Blood work low test question
ad
Hey guys I did my first cycle two years ago of test e and dbol. I never got blood work done. Well I went to the doc last week for allergies and she did blood work. Called me in today and I went through the allergies and also said I have slightly low test at 261. She said it it was taken later in the day so it could be a fluke, wants me to get it tested early AM this week. I know I am dumb for not getting blood work pre last cycle. Now I don't know if I've always had low test or if it's a result from my first cycle. How low is 261 and does it really matter the time of the day? She asked me about libido and I'm having no issues there. Little tired here and there but I work 11 hour days and train in the gym 5 days a week

a testosterone level of 261 is completely normal.... if you're a 70 year old man.
You think I will test different in the morning vs a afternoon test?
Yeah but I wouldn't expect your morning results to be much better. You said earlier your libido is fine and that's important, you also said your energy levels are acceptable given your workload, and you haven't mentioned being depressed.
Some guys just have naturally low T.
Haha thanks man that makes me feel great! How about some more DETAILS
Your test levels fluctuate on a circadian rythm. Test levels can be up to 30% lower later in the day compared to their highest levels in the morning. You definitely need to get blood taken in the morning to get an idea of your peak levels. 261 is on the lower end, especially for your age, but if your libido is good, mood is good, no extreme lethargy 24/7 and you feel pretty good in general i would just live with that number. After all it is just a number and if you are feeling well and functioning normally, don't try to change that by artificially introducing test into you for the rest of your life.
Yea at 28 I really don't want to have to start any TRT. I'll get tested again in the morning and throw the numbers up. Overall i really do feel good and libido is great. I now realize how important blood work is and I will be getting it pre during and post cycle
If you are feeling good and libido is good, don't mess around with TRT.
Thanks
Get that retest because 261 is pretty low..... Also what is your free test?
Lol she also said if it came back low again, I could start a topical application. I'm thinking in my head screw that I'll get those numbers up myself!
NYC i don't know, there was only one number listed
I'm around 180-200 naturally. I can sleep all day, I get a lot of headaches and I have mood swings. I can still whack it multiple times a day, but my junk never gets fully hard.
