and if I stay up late, or drink the night before, would that affect my testostreone levels the next morning?

that's what i've heard...but no personal experience with that.....r u trying to get a false reading? i've never had to do that

Dont forget the dramatic drop you'd get in your test if you set the alarm and got up at 4 AM with only 4 hours sleep that morning... and then just before going to docs office go and rub one off in the bathroom as an orgasm has a way of plunging your testosterone levels for a few hours afterwards. But none of us would want to drop our test levels, oh like 50 points before getting tested for testosterone levels would we??? I mean if you are border line like usually anything below 300 testosterone generally qualifies you and you are testing out only 306. Only way you'd really find out if more testosterone would help u is to try taking more testosterone for a while and see. Watch out, it sometimes takes being on the shots or androgel at least a good 2 months to get results you are looking for so dont be impatient. The male body is slow to reacte to a moderate increase in testosterone.

there is no scientific evidence showing this. research and testing shows there is no change in testosterone levels of multiple different animals tested with control groups post ejaculation. Semen production and excretion has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with testosterone levels. Stop thinking that testosterone is what comes out of your penis because it doesn't. Here is one of many research experiments done to prove this. So argue your theories all you want, here is scientific experiment.

Plasma levels of testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH), and cortisol were measured in 10 adult male rhesus monkeys before and shortly after coitus. Mean levels of T and LH did not increase significantly after coitus or in control (no ejaculation) tests, but cortisol levels did in both cases. In 10 different males, no significant change was found in the plasma levels of T after electroejaculation; but in control tests (electric current withheld), the mean level of T was significantly lower at 80 and 140 min, but not at 50 min, after the test. According to present evidence, the effect of ejaculation on T levels differs in primate and nonprimate species. The effects on T levels produced by living with sexually receptive female rhesus monkeys may differ from those produced by intimate but brief contact with them.

well i just got my results from my uro, they are lower now. testosterone 284, free test, 11.7 LH miu/ml 3.2 . Just when i thaught this guy new what he was doing. He seemed stumped. So he is going to send me to a Endo. This is taking a lot of co pays and time. I think i am starting to believe i have low test. and am starting to look foward to the day I can get some test. And start feeling good again. Who knows when i can get into the endo, they made it sound like it was going to take awhile. Does anyone know what the 3.2 miu/ml means? Thanks for all the help. Also why would i have all symptoms of low test except my dick works fine? even morning wood?
