Title: Normal testosterone levels pre hrt?
Post by: meow8 on October 17, 2015, 04:56:09 PM
So i've been to my endo this week for my 3 month checkup, and apparently, my Testosterone levels were unusually low (blood test was pre-hrt) so I was wondering, what were supposed to be normal testosterone levels for an adult male?

It varies by age but it's somewhere between about 300 low end and 950 high end.

TOTAL TESTOSTERONE LEVELS

  ng/dl                         ng/ml
  Females  6 - 85                  0.1 - 1.2
  Males  270 - 1100              2.4 - 12

Levels in the female range of below 60-50 should be of advantage...

My testosterone levels pre HRT were measured twice.  First measurement was about 750 and the second was about 690.  They were measured 2 years apart.  I used to think I had low T a couple years ago and was seeing if I could get a testosterone supplement, rofl.  I wasn't and I couldn't, thankfully.  :)

Before I started this current round of HRT, my T level were tested as being at 5.7 ng/ml. Now after nearly 3 years on an Oestrogen only therapy, my T levels are down to 0.7 ng/ml. My doctor is aiming to get it  to between 0.20 to 0.25 ng/ml as he states that hormonally this will put me clearly in the female range

.25 ng/ml is equal to 25 ng/dl. Just so everyone is clear.  My measurements above were in ng/dl.

Thanks for the replies everyone. My endo uses nanomol per liter as a measurement so i dont know how those other values compare. According to the internet a range of 12~35 nanomol per liter is deemed normal, with 10 ranging as a minimum.
