Wow, great, I appreciate having the extra feedback!
Sorry to hear about your ER visits, Apollon.
Can I ask, is there some other malfunction that I should check that would cause total test to be low-normal but bio-available to be low? Is that evidence of anything in particular that I can try...
Ok. But surely there are some other helpful alternatives? I am ok if TRT is not the answer but I do want to explore my alternatives if that is the case. It's going to be a pretty bad year or two ahead of me at my current rate.
Also, any idea why my total test is low-normal but bio-available...
Yes. They had to send out the Bio-available and RIA E2 so it took longer to get the results but the blood was taken at the same time as the other tests.
Got results in for the two remaining tests:
ESTRADIOL (RIA) 15.90 pg/mL (Men: 15.00~71.00)
Testosterone Bioavailable 0.61 ng/mL (0.80~3.20)
Any thoughts that this adds to the original labwork?
You were on target about the E2 reading 10-20 points lower. So my E2 is at the low range of...
Yeah, I was kind of afraid that was going to be the advice. I guess I was hoping that there would be some sense of "Ok, you are not LOW test but you aren't optimal and who wants to be low-average?" but I do understand that it's difficult to recover for many people and I appreciate all frank...
New to all of this but been doing research. I am in the Philippines so I don't have access to the same doctors, labs or materials I would have in the US. I will be self-administering anything I do, though I do have access to labs, as described below.
Background: Been feeling listless, low...
