Re: Testosterone Levels
You'd think I'd know by now. But all my paperwork is home. I can look it up in the morning.

You know how they have those ranges when you get your lab work? Well the one that I have says 14-76...Mine was 71. Well Labcorp tends to have different ranges than other labs sometimes and then doctors have their own preferred range...KWIM?
Im just keeping myself busy until my labwork comes back this week.

Here is what my last one stated:
(Obviously done a different way)
Testosterone, Total Range 2-45 ng/dL
(measured by LCMSMS method, whatever the heck that means)
% Free testosterone Range 0.5-2.0%
Free Testosterone Range 0.1-6.4 pg/mL
So, I have no idea. Testosterone was never a problem for me, even though they test it every month. So I have done no research on it.

Re: Testosterone Levels
From a site called Mercksourse.com. I don't think this is the actual Merck Manual but I couldn't find anything with a quick search on the manual.
Normal Results
Male: 300 -1,000 ng/dL
Female: 20 - 80 ng/dL
Note: ng/dL = nanograms per deciliter

The problem is that I keep finding conflicting ranges depending upon what site, lab, etc...(Labcorp says 14-76ng/dL)
Depending upon where I get my information my levels are elevated or not elevated...
It's very frustrated...
