52 views and no comments… I spent some time typing this folks :frowning:

after looking at my progression of T values, since 2004, pre-fin, i actually think that I naturally have high T and now have low T after fin. Before making this observation I thought I had normal T. Also I have this low Androstenedione, which is weird … and no doctor can explain or want to try…

in 2004 my T was in the upper range, and my free T and bio T were WAY ABOVE The range, doctor told me do not worry, just be happy…

in 2013, i am in the lower range on all this… I do not think that 10 years can explain this drop… otherwise i will end up with negative values when I am 60

I have adrenal problems to. I need to get Androstenedione tested. I think many of us have busted Adrenals.

Check cortisol and your T3/rT3 ratio.

My androstendione came back high, almost over the range.

is it blood or salivary? Please mention clearly.

My androstenedione came back as 9.6 micrograms in a 24 hour urine panel. However, there’s no established reference range for this on Rhein Lab tests. Useless I suppose.
