weird results, do i have low test?

[m333llow]

hi guys been lurking the forum for years now , im still 24 and never jumped into my first cycle yet been waiting for the right time and the right natural goal i want to achieve first.
anyway few weeks agoo i went to a gp to get some Viagra for recreational use cuz things here in oz are getting seriooous and wanted to boost my ego a bit everyonce in a while so i walked in into a gp and talked shit about how i cant get a proper wood (No i dont have a ED problem, but i do use Viagra everyonce in a while when i know im gonna need it ) etc etc end of the story he prescribed me V and gave me some blood test to do for free , so i just jumped in and did them , today after 3 weeks after totally forgettin about it i just walked in and got the results, now im a bit shocked and confused about it

free test 268,8 pmol/l
FAI 32 L
SHBG 55 H
Testosterone 17,9 nmol/l

are they low as they look? or am i overthinking it? cuz im already thinking about trt if they low

Can you give ranges? I'm having a he'll of a time finding converters to compare to my ng/dL and pg/dL range for my labs.

17.9 nmol/l is equal to 516 ng/dl

For age 24 that is kinda sorta in range, but at the bottom 25%. Below from Megatron is a chart showing ranges per age.

Free test 268.8 pmol/l is equal to 7.75 ng/dl, which again is below average, bottom 33%.

So in terms of school grading, you are about a C- to D+ student. At age 24 you should be able to tear it up without viagra.

so should i look into like trt or anywat to fix my free test? im 160lbs about 10% have been dieting hard in the past even belo 7-8% im scared that i fucked up with my hormones in the past with low fat/high carb diets , also i took this test at like 5pm after eating etc should i just go and re do it?

I definitely wouldn't commit to lifelong injections at 24 based on that! Diet and time of day are factors. Free test varies. Re-test in the morning when rested and not dieting.

Did you really say low fat high carb diet? Wow, good way to put one foot in the grave. You should eat high protein, high fat, low carb and workout. That might boost your test naturally.

And as said above, do your blood testing in the morning.

Nobody is going to give you TRT with a total test level of 516 ng/dl, best to look into ways to live healthier and boost your test naturally.
