Testostrone Levels Way High

NDJamie · 05-21-2006, 05:12 AM

This may seem stupid, but I have to know. I got a call on Monday from my doctor and she's sending me to see a specialist. She said that the normal range for testostone is .8 - 1.3. Mine is at 7.2. I'm worried cause she's talking about a steriod treatment but I don't remember the name. I'm just really worried. Dose anyone or has one know or have this problem. Please let me know. I need support!

Hi Jamie!

My testosterone levels were high too (dont remember how high) but the Dr. put me on metformin and my gyno put me spironolactone to help to bring down the testosterone leve.
I will go back to check my levels in 3 months and if they havent moved down, then the doc said we might try steroid treatment.
So i hope the metformin works !

good luck and keep us posted!

Those Helped You Loose Weight I Hav Went From 135 To 191 In Eight Months And Cant Loose It What Ever I Do And Was Told It May Have A Lot To Do With The Pcos Along With The Adema (water Retention) In My Legs. No One Can Give Me A Straight Answer.

Mine was even higher doc put me on metformin next blood test dropped back to within normal ranges. Ask the doc if you have not tried metformin if you can.

Good luck and God bless.
