500mg Test = 1500ng/dL WTF?

**Doberman** · 01-29-2009, 01:09 PM

Just had my bloods in and my test level is only 1500ng/dl!? this is on 500mg UGL Test-E that I have been running for 6+ months.

My natty test is about 350ng/dl so it's 4.5 times that but 1500ng/dl seems low for 500mg? what do you guys think?

**chuckt12345** · 01-29-2009, 01:32 PM

yup,, way low,, should be around 5 to 7k,, 6months??
guess you been runnin bad gear for awhile my friend.
UK huh? pm the brand

Thanks Chuck, could I just be a poor oxidiser? i.e some guys on HRT need 400mg a week to get into the 800-900's ng/dl

I'd try to get 4 weeks worth of pharmaceutical grade and use that for 4 weeks and get a blood test again to see if your UGL gear is really underdosed or if it could possibly be other things causing it.

Yes I was going to drop to 250mg a week and get it tested in 4 weeks as it "might" be the labs maximum range is 1500 ng/dl if not i'll try the pharma...

How often were you shooting the test?

**Doberman** · 01-29-2009, 04:26 PM

2x a week...

However guys, if some people need 200-250mg Per week on HRT to put them at 700-900 wouldent that make my 500mg spot on i.e 1500...

Tough to say unless you knew prior to the cycle you suffered from low test.

Yes I do, im at 350 ish natty...

**peachfuzz** · 01-29-2009, 08:04 PM

dont forget to account for the ester weight and the fact that your own natty test is suppressed and it is UGL.

**BIG_TRUCK** · 01-29-2009, 08:39 PM

Like was said,

*ester weight
*It's UGL so likely under dosed some
*Everyone absorbs test differently

100-200mgs a week is the norm for getting TRT patients within normal test ranges. This is with pharm grade that is exactly measured. 1500ng/dl is higher than the normal high range. I would just up my dose to 750mgs if it is under dosed.

Also, having naturally low testosterone has no baring on how well you respond to synthetic testosterone .

My HRT dose of 200/week to me to over 1400.

This is just my theory, but pharmaceutical's get the highest quality raw materials to develop their steroids .

While UGL's get their raws from sketchy Chinese factories that have no indication of product quality control and sometimes are contaminated whereas pharmaceutical companies everything must be exact to a science.

I don't know if thats right or not, but thats what I was thinking in response to your answer.
