blood work of a 18 yr old , feedback please ? ( low-T)

[Finch7]

5'8,147 lbs,18 year old 13% bf.

got tested at ~ 9 am.

total test: 296 ng/dL lab range (241-827)

free test: 7.05 ng/dL lab range (3,4-24,6)

TSH: 0.97 uUI/mL lab range (0,5-5)

T4: 7,4 ug/dL (5,1-13,5)

SHBG:23.1 nmol/L (13-71)

all results are within the lab ranges,but i just turned 18 so isn't it too low? also ive seen that many sources claim that total test <300 is already considered low.

by the way i lift regularly but im not having great gains,and i also have others low T symptoms. what do you guys suggest?

[kelkel]

Post up more BW if you have it. That level is low and not normal for someone your age. It needs to be investigated by an astute doctor to find the cause, not just treated without finding out why. Do you have a history of aas or prohormone usage?

Absolutely needs to be diagnosed by a Physician that is trained correctly as noted by kel.

You have serum levels of a 90 year old.

At your age you need peak serum levels as you are still maturing and this could have a negative impact on your development.

We need to see all BW complete with ranges...that said, you still need to find a Doc to diagnose you.

You could have testicular disorders to tumors...

Do some research on this via Google.

This is NOT age related.

Go into the sticky at the top of the form titled Finding a TRT Doc and in it you will see the blood work you need.

Did you get:

LH
FSH
Prolactin
TSH
T4
T3

on you last BW?

Really need to see these...
