Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Why do all docs go on and on about how important it is to have a high Free Testosterone Index? Ok so my S-Testosterone was never higher than mid-range. But my Ibdex was always in the very top of the range. Meaning my SHBG was always at a perfect level to divide with the S-Testosterone level! I always felt great with my high Free Testosterone Index, and my mid-range S-Testosterone. Now that I am on all these hormones, I feel like CRAP, my face is ROUND (fat/bloated), my penis doesn't work that well, and... I just hate my life! So what's the deal with the Free Testosterone Index? Why did I feel awesoem three years ago and longer back with mid-range S-Testosterone and a top og the range Free Teatosterone Index, but I feel like SHIT now? Ok so I was neve super-muscular and always wondered why. But I did look perfectly toned a few years back, and by god I swear, my penis was on fire every day! (Soldier, stand up!!!) What's going on with my life????? - Having a bad feeling he doesn't need any hormone replacements.. (I could be wrong, og course!)

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Every one is different. The big difference is in how much SHBG you have. It binds Testosterone and makes it unavailable. Sooo, i go by the Life Extension Foundation recommendation that FREE TESTOSTERONE should be 25 on the LabCorp scale. This means that your Total Testosterone could be mid-range and you will still be OK. > > Why do all docs go on and on about how important it is to have a high Free Testosterone Index? > > Ok so my S-Testosterone was never higher than mid-range.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Free T is the T that is working Total or S T with low Free T your not going to feel good. Estradiol when high will make SHBG go high and this binds up T.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 S- testosterone appears to be Serum Testosterone which I think is equivalent to total Testosterone. In Norway this is measured in nmol/l. To convert to the US LabCorp measure you need to find the number of nanograms per mole of testosterone.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Du you mean " I cant say. If you levels are low it will shorten your life " OR " I cant say IF your levels are low it will shorten your life " ? The comma/dot there can mean a lil difference!
