Is this low for 25 years old?

I recently got my test levels checked. I was 337 and my free test was 60.7

They say normal is 250-1100... my doctor and I had guessed I would be anywhere between 700-800. Although 337 is in the "normal range" it seems pretty low for only being 25..
 
I'm 52 and my test is 552 and free is 49 so for you being 1/2 my age 337 might be on the low side
for you but did you ask your Dr. what his thoughts were about your numbers.?
 
337 is very low for a 25 year old. You need to find a dr that is well versed in hormones and see if there’s something you can do to get your test up without going on TRT. You don’t want TRT especially at 25 if you can find a way to kickstart your natural production.

agreed, id try to some new stuff like deep sleep for eight hours among other things, then retest
 
Are you overweight? Any chance of sleep apnea? Do you have any symptoms that triggered the testosterone bloodwork?

What time of the day did you get tested?

Are you dieting? Working out? Under any unusual stress? Taking any supplements or drugs (list them?)?

What other bloodwork has been done? Did you get thyroid function tested?

My feeling is that doctors will ignore this because it is "in range" - unless you get a specialist or a really good doctor who may dig in more and investigate.

Ultimately this is one test and you may get tested again in 3 months and be at 600 without changing anything. I recently saw some research suggesting testosterone levels fall in the early spring as well.
 
To add to @HIT4ME : What is the range given for the Free T. Free T is what matters and if you have lower SHBG your Free T can easily be mid-range even with total T in the lower end.

Also you mentioned you and your doctor guessed Free T would be at 700-800 - this must have been based on you already feeling great and having the stereotypical aspects of High T - so if so then you dont need T as your body is fine where you are.

You should only worry if you have symptoms - otherwise it is just a number
