Test level question

**Camzilla** · 02-22-2012, 10:57 PM

I had a guy come in last week with a complaint of "low T". I pulled the lab queue and ordered "testosterone, free, male", along with a thyroid panel. While in there I ordered my own as well. He had the work done and I got his results back today. The reference ranges were 8.2-25.7.
This is a different range of numbers than what I have seen on Lab work from posts. Is it just that labcorp publishes their results in a different format, or is there a more specific test that I could've ordered. There were probably 10 different testosterone tests available, I just figured "free, male" was likely the right one. His came back at 10.2, so I wrote him a referral to endo. Interested to see what my numbers are. Any thoughts?

You can find a blood test online and send it away to a lab. I think they are around 100$, I have never done one, but I have heard of members on BOP talking about them.

I had mine tested before I started this cycle. To my surprise I was a bit above 700!!!

Those are your free test levels, the actual levels are what you are looking for. In a normal male it should range between 200-800ng/dl, depending on ur age say youre in your mid 30's about 400 is average. Im on the other end of the spectrum, didnt do pct when I first started, and fucked up my natty production for life, my last test was a year ago, 102ng/dl...OUCH!!! My doc is good to me, and gives me a 300mg a week dose, by prescribing depo test(cyp) 10mls, and enanthate the 5mls..all 200mg/ml...there is no such thing as an american made 250mg test e, thats all european or made by compound labs, or our sponsors here

you're looking at 'Free Test' there's also a panel for "Total Test" and that's the big numbers that are usually posted bro

but free test is also helpful
