Yes if your gels spikes up your labs your Free's will be higher the are

Sorry, I don't get it, Phil. Are you saying that the labs use the total t

reading (in part) to arrive at the free t level? I thought it was a totally

different reading. 

 

My Dr.'s office told me yesterday that they were pretty confident my recent labs

were reliable because both the Serum T and the free T. were comparatively high.

But you're saying they pretty much would have to be?

I had a link for T-Nation that explained all about how Testosterone works in

your body. Total T is all the Testosterone in your blood. Free T is 1 to 2% of

your total and Bio. T is I think what is what is avlble. So how could these

tests be different if your Total is low and your Free is high your still to low.

So look at it this way say your total is 800 and your free is 1% of that you

have a good high level. Now if your Total is 200 1% of that is lower much

lower.

OK, but what I'm asking is this. I had a very high lab result for total T.

(something like 1150). I'm a somewhat skeptical of this result because it's a

huge jump up from the last time I was tested, but my dr.'s office is saying it's

probably accurate because the free T result was also very high. Is that a proper

conclusion to draw?

What do you do for TRT if your on gels and put the gel on then do a morning

blood test your levels are going to be high like this for both. If your on

shots and don't do your labs the morning of your next shot but before it yes

they both can come back high. I have even seen lab error for both my Dr. never

changes my meds on one lab he will have me back to redo them.
