Here are my latest results (just got free & total T, etc):
[Please tell me what you think of these numbers, and what an 'ideal' number for each test might be. I'm 44, not on any HRT yet. - Thanks.]
Testosterone, Total: 144 (ref: 250-1100) ng/dL
Testosterone, Free: 37.6 (ref: 46.0-224.0) pg/L
Testosterone, Bioavailable: 77.4 (ref: 110.0-575.0) ng/L
SHBG: 10 (ref: 9-45) nmol/L
Estradiol < 32 (ref: 0-54) pg/mL
Estradiol S [Enahanced MA] 18 (ref: 10-40) pg/mL
HGH < 0.10 (ref: 0.0-10.0) ng/mL
IGF-1 8.4 (ref: 13-73) ng/mL
LH 3.0 (ref: 1.5-9.3) mIU/mL
FSH 4.3 (ref: 1.6-8.0) mIU/mL
Prolactin 4.6 ng/mL (ref: 2-10)
ACTH (a.m.) 10 (ref: 7-50) pg/mL
TSH (ultrasensitive) 1.90 (ref: 0.40 - 4.50 mIU/L)
Cortisol 8.4 (ref:4-22) mcg/dL
PSA, Total 0.7 (ref: 0-4) ng/mL
All of the above results were from a recent single blood draw appt. while fasting at 9:30 am.
I know they're somewhat pulsatile but it seems to me the HGH and IGF-1 lab results suggest a problem.
I'm not sure exactly what to make of the T, SHBG, and Estradiol results. Esp. the SHBG.
I am in excellent health - except for some depression, zero sex drive, and complete impotence. I think all of these are 100% directly related to the low T (and TSH and Cortisol) levels.
Summary of my thinking: T-shots, Armour (+ Lugols?), and Cortef to start off with? Shoud I consider adding hcg or hgh as well?
Thanks for any feedback!
