Hello,
I’ve posted my personal story over in the member story section. I was wondering if anyone could help me interpret my blood work? As usual, I got the “in range, A-O-K” from the general practitioner. Have an appointment with an endo in a couple weeks.
Anyway, here are the results.

And here are the testosterone results taken one month apart.

Testosterone, Free and Total, LC/MS/MS (September 2, 2010)
Testosterone, Total: In Range 293, (250-1100 ng/dL)
Testosterone, Free (Percent): In Range 1.68 (1.50-2.20%)
Free Testosterone: In Range 49.2 (35.0-155.0 pg/mL)
What is odd to me is that I’ve been off fin for a little over two months, and the results of my testosterone are going down (though the percent is increasing, which I’m assuming is because there is less available?), but most of my sides are getting better.
The only new side was about 3 days of mild testicular pain and now my ejaculate is a little watery. Not having any problems getting aroused and “feeling” things down there, though my erections vary from solid to a little soft.
Any help would be appreciated!
Best,
