Thanks to everyone who replied. A few people asked to see the results, so here they are. Quite a difference compared to the finger prick test a few days ago and my NHS test a few years back (14.8 ish).

I’ve made a lot of lifestyle changes since then, so I was surprised the result came back higher.

Everything else was normal apart from:
SHBG: 41
LH: 11.8
FSH: 13.5

I still have the symptoms, so I’ll be looking into the raised LH and FSH to see if that’s related, but Voy doesn’t seem concerned. It definitely shows there can be a big difference between a finger prick test and a venous blood test.

I’ve been getting the usual symptoms lately, but they seem worse than before, low energy, no drive, brain fog, irritated, no morning wood, that sort of thing.

A few years ago I tested at 14.8. Since then I’ve lost 50kg over about 3 years, don’t smoke or drink, eating at my 3k maintenance, I’m a healthy weight now and pretty active, so I honestly thought my levels would have gone up. Instead, I got my latest results back yesterday and they’re attached below.

I’m thinking it’s probably worth doing the enhanced blood test to check more markers and rule other things out, but I wanted to get some opinions on these results first. I know it’s symptoms as much as numbers, but do these levels seem low for a healthy, active 30 year old guy?
