterone assay(another word for "test"). Free testosterone assays can be somewhat unreliable, and can give odd results. Seeing as you had both SHBG and total test, I was able to calculate your free test, and it should make much more sense. pre TRT: 5.73 ng/dl Now: 10.5 ng/dl I usually use a range for this of 9-26, I don't know that it's necessarily correct, but it seems to work. If you add in some other information, it'd help to create more productive and helpful conversation. 1. When were these taken relative to injection? 2. Do you happen to have copies of the full results? Sometimes little details can be left off, and it'd be to your benefit to have everyone have these. 3. You seem to have a knowledgeable and progressive doctor, do you trust him/her? 4. Height, weight, symptoms, and ANY improvements you've seen. [/QUOTE]
