How are my test levels now?

Did a test about a year ago and had low testosterone. About 8 in free T (ref range 9 - 30),
and 400 in total T (ref range 300 - 1000). Started on thyroid meds (Levothyroxine) and
did a new test now. It came back at 23.8 nmol/l (ref range: 7.6 - 31.4).

Is this total testosterone or free testosterone? The ref ranges are awfully similar to
the free testosterone ref ranges, but when using a "testosterone converter" it showed
that it would be the same as 686 ng/dl. So I'm guessing it's total testosterone then?

If it is, I still think it kinda sucks. Worth getting on TRT? My TSH is now at 1.76 (down
from about 5)...so maybe I should try to lower it even further first.

Sounds like TT. You should look on the sheet of paper they gave you. It will say there. Then you won't have to guess.

686 is a really good Natty T number -- above average. TRT should not be considered.

Thanks. It just says "Testosterone" on the test. They promised they were gonna test both total and free before the test, hence I was wondering.
Hard to get in touch with the doctor too.
