Yeah I know T levels vary massively but I'm still curious as to other guys opinions. I guess I'm slightly paranoid that I'm going to be losing progress. I've been strapped for cash recently but hopefully should be able to see me gender specialist doctor next week to see if my T levels are where they should be.
So my recent blood test results say my T level results are 13.4 nmol/L. I did a brief google search and a cis mans T levels are between 9-38 nmol/L. I'm on gel btw.
Thanks :)

You're in range and that's the important bit. Recall that for cismale ranges, they have to account for the huge surge and rapid decay through the day-cycle. If you test a cismale early morning, T will be very high, and in the evening, very low; but all within range.

What test are you having done?
At last test, my T was 661 and the provided reference range was 348-1197.
