Should I be worried about a Test score of 17 - Ausbb

Doesn't sound too shabby and the GP said it was in the healthy range. Would be nice to be at 40 odd though...

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Mike

It would be nice to be a young lad again aswell..

As long as your body is behaveing itself, I cant see any real reason to get excited.....When you stop looking at your avatar or harrasing the wife, you may have low enough test levels to be of concern.

Everyone getting tested, I am curiousas I am getting on a tad aswell, but wont rush out anytime soon. MAybe at my next yearly check I will get a few extra things looked at.

i wouldnt be happy. mine was 19 and i wasnt happy. it was near the very low end of normal. Norma is probably based on the results of a 40 year old man.

Ummmm Mike is 40 mate.

Mike thats is good as far as the "norms" go. But I supose it all comes down to how you feel.
The thing is though, chances are your local GP wont do shit about it even if you wanted to get it up a bit, you are apparently "normal". As you know, mine was 12, and my GP STILL refused to help. Being 22, it got me down. I have been put onto a specialist now by a friend, and will never look back....... No matter how much he charges

Trofius don't you work in a blood lab? Sneak a sample in

We dont perfom a full panel of hormones in Rockhampton, They go to Brisbane. We just cater for the IVF labs, so E2, prog, LH, HCG, Its OK if I ever suspect myself of being pregnant lol,

We can do most basic bloods, FBC, E/LFT, basic coags, Troponins. most histo is kept, I can do almost any micro test ,but that got centralised aswell this year..Oh I can take blood aswell.

I get pretty much anything for free, unless it is an odd test medicare wont recognise.
