Anyone ever have one done?
I had a test this week and the results came back today

Total Test LC/MS = 602.0

I am 60 and not on enhancements or TRT.

That's really good for your age and no enhancements. Are you considering going on TRT?

Considering that I am natural, have never been on enhancements or TRT I was really surprised that my test level is as high as it is.
Not considering TRT.
I do not have any of the symptoms of low test and my reading is well above the mean for my age group.

My dad told me that he had a high test level.
Guess I won the genetic lottery.

Did you get Free T tested?

Total looks nice but its only part of the story.

I feel pretty bad these days. Total test at 360 and free only at 6.34 E2 is 90!...........

I'm 53. Believe also at 600 or so. Had my free test measured, too, per heavyiron.

I'll see if I can dig the paperwork up. It's from this year.

5 years ago when I was 51 I tested at 450.I was not natural but had been off since the late 80s.Even though I was in the normal range I got the doctor to put me on trt.I had not been having terrible symptoms of low test but have been much much better in the 5 years since getting on.

Yes.

Do you have the reference range of your particular lab?

If you don't mind the question, does a nurse pin you or are you on gel or what?

Not bad, it would be interesting to see your E2 and SHBG.

Curt I get a script for test cyp and do all the pinning myself.She (my doctor) has me come in for blood work twice a year.In June I don't even see her just give blood and in December she gets blood and does a physical.She looks over the numbers and usually doesn't even tell me what they are.Sometimes she will say something like my vitamin D is low so take some.

Thanks, Cook.

My free test is almost 1000. I was born with a condition called "high test" aka high levels of the main hormone testosterone
