Hello everyone, I'm a new member and I have alot of questions hopefully you guys can help me out. It's been about 6 years that I've had sysmtoms that lead me to believe that I'm low in test I did blood work my levels came low under 100 twice but the third time came out to 400 I'm 31 years old is that level normal???

[Mr.BB]

Hello and welcome!

Its not normal, but low test level at your age is a symptom of some underlying problem. Could be thyroid, or an array of other situations that should be diagnosed.

Can you post the blood work?

[Titus512]

Thank you for replying I'm trying to post a pic of my results but I can figure it out

[Titus512]

I did start t400 yesterday half a ml not sure if that was the way to go I just wasn't getting any help from the doctors I even saw a specialist twice and they just say I'm fine.

That will really not help, on the contrary, unless you want to do it for the rest of your life, even then you should first try to figure out whats happenning.

Here is a screen shot

Is this what you need?? They have checked everything and everything else comes out normal they said

[mxgregg]

I'm in my late 50's and my test level is 428 so yours seems quite low for your age.

[Mr.BB]

Is this what you need?? They have checked everything and everything else comes out normal they said

humm, no, wanted to see thyroid, prolactin, LH, FSH, etc if they got tested.

There are factors that can influence testosterone , this should be verified.

[Titus512]

Ok I'm gonna check my results right now

Actually I found a better picture

[ScotchGuard02]

The range of "normal" is huge. 240 - 871 ng/dl is a huge range. There is a variance of 360%. I like to be between 750 to 800 on TRT and much higher on cycle. For free T, I like to be in the 30 ng/dl range on TRT. Upper end is the better as far as I'm concerned.

[Titus512]

I'm thinking that's kind of what i Wana do in the 800's and go from there thank you for the feedback

[Mr.BB]

Actually I found a better picture

Thanks! thats better lol

Can you check if LH and FSH were lower in the previous blood works were you got really low testosterone values?

Do you smoke?

[Titus512]

Those are the only test they have done for LH and FSH. And no sir I do not drink or smoke or anything

[Titus512]

That's what I told the 2 specialist that I have seen and all they say is that I'm normal and they just tell me negative things about trt

[Mr.BB]

Asked about the smoking cause of the hematocrit and hemoglobin being a bit high, but still inside range.

Of course, it is much better not to need TRT, but spite its problems it sure beats being hypogonadal. This last blood work everything looks ok, but you should measure your symptoms. Much more important than a number is how you feel, if you have low T symptoms you should continue to push for being treated, of course treatment could be TRT or fixing some underlying condition causing the low T.
