SP is most likely not responsible for the low T. It has been studied well enough that there was no evidence of it having an effect on free T.

I've had low free T all my life, a combination of lifestyle factors can affect it, such as poor exercise, poor sleeping habits and poor diet. I hated mornings (when T is highest) and still do, I never feel good but uneasy, so I would stay up late often contributing to lower T levels for most of my life. Lack of exercise and red meat can also cause lower T levels.

I had similar results to yours when I first took a blood test shortly after starting PM, but my free T was lower. I was happy about it obviously but my GP was concerned, I definetly think PM is an antiandrogen because after using it for a few months then taking another blood test before starting Spiro, my serum T was in the 200s.

Thanks, Aleah! I'm settling into the probability that my free-T has always been low, probably genetically. I'm sure my hormone levels have always been a bit whacky since my urges are definitely not mainstream and I've had significant gender dysphoria.

The doctor has ordered a "bunch" of additional blood tests. Hopefully that will shed a little more light on the issue. Ultimately, though, as long as the low free-T isn't dangerous I see no need to try and raise it artificially.
