Is this natural levels or on TRT? If on TRT what method and what dosage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi, if -I- had numbers like that I'd say I skipped last weeks shot! the only number you've got that looks even close to what -I-'d like is the " estrogen " . you're kinda sorta " in range " ... but LOW on virtually everything. I'd shoot for the TOP 10% of total T, free T, and bio T with shbg and estrogen (e2?) ranging low. ttyl > ok this took like 2 weeks to come back to me. but here are my results: > > Test Total - 452 (Ref : 250 -1100) > Test Free - 81.8 (Ref: 46 - 224) > Test Bio - 171.7 (Ref:110 - 575) > SHBG - 22 (Ref 7 -49) > Albumin - 4.6 (Ref 3.6 - 5.1) > Estrogen - 35.2 9(Ref : 40 - 115) > > what do you guys think? > > WS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest a retest. Levels can swing 200 to 400 points in hours. 450 is not usually treated with TRT. Do you have the units for your E2 test? Because the range is odd. Most of us seek to keep E2 in the 20 to 30 pg/ml. If yours is pg/ml you might fee a bit better and get a small T boost trying DIM Diindolylmethane to lower it a bit. > > >> >> >> Hi, >> >> if -I- had numbers like that I'd say I skipped last weeks shot! >> >> the only number you've got that looks even close to what -I-'d like is the " estrogen " . >> >> you're kinda sorta " in range " ... but LOW on virtually everything. >> >> I'd shoot for the TOP 10% of total T, free T, and bio T with shbg and estrogen (e2?) ranging low. >> >> ttyl >> >> >> > ok this took like 2 weeks to come back to me. but here are my results: >> > >> > Test Total - 452 (Ref : 250 -1100) >> > Test Free - 81.8 (Ref: 46 - 224) >> > Test Bio - 171.7 (Ref:110 - 575) >> > SHBG - 22 (Ref 7 -49) >> > Albumin - 4.6 (Ref 3.6 - 5.1) >> > Estrogen - 35.2 9(Ref : 40 - 115) >> > >> > what do you guys think? >> > >> > WS >> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 yes the " Total Estrogen " was 35.2 pg/mL. the T levels were similar when i was tested back in 2007..it wasnt low enough to be classified as abnormal. are there other ways to get the T levels up if TRT is not a good idea? thank you.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 My mistake- I did not notice you said the test was for total estrogens, as opposed to primarily estradiol. The Life Extension Foundation's Updated Protocol for Blood Testing (http://www.lef.org/protocols/appendix/blood_testing_03.htm ) indicates the optimal range for total estrogens is between 40-77 pg/mL for men, which puts you low, as you suspected. I'm not sure of the significance of total estrogen blood tests, as my doctor, Dr. Romeo no, prefers the estradiol test (which also includes slight amounts of other estrogens, but is weighted toward estradiol) over total estrogens test. As retrogrouch wrote, retest including estradiol, not total estrogens, might be helpful to see where you generally stand. Maybe you noted in another message, but *How much exercise do you do? *what does your diet consist of? *what's your physical condition- overweight, underweight, etc.? Knowing this info might help to optimize your levels. ~Xian > > yes the " Total Estrogen " was 35.2 pg/mL. > > the T levels were similar when i was tested back in 2007..it wasnt low enough to be classified as abnormal. > > are there other ways to get the T levels up if TRT is not a good idea? > > thank you. > > WS > > > >> > ok this took like 2 weeks to come back to me. but here are my results: > > >> > > > >> > Test Total - 452 (Ref : 250 -1100) > > >> > Test Free - 81.8 (Ref: 46 - 224) > > >> > Test Bio - 171.7 (Ref:110 - 575) > > >> > SHBG - 22 (Ref 7 -49) > > >> > Albumin - 4.6 (Ref 3.6 - 5.1) > > >> > Estrogen - 35.2 9(Ref : 40 - 115) > > >> > > > >> > what do you guys think? > > >> > > > >> > WS > > >> > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
