i Get confused over numbers.

My medical provider says that the range of Testosterone, Free Calculation in pg/ml is 47-244

My last lab test was 98

Yet a chart I found on the web says Free Testosterone in men in pg/ml should be 6.9

Then another chart shows that free testosterone for men my age should be 11.3 pg.ml

Other data is shown in ng/ml.

So all very confusing.

Anyway it won't be long now until my T level is nearly 0 pg/ml or ng/ml as I have stopped taking the Androgel prescription.

Standards are wonderful... That's why they create so many of them for us to pick from....

What I USUALLY see referenced for T is ng/dL or nanograms per decileter, w/ the castrate range being from 0-50 ng/dL and 'normal' between about 200-750 ng/dL, with a fair bit of variation in what they suggest for a 'normal range.

Note that even after getting you usually still get some T production from the adrenals, so you may not go all the way to zero, but definitely should drop below 50 ng/dL (around 30 seems common)

However if you stop taking T, you should definitely be monitoring your bone density, and may want to consider using E or possibly a SERM in order to maintain it.
