I don't recall the exact number....but is was just above the low end of the scale. Still in the normal range, but if you complain of symptoms, they tend to overlook the actual numbers.
Here is old T levels:
Free Testosterone 19.6. Ref range 19.0-94 PMOL/L
Total Testosterone 7.4 . Ref range 6.0-30 PMOL/L.
Here is new T levels, 1 day after 3rd shot
Free Testosterone 79.6 Ref range 19-94 PMOL/L
Total Testostereone 24.3. Ref range 6.0-30 PMOL/L
I think PMOL/L as a measurement is used more in Canada than the U.S.
Free Testosterone 19.6. Ref range 19.0-94 PMOL/L
Total Testosterone 7.4 . Ref range 6.0-30 PMOL/L.

it depends on your doctor. i was 260. that is a normal number but in the low end. im also 40. i complained to the doctor about being tired and lack of libdo. i also told him taht my strength was dropping off. i am now getting Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). however i dont get it all year. he cycles me twice a year on test e. 250 a week for 12 weeks.. anyways he treats you based on your symtoms like stonecold said. good luck

Re: hrt
That has to be one hell of a hormone roller coaster ride. Do you not feel like total shit for the 12 weeks you are off? I have never heard of this what is the Doc's theory behind the "cycling". After the 12 weeks I would have to believe your natural test would be much less than the 260 you started at. What level does 250mg per week put you at?

Yeah, going off like that makes no sense. Your doc should at least give you HCG for that time off.
SC is right. It's a judgement call, but some docs are more liberal than others.
Mine was 290 at age 47. Now (just turned 50 on Monday) with 100mgs every 5 days, I keep a steady 900ngs which is perfect. Higher isn't necessarily better.

hardpr,
HRT is meant to be on all year. If not then its not Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) its a steroid cycle. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is also not just Test, but also E control, and HCG for testicle support. PM me if you want more information to pass on to your doc.

Re: hrt
That is something I really don't understand.
How can your doc call Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) something that's just cycling.
When you finish your 12 weeks you're totally shut down, bro!
I really would like to understand what's the logic behind that 12 week HRT
Sorry, bro, this is not to criticize you; this is for your doc!

Hey guys, my doctor is considering starting me on HRT. I am 33, with an "average" T-level of 300. I have low energy, low libido and am sick of it.
Anyway, my concern is fertility. I do eventually want to have a family and do not want to impair this. Will cycling the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or using Clomid or HCG every once in a while help prevent this?
I have had a difficult time getting a decent answer on this. Particularly if Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a "lifelong" decision.
Also, I am meeting my Doctor in a few weeks, is there anything particular I should discuss with him. I think the discussion is likely going to be Gel v. shots. Part of me would rather have shots every two weeks than rubbing gunk everyday.
