T and E2 Ratios

What about the Free Androgen Index? I've seen that mentioned as a method for determining whether someone is hypogonadal. My FAI (from my latest test) is 53% which from what I've read isn't good. But I don't know, I'm still new to this stuff.

They are of absolutely no significance whatsoever.
And I second that I have had what Dr. Shippen calls a good ratio and felt like crap then had a bad ratio and felt good.
