The blood androgen calculation I get are:
0.0114 ng/dL = 12.6 % (Free T)
0.000484 ng/dL = 0.539 % (BioT)
The SHBG of 166 nmol/L is high. I'd look into adrenal/pituitary deficiency, possibly ACTH deficiency (adrenocorticotropic hormone). Meaning you're not making enough hormones. Get on a detox plan, stop all the herbs, wait a full cycle and then evaluate how feel. DHEA could be helpful, the exact dosage?, I won't speculate. Personally, I'd insist on getting a thryroid panel and discussing the results with a qualified clinician.
is 12% free T pretty high? feel like i remember reading its meant to be like 2%?
It's very low. Normal range 2-5%........from the looks of it could be a luteal defect too (from the low progesterone). Check for yourself regarding the results it got. And btw, my thoughts are speculation on my part.
