Hello guys. I am 22 years old and I am on 100mg of testosterone weekly. I had blood work done 6 week after starting treatment (February 26), and I got this: (The conversion to known units is in bold).
Free Testosterone: 7.85 ng/Dl [this lab's range is 3.17 - 19.04] 0.272 nmol/L
Total Testosterone: 4.00 ng/mL [this lab's range is 2.45 - 16.00] 399 ng/Dl
FSH: 3.60 mIU/mL [this lab's range is 1.13 - 12.51]
LH: 4.60 mIU/mL [this lab's range is 1.24 - 8.62]
Estradiol: 25.00 pg/mL [< 43]
I thought that my FSH and LH should be suppressed by this time. My doctor did not know the reason they weren't. I said I felt fine after injection, but 2-3 days before the next injection I was not so good. I asked about increasing the dose and he said we would wait a little more.
Then on April 9 I got another lab done for the testosterone.
Free Testosterone: 13.02 ng/dL [this lab's range is 3.17 - 19.04] 0.451 nmol/L
Total Testosterone: 7.54 ng/mL [this lab's range is 2.45 - 16.00] 753 ng/dL
I feel a lot better now.. I just don't understand why it changed so much since I am still using the same testosterone vial and kept the same dose. Any light on the issue? Are this levels good for a 22 years old? (they seem good to me haha).
My erections and libido are a lot better now, and that was the main issue. And I understand that it may take a few months to be a 100% again, so I will be patient.
