Need Help With IGF Lab Results

No. Picture a number line that goes from -2 to 2.

<----- -2 ----- -1 ----- 0 ----- 1 ----- 2 ----->
_________________________^
_________________________0.7 approx

0 is exactly in the middle, and a positive number, like 0.7, is on the slightly higher side of what you would expect to get in 95% of the population your age (so it will be excluding extreme outliers: people who have very high or very low results). So it is not a low result. 95% of the population will fall between the -2 and the 2, and at 0.7 you are on the slightly higher side of the middle of the 95%. This is hard to explain, so I hope you see what I mean.

I'm going to post this, and check to see if the number line comes out generally right, and if not, I will try to edit it.

Yeah, I'm very sorry to hear this. I don't recall whether they checked your thyroid and cortisol and other hormones that affect testosterone. Because I noticed (along with others) that your levels weren't super-low, and while it still might just be the test levels, when the levels aren't really low, it is usually worth checking to see if there are other co-factors that might be contributing the situation.

I know it's the VA, and they might not be as keen to do that as a private doc, but if I were you, that's information I would want to have.
