Hi everyone
I just got my pre-cycle bloods done (from PrivateMDLabs) a few days ago and I just got my results (note: I had my blood drawn at 9am after having fasted for 12 hours, as was directed)
Background Info:
27 years old
6'0.25" (184cm)
180 lbs (81.5kg)
10.5% bf
Never cycled before

NOTE: Adult male reference interval is based on a population ofhealthy nonobese males (BMI <30) between 19 and 39 years old
So I was able to roughly compare the values I got on my bloods with the values that were posted in the stickied post on bloods in this board, and while they generally seem to match up, I wanted some personal feedback and thoughts on my values.
I dont really have any questions per se, however I did notice that my Serum Testosterone was 581 ng/dL which is smack dab in the middle range of 264-916 ng/dL
Im pretty sure that for a healthy male at my age which is not suffering from most any low-T symptoms, and that has a very strong sex drive and morning wood every day, that my T level seems uncharacteristically low.
Now I understand that there are considerable fluctuations in testosterone throughout the day and perhaps swings throughout the week, so I was wondering if this is something that I should consider getting another lab done. Of course I would only be testing my Testosterone and not the entire Female hormone panel.
So with that being said, if you think its a good idea to get retested, what kind of test on PrivateMDLab should I order?
Ive read somewhere that it would be a good idea to get SHBG and Free Testosterone tested, as those are potentially more important than Serum Testosterone.
Thanks in advance!
