Huge drop in testosterone

I can’t wrap my head around what’s going on with my hormone levels. I’ve been getting my blood checked 2-3 times a year, just out of curiosity. However, I’ve noticed recently my testosterone levels have drop almost 40%. Here is a quick run down of the blood work.

- Winter 2014- 991 ng/dL
- Spring 2015- 1024 ng/dl
- Fall 2015- 1014 ng/dl
- Spring 2016- 981 ng/dl
- Fall 2016- 740 ng/dl
- Summer 2017- 782 ng/dl
- Winter 2017- 730 ng/dl
- Spring 2018- 610 ng/dl

Estradiol has increased slightly to 17.6 pg/ml (most recent test). Thyroid values are right where they should be, maybe T4 being on the higher end of the range. Most blood work was done before 9:30am, within 30-45 minutes of waking up. Except for spring 2016 which was at 11:43am.

I’ll be getting new blood work done soon (total test, free test, sbgh, thyroid panel, estradiol, and dhea). I just can’t understand why my levels have tanked so hard.

I’m 26 years old. Since late 2016 I’ve definitely had less overall energy, drive/motivation, and libido. I just chalked that up to losing my job and starting a new stressful one (have quit this year). I stopped working out entirely around the same time.

What do y’all think?
