Got my test levels back, hows it look?

[trueX]

Week 8 of 12 using Test E/C 250mg per ML @ 500mg per week.

Testosterone - 1285
Range - 241-827

So my source would seem legit yes? Also with my dosage, should my level be higher or lower, or is that right on?

I went the the VA hospital and had it done, told them I was feeling tired all the time and low libido and that I had gotten a doctor to Rx me from his wellness clinic the Test. Told them he moved back to florida and I was looking at getting an Rx from them for some IM injections.

She said "well the vials we have here are 200mg per ML" so at least they have considered giving me an Rx, I told them I had enough for 12 weeks, and that I had 4 weeks left and was going to run out, and asked them my options.


Should I have not told them any of that? its hard to say your not taking anything when your level is 3x the normal range :/ so I just came clean and said I was taking IM injections weekly. Anyhow, what does a doctor usually do when they know your taking test on the side, they cant legally call the police or anything can they, seeing as it would be a HIPPA violation reporting out an abnormal level for law enforcement purposes.

It seems on the low side IMHO.

Would it matter if it was drawn on the last day before my next shot, I pinned wednesday, had blood drawn friday, pinned again saturday. Dunno if that would matter, but wanted to ask.

[Shurik]

I believe it has to be between 3000-5000 if I remember correctly. Unless your gear is underdosed.

Yeh on week 8 of 500mg Ew of test your levels should be well over 2000! Maybe at week 8 as the test should be building up in your system, somewhere around 3500! IMO your levels are about the equivilent of a 200-250mg a week dose Sorry

[ninesecz]

might have a tough time getting them to give you an RX for it now. With doing a steroid cycle they will consider that as "abuse" should have waited till your cyckle was over, let your levels crash and you could have for sure received a script for TRT

x2

levels should be at least above 2000, most the times they are around 3000-5000 (depending on the person).

I am running 200mg of test-e per week (cruising) and mine came back at around 900. So you are running double the dosage I am, and your levels are only 400 more than me? Doesn't make sense.

[thegodfather]

That number is pretty meaningless without a full HPTA workup. Get back to us with FSH,LH,Progesterone,Estradiol,SHBG....That will give us a better idea of what is going on.

I was thinking it was, that is what got me to get my dose checked anyhow.

Ya my MD is pretty forgiving overall, I have mentioned it in past checkups with him, and I was honest about taking test injections. And my source is a real MD and gave me the Rx to begin with so id not think he would look at it as a bad thing. I mean im not a large guy, not the type of guy you see and think roids at all.

Told him I had been seeking it due to age and libido and fatigue, which are all 100% true, and informed him my Rx was almost over and I wanted some long term options. I will most likely get it checked after cycle and when he sees my normal levels w/o test I hope it shouldnt be a problem.

But yes, thx so far for the info.

I cant atm, possibly after the cycle is over and im back to normal. He just ordered the single testosterone level, nothing more so I dont have any other results to request


EDIT: also I wanted to ask, since I pretty much only have this one source, and it seems so far the stuff is a bit underdosed, is this something that varies vial to vial? Just thinking ahead for next time, that if the dosage im taking is really only 1/2 what it says, should i take 2x as much to get to where I want to be. Then the problem arises is the new vials are on par, im going to be way overdosed.

ex: if my 500mg per week is only really giving me 250-300mg per week levels, should I take 1000mg per week to get to my 500 or so level of test? Hope that makes sense.

If it was me, i would go by my results, If you are already in week 8 I guess it could not hurt! I would not double your dose though cause if something is off that is 1000mg a week and that is too high. Do another 50% and even if it is dosed properly that would be 750wk which is on the high side but not overly crazy! but again I would go by the gains cause your levels are still higher than normal

[trueX]

ya the gains were great at week 5-6 but since have really tapered off. I think I could have 1 culprit. When I got the test, one was a 10ml bottle of Test E and one was a 10ml bottle of Test C. I used the test E first, and have since started on the Test C, could be in my head, but I didnt feel the same as I did when I started the Test E, hence me wondering if it was in my head, so I went and got checked and BOOM, kinda underdosed. Thinking that the first Test E vial was on point, but this Test C vial I have started 2 weeks ago is probably just mixed weaker or whatever.

thx
