Very Interesting Blood Test Free T result (I think)

[klawler9]

For my most recent physical last month I decided to see what the numbers looked like after a 4 day water only fast. I finished the fast and ate the night before the tests. Blood lipid panel etc all came back really good so I know Im on the right track with my diet but my testosterone is the interesting part

I am on a twice a week protocol of inter muscular injections test cyp at 50mg. Been on this for close to two years now. Results are great, no issues no side effects in general thrilled with it. The numbers though...

Testosterone 846 ng/dL

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin 30 nmol/L

Testosterone, Free Calculated 728 pmol/L

The units matter so I converted the Free to 474 pg/mL to compare to older test results. Before TRT I was hovering around 70 pg/mL. I then went to 222pg/mL and now it appears to be super high while total is still fine. SHBG is up significantly from 17 at my last test.

I don't feel bad but I'm not sure I would. I can't find any literature that talks about high free but I also wonder if this was the result of testing after a multi day fast.

Any opinions?

My PC is good but not schooled in this stuff really.

That's a miscalculation. 728 pMol/L is 0.728 nMol/L, which is 21 ng/dL, and shows that the Vermeulen calculation was used. The Tru-T result is 30 ng/dL, putting you at the top of the normal healthy range, 16-31.

Thank you! I ran it through a calculator I found online. I obmiouly did something wrong so I appreciate it.
