Tomorrow am i'm getting blood test results - I had my testosterone levels taken amongst other things.

What should they be? What's a reasonable level? Does anyone know?

A bit of googling revealed this:

http://www.healthline.com/health/low-testosterone/testosterone-levels-by-age#prenatal2

Female   
   Age:   T Level (ng/dL):
   0-5 months   20-80
   6 mos.-9 yrs.   <7-20
   10-11 yrs.   <7-44
   12-16 yrs.   <7-75
   17-18 yrs.   20-75
   19+ yrs.   8-60
Avg. Adult Female   15-70
       
When I went to see gynae about T replacement she said that she did not routinely measure T levels because the test is not sensitive enough to distinguish between high and low levels in women because the test is designed for men and therefore the reference range is much greater (as men's T levels are much higher).    

However it would be interesting to see what yours come out at!

I really like this comprehensive resource for all hormone levels (it also gives free Testosterone ranges)
