My Recent Blood Work..

**phatkid77** · 05-31-2007, 08:36 PM

to recap... im 30yrs old, suffer most symptoms...

i just had my GP receptionist photocopy my results....either she screwed up or some work is not back,??
also looks like we tested T levels again too?
outstanding (i hope).....DHT, FREE T3, FREE T4, FSH, ESTRONE...may be others i just remembered the last 2..

SHBG...........28nmol/L reference 10-70nmol/L

TOTAL TEST 13.8 reference 10-28nmol/L up from 11.5?

BIO TEST 7.34nmol/L reference 4-10nmol/L

ALBUMIN 45g/L reference 35-55g/L

LH 3.4 U/L reference <9 U/L

DHEAS 8.2umol/L reference 2.8-12.4umol/L

PROLACTIN 10.6ug/L reference 4-18ug/L

ESTRADOIL 78pmol/L reference <220pmol/L

TSH 2.12ug/L reference 0.25-5.0ug/L
not sure if estradiol is sensitive or not...how can we tell?

of interest, i dont remember writing cortisol down (i know blood is innacurate) but on all the sheets it says
"cortisol demonstrates significant diumal (diurnal?) variation?

CONVERTED TO CONVENTIONAL..
total test..... 397ng/dL
biot test........212ng
estadiol.........22.5pg/ml
tsh..............2.12ug/L
dheas..........2.36ng/ml??
albumin.......4.4g/dL
prolactin.....prolactin.....169.9µg/dL? 1µg/dL=0.04826nmol/l?

IF "EVERYTHING" looks normal...what the hell is wrong with me??

hopefully my FSH, free t3, and f4 is outstanding...

results look ok to me. test is ok, not really low.

pls always remember: the symptoms for low test are very unspecific and it could actually be anything! pls be open minded and don t force it on low test - for me it doesn t look as this would be ur problem...

Keep in mind that it does change from person to person. Some people feel fine with 300, others feel like crap at 500. It's not as simple as being in the normal range means you're ok. It's more your Test to Estradiol to Prolactin ratio's as well.

The normal group is made up of men from 20 to 100. Test levels drop every year after 30. So just because you are in the normal range doesn't mean everything is fine.

It very well could be something else. Make sure you finish up with your tests, and see what your doc has to say.

Some docs will prescribe Test with those #'s some wont. It seems to be a touchy subject with docs that don't really know what they are doing becuase of bodybuilding, and docs getting busted. If you get a doc that really knows what they are doing they will probably prescribe test at those levels as long as they think that is the reason.

thanks guys!!! yeah i feel aweful, likely stressing myself out over it....
but im ONLY 30 yrs old, and have been testing low 335ng since then...WHICH IS NOT OPTIMAL FOR MY AGE....hell, ive seen 45yrs old with a 450ng and the doctors saying "thats too low"

so how does my T:E ratio look anyway??
according to LEF.org, PROLACTIN should be under 5....IM 10.4..... EVEN tho ranges go up to 18ug/L

thanks again

i just re-read this thread... while the 397 isnt too low... it was 335-365 over the past 3 yrs.... and that is in the normal range, but being 30... i should be up around 8 or 900.....almost 2x low... that to me is significant...

regardles...got my script, and on my way to feeling better...

This might be a good read for you bro. Pretty much in the study they found morning wood kicked in around 400-500, >500 for sex, and >600 for libido to kick in. Obviously it changes from person to person, and free test, estradiol and other levels, but it just shows normal range doesn't mean shit.
