I have 0.28 nmo/l total testosterone and i had zero libido . I used testosterone gel to see and after two days my libido came back .

I'm with you Steve, it's important to look at symptoms not just numbers Next is looking at the free Testosterone which is available for our body to utilize. So true to have a good lab, I agree we need trustworthy lab companies, not all are the same.

I started topical testosterone 10 days ago. I already fell better. No testosterone blood test, just symptoms.

I've been begging my provider to prescribe Testosterone to me. After all of my research, I'm aware of the benefits of Testosterone and how this hormone can take my menopausal experience to a better, balanced place.
But because my Free Testosterone blood work came back at 4.2 within the rage of 4-50, she's concerned that prescribing it to me would put her on some kind of radar police and could jeopardize her credibility.
And so ... I'm being asked to stay on Estradiol and Progesterone solely for another month and then she wants to do another round of blood work.
I'm not interested in finding another provider. Mine is compassionate and understanding and ... a little guarded.
I would simply like to experiment with Testosterone and be able to take responsibility for that. I wouldn't even mind signing a waver if I have to. Sheesh!!!

Been on hrt for two years post menapause, had low testosterone, given compounded testosterone, after 4 months on testosterone, retested, barely raised testosterone and started having bleeds every month for 5 days like, exactly like periods.

Was taken off testosterone as doc felt the testosterone was pretty much just converting to estrogen adding to what I’m already taking with estradiol patch, also on 200 prometrium. What in the world!?

[leenmarier]

What can you do if you have superhigh shbg levels? As it affects free estradiol as well.

[robertthrailkill]

As a physician this is an excellent presentation and factually correct. I use Access Lab for my patients due to fast turnaround time.

[Rose-hwdm]

Thank you for the Uber explanation. I get it now .

Is there a normal free testosterone range that is common for women? I can't remember my wife's total testosterone, but her free test is 1.7 ng/dl. She's 36 years old. It was on the low end of the range on the paper, almost out of the range. She hasn't had a sex drive for years and we are trying to figure it out. Didn't know if this was the culprit.

... insurance companies care about the numbers.
Maybe if you say "levels" in the description, you should mention the average parameters. Thank you.

[getherWeAreWAND]

Not really too helpful, I gave you a like anyway. More of a commercial than information. I have my levels and blood work results from LabCorp. I wanted to know if my levels were low or not.

[meganjane]

How common is it for super high testosterone without PCOS and with LOW testosterone symptoms? Free was 87(yes, 87ng on a range of 2-45 lol) and total was 8.9pg with the range going up to 6. I do have low cortisol symptoms but on an 8 month wait list for doctor😮‍💨 so hard to find info on very high levels in women!

[veronicafravola]

I'm a women trying to conceive and my test total: 50 and free is 1.5

[bethbilous]

I have been on BHRT since October last year. I felt incredible usuing compounded cream E and T and p orally. Now in May, my blood work came back with lower freeT and Lower E. What the heck could have happened other than I had a bad cold in April. This round doc did not test for SHGH

[dotjeff]

My doctor ordered a hormone saliva test for me. Would that give only the free testosterone number?

[brendabenitez]

Does it cause fertility problems ? My testosterone was <2.5, my free testosterone level wasnt calculated, SHBG 113. I’m 38 ttc. What are the symptoms. My libido is good not low

[seven]

If my free T is 26, but I have 0 muscle, sex drive, or energy, what do I do? I think my thyroid meds are too high btw. tsh 0.01 and massive insomnia. E is 69 and P is 88
