    Normal male levels for the gonadotropins would be:

    LH: 1.5 to 9.0 IU/ml

    FSH 1.5 to 12.0 IU/ml.

    The normal levels will vary slightly depending on the technique used by the testing laboratory. They will normally state their reference range when giving you the results.

    It might be worth testing for testosterone and SHBG at the same time.

    Samples should be taken between 8am and 9am to get the maximum levels.
