    Testosterone levels

    Does it make sense to have testosterone levels of 44ng/dl and 9.9 free testosterone during a cycle. Not sure if it's fake or not. So I got blood work but my doctor said this is common for during cycle numbers, but she's not sure. I have gained a couple pounds but nothing crazy.

    44 ng/dl is awful. Sounds like you're injecting something other than test to be that shutdown. The free test at 9.9 if ng/dl falls in range though if off cycle (5-21). Weird.

    The normal range is like 300-1100 I believe. I'm obviously far below. But my doctor says it could possibly be just showing my endogenous production

    So in your opinions the second has to be fake right? I've gained a couple pounds though which is wierd like 4 or 5. But the second vial I feel like can't be test cause my acne went away but my doctor still says it could be which makes no sense

    Your doctors an idiot. You're shutdown and that definitely is not test you're injecting.

    A blood test cannot differentiate between endogenous and exogenous test (once the molecule is free of its ester).

    OK stack, we went into this on your previous thread. We told you to get the results in your hands . I asked you about you Estradiol and you were going to find out about that. You called the office and they were closed.
    So where are you now bud. This is not a guessing game. The numbers will shed light but you need the paper work in your hand. Did I miss that, do you have it? I don't care what your doctor says and I'm not interested in you guessing for us.
    I hope I'm not out of line here but what's up.

    If your levels are that low on 500mg test well the stuff is BUNK . ....crazy mike

    Screw what your doc says..

    Going in tommorow to check my estrogen/estrodial level and get a physical copy of the lab results. But I started my nolvadex/clomid. Because I am exact strength the passed 3 weeks. But it takes a week to get the results usually so I didn't want to wait that long to start my pct. I just threw the gear away. i Appreciate the help.

    you are certain the units are ng/dL. and not nmol/L?

    I'm pretty sure. She just told me
    Over the phone " my total testosterone is at 44. Which is very low" so it has to be something lower than average. But I will get a physical copy to see for myself

    If your total test is 44, you a injecting(using) a steroid - Not testosterone though.

    labs usually fake deca and other drugs with test, but i wonder if some labs end up doing the opposite if they are unable to make the test, powder doesnt come in, etc.

    hmm...

    Then why would I be making strength gains if I was using some kind of anabolic

    because thats what anabolics do? make you stronger and bigger?

    I think you misunderstood what he meant. he meant 44ng/dl is so low below normal range that it's not just your second vial was empty carrier oil and youve been off for 3 weeks because you would've recovered somewhat. but that your second vial was a steroid, just not testosterone (hence still suppressing your natural production). Im not sure thats true though, your second vial could be empty oil imo and you're still just suppressed from the first batch which got you up to 1500 3 weeks is about right to be bottoming out.

    Either way you did the right thing, stop injecting and start your pct and get more labs done in a few weeks to make sure you've recovered then give cycling another go in a few months....maybe with a different source. Shame you chucked whatever you had left instead of trying to get it tested.

    Also who fakes test? seriously

    I'm sorry i meant to write I HAVNT made strength gains. Sorry, but yea stopping seemed to make sense. I still have it actually, but I really think it's just completely bunk because I havnt made significant strength gains. And test is the cheapest so I doubt he would give me another chemical over test. And how do I get my gear checked exactly?
