Free vs total test levels
ad
I just got my blood work results back and the "total test" levels were 1500 and had a high alert on labs, but the "free test" results said 20.7 on a scale of 8.7 to 21.5... So my question is should the free test levels but higher? And are these numbers good? Thanks guys

I just noticed your response to my comments/questions below. You've been taking LETRO every few days? You may be crashing your estrogen. honestly I'm not sure of the effects of estrogen being too low and free test, but you have yet to mention if you've had e2 tested. I've never used letro, and I'm not sure on dosing, I've never bothered looking into it as I've been fine using either adex or asin. But from what I've heard it's much stronger and can crash estro to be too low. So, what's your estradiol number??
Don't know my estradiol number but I would think it would be low due to the letro but after research and advice I switched to proviron which frees up the test in your body so I'm on the right track now....stopping the letro and switched to Adex
AnonFree is the amount of unbound test. The problem with high total low free is excess estrogen. You however seem to be doing fine as far as levels go.
I agree with proviron or mastering as an addition, they both give me an incredible sense of well being
Do some research on proviron and thank me later
I freakin love you kam1314 lol..thank you for the tip! "Since it lowers SHBG it allows for more total testosterone to become bioavailable." Bingo!
Free test. That's the number you need to worry about for building muscle, in my take about total test, just means the higher it gets the more AI you gotta take to counter estro
High estrogen will suppress free test. High free test is what you really want. Are you on an ai?? Test your e2 you want that under 50 to raise free test, on trt 15-30 is optimal. You should be getting the female hormone panel, that will get you total, free and estrogens.
Thx Jimmie I appreciated he info! Yes I been taking letro every few days...
Greater than 1500, or 1500 exactly?
All the paper showed is: >1500. So I'm assuming greater than, it's one of thoes any lab 24hr result places
I have seen free test numbers on here as high as 70, if my memory serves me correctly. Maybe rest of test is bound to shbg and converted to dht. What was estro?
Those numbers mean very little without back ground.
Are you on cycle, TRT or natty ?
The answers are:
Natural levels - You lucky bastard.
Trt levels- your Dr's going to dial you back
On cycle- Depends on the cycle, numbers are so so to low. More info needed.
Did you read his other forums? Just FYI...

No, I'm accessing via my $20 semi smart phone which has mental issues ( retarded ). Navigation is extremely limited.
No, I have not read that.
Lmao...semi smart with mental issues...I believe that's on the DSM IV or V!!
Yes, DSM IV, page 239. That is a picture of my phone.
JK
Hey bro, yeah it's on cycle running 700mg per week super test blend but it doesn't feel right and my sex drive is low...but running this gear for bout 2 months...gonna switch to pharma but was just thinking the free test levels should be higher?
Is that all, just super test blend....what other supps, meds, etc?
No other supps...just the super test 350 for 2 months prior was off everything for 3 months
1) check your estrogen.
2) 700 mg / week, total teat 1500 ??
My guess, the lab test topped out at 1500 and doesn't measure above that level, you really need a re-test with one that is not going to have you range bound.
X2 LC/MS...
Coming from a guy that had very low t and finally got my numbers in a good range, but still less than what you listed, they are very good.
