    thanks,

    it looks like the doctor picked and chose the test and it seems to be summarized as a "Free and Total Testosterone Lab"

    what are the expected and desired: normal and elevated ranges for the results of these tests?

    Does anyone have a sample example result sheet from and free and total testosterone test? whats it look like?

    It'll just give you your value and the ranges next to it...

    Normal differs from person to person... But if your talking about levels while on then you want your test at least about 5x higher than the highest part of range...

    Not sure... My test is dosed higher(prop/NPP)....

    From other bloods I've ran 500mgs of prop w/6x higher than 1200(7800 ng/dl) others that are higher(& I've bumped prop up from last cycle though - nothing much higher(no need, yet)

    Looks like your test is Underdosed... But your free t is better(almost 4x the range) but 2371 ng/dl seems low to me... Why didn't you get your CBC or E2 checked??

    suppose one runs test cyp once weekly, how much will the levels vary from Monday till Sunday?

    Just curious of course, currently im just trying out the refrigerated dill pickle relish natural test booster method.

    ....what do those 3 numbers mean exactly?

    The half life of test C is approx 8 days so after 7 days your testosterone level should be around 55% lower then at day 1.
