Well, first it appears your total is low based on what your giving us. Your Free T is not bad but we really need to see more complete BW to fully assess this. Odd range though. Vit D is normal? Give us the level and range. Just being within the range is not always a good thing. You want to be at the high end of the range for D, not the low end. D will increase your free T by lowering the binding by SHBG. Yours is probably already low. A full thyroid panel would be great as well, even though TSH looks good it is a weak indicator. In the Finding a Doc Sticky is an example of blood work. Post up anything else you have as well please.

Don't know if your estradiol test is a sensitive assay. If not it's not much use to you. DHEA doesn't appear bad but it's always better at the higher end of the scale. You can supplement with a micronized version. Read GD's sticky on DHEA/Pregnenolone.

Cortisol can and will suppress your testosterone levels. Elevated stress = elevated cortisol = lower test levels. Your bodies hormones all work together and when one thing is off it effects others. Inactivity leads to loss of muscle and if you add stress/cortisol to that equation it just makes it worse. So, lifestyle plays a part here. Exercise to decrease cortisol which will also improve T levels. Hydrate well also to keep everything working well.

Thanks kelkel for the answer.

Blood test says the free testosterone is normal 89.9..but when i convert this from pmol to pg/ml it is 25.9..The normal levels for free test is 50 to 120. Something is wrong here..

25-Hydroxy VITAMIN D: 103 nmol/L 75-250

Magnesium RBC: 2.05 mmol/L 1.70-2.70

Vitamin B12 866 pmol/L (high) 198-615 (i tested b12 5 months ago and it was only 398, so the supplement i took probably worked)

zinc serum 13 12-19 ( I will test for RBC zinc and copper...I know i have low zinc.)

I will do some other blood tests..SHBG and other minerals..

So the question is this...if I balance my cortisol..will my testosterone go high..or it is not very easy? I just don't have enough energy..too much stress on my body,, i feel exhausted..Those adrenal support supplements might not even work..My appetite is not great as well..This is one of the main cause..as well as weak digestion.
