test levels ? help

[paul 47]

so i was going to start cycle and thought it would be a good idea to go get my test levels checked and blood count and all that stuff and everything was fine but my test level was 287 i think thats low doctor said thats normal for my age im 23 years old im 5.9 .190 i have done cycles in the past its been over a year since i have done anything i did a normal pct .i just think 287 is low for my age the doctor said the test chart goes from 100 to 800 . let me know what you guys think

That test level is very low!!! Average would be 500 + for your age... 800 + would be beneficial... Do you workout? Take anti depressants or pain killers? Do you drink to much? Any reason why it would be that low.... Good luck!

if you can get your hands on another post cycle i would def do it... obv pct brings up your natural test levels and i would do it everyother day 1cc... and that is low im 23 as well and my levels wer at around 120 very low, however your dr is right about the scale it does have a WIDE range for what they think is good enough but at our age it should be back around 800 to 1000 to be honest. your test levels start to decrease i believe at the age of 25 possibly younger but to already be that low is asking for problems... i however had to stop taking the pct treatments because of the whole einsurance issue and the shit aint cheap. what you could do is testosterone therapy but you would have to go and get blood work done every month or so... you could do cyp 250 and normally the dr.s around me watch you for an average of 6 months to make sure your levels are increasing... but i would seriously try pct before looking into juice again... were to young to be that ow and you don't need any other probes like ED or things of that nature. good luck man hope it works out for you

Op, exactly what Mickey said. I'll add that your current doc is a retard. Labcorp Test serum range is 348 - 1197. At your age you should be at the top of the scale this far from pct. If you have more BW post it up with ranges to we can analyze it. If your uncomfortable doing that then pm me with it.

It's very possible there is an underlying issue causing the low T and you need to find it and address it first and foremost. Do not start TRT or anything else until you do so. Many things can cause low T such as hypothyroid, high cortisol issues, lifestyle, pathologies, testicular issues and the list goes on....Remember AAS impacts the hypothalamus and pituitary which then influences the thyroid. They all play together.

So, proper BW is the most important thing right now. Be sure to include LH & FSH and a full thyroid panel including at a minimum TSH, FT3, FT4 and RT3. Consider supplementing with Vit D3 immediately as well at maybe 5k IU - 10K IU per day. Arguably the most important vitamin (hormone) you can take, IMO. It will improve your free T level.

Before I drone on further tell me more please.
