Low Test Before Cycle_Wait or Start?

[Marc81]

Got my BW done before the Cycle-

Highlights are:

Free Test 77 (range 35-155 pg/ml)
Total Test 362 (range 250-1000 ng/dl)
HDL Cholestrol 35 (> or = 40 mg/dL)
LDL Cholestrol 109 (<130 mg/dL)
Total Cholestrol 183 (125-200 mg/dL)
Triglyceride 197 (<150 mg/dL)

Everything else is the range. Is my lest low? My age is 32 years.

Should I start the cycle or wait?


Age : 32
Height: 5'9"
Weight 180 Lbs.
Training for 5 years

Basically yes, it's low. A more modern range is 348 - 1197 for total test.
Personally I'd want to know why it's low and fix it before I cycled. A cycle is just a temp fix.
Only BW will reveal why. Many things cause low T from thyroid to cortisol, prolactin, pathologies, trauma and the list goes on.

Thanks for the quick reply.

now the story here is - first that a$$hole doctor just ordered to check my free test. When I called in for my report & asked about Total Test, then he ordered for that Total test check. I got the total Test reported after 10 days of my blood sample. Not sure, whether they can keep the blood like this for 10 days & perform the test again.

& I am not feeling like low Test. Libido is high, Mood is up. Strength is up.

Thinking of going to another lab to cross check.

or Can I start the cycle & will check my Test after PCT. if It is low, then I will find ways to improve it.

Don't want to delay the cycle any more

Your call. Smart thing is to find the problem and fix it first. Not saying I don't "understand" but....
It's a cycle. Unless you're making money from this somehow I'd look after yourself first. Plenty of time to cycle.

I would leave your dr and search for a trt dr... just Google it they Will pop up.. I have had low t for about 2 years now well I think low. .. 412 but my reg dr says in the normal range however I have No sex drive always tired and very lethargic feeling. He perscribed me anxiety pills and thyroid pills. I have another BW panel coming up. . If it's still low and he won't help..I'm out. . So if I were you search for a trt dr

Try to convince your doctor or get a new doctor who is on the same page and will get you the tests you need. Try to get your estradiol, LH, FSH, dht, shgb, and thyroid all checked before diving into cycling. That way you have a baseline for those numbers and also You may find the source of your problem and be able to target it. Before making drastic decisions like injecting yourself with hormones get a baseline for you natural occuring levels so you can guage recovery. Also your HDL is going to drop even more on cycle.
