Just received Test Level Results...

[Pekkerwood]

Just got test level results back after cold turkey for 5 months with no PCT and being more or less constantly on for years (bridging, i.e. not coming off between cycles).

Free test levels are 11.8 pg/ml. Limits are 6.8-21.5. Wonder how this converts to ng/dl, the scale I am more famaliar with. My cardiologist is allowing HRT but this doc will not prescribe at my current level. I am going to schedule with my previous endo to get HRT prescription to up my levels a bit.

Well according to the numbers you are right in the middle which most doctors would say is normal! But this is free test. Not overall test. Your overall could be low and still have ok free test levels.

Didn't really know...

What test to ask for. I just asked doc to test testosterone levels. I am sure the endocrinologist/urologist will do more specific testing.

Yea that's floyd. he is a ham for the camera. I have both my mboys here at the gym with me daily.

Ask for a full blood work up of test levels, both free and general levels as in ng/dl. Also get estrogen levels checked. yes the endo will probably do this but it would be nice to know before hand.

i believe that converts to 340ng divide by 0.0347...

Thanks Phatkid

I thought that was it but wasn't sure. I would still like to get in "high" normal at least. I can't be dissappointed with the level of recovery, quitting cold turkey and being on between 500 and a gram a week for years.
