Testosterone scale

[Mikey1970]

Hi guys & gals, can anyone tell me what is the threshold on low T, when a doc/endo HAS to give you Trt

Well they don't HAVE to give you anything. The problem with the scale is it references males from all age groups. Why should your T level be measured against a 90 year old male. The short answer is it depends. It depends on how up to date a Dr is in HRT. Some docs will give you HRT if you are mid range 500+ and many won't help if you are at the bottom of the scale. What you need...well what we all need is a good DR that knows what they are doing and has a passion for helping men with low T or even medium levels of T. The best doctors want you to thrive, and that means getting you to feel good. For some that's mid range for others it's high on the scale.

Agree completely. A person is not a number on a chart. Saying that you are "within" range is among the dumbest things I've had several doctors say to me, even though I was in my early 30's at the time and at the very bottom end of the range (248 ng/dl).

In the US for insurance to pay it is usually about 350 ng/dL. Cash clinics can go a little higher if you have symptoms of hypogonadism

IMHO the range is bull I felt like crap and had ED issues when I was in the total T 360s "in range"
here is a chart but this is just an example

Thanks gents, much appreciated, can you tell me how do i convert 8.1 nmol/L to ng/dl ?

 

[bako]

1 nd/dl =28.818 nmol/L. calculators can be found online. search med units ng/dl to nmol/l

 

[bako]

You said in an earlier post you were 8.1 that's puts you at around 234 that's pretty low.

You're welcome mikey. I am new to this whole thing but I have learned a bunch from reading the threads here. Watch the videos as well. Unbelievable amount of information on these two alone.
