Help! Bloods mid cycle! T levels seem way too high!

**THREEFIFTYSE7EN** · 01-28-2021, 04:23 AM

Hi,

I am 7 weeks into my first cycle (500mg test e) and everything has gone well so far. I asked my doctor if I could get my hormone levels checked and he basically kicked me out of his office. I live in Australia and it seems that most doctors here are super against anabolics and have knowledge about them whatsoever. Determined to get my levels checked, I found an online blood clinic that can send me a referral without having to go through a doctor and, long story short, here are my results.

Testosterone - 169.9nmol/L (4900ng/DL if my conversion is correct)
Free Test - >2000pmol/L (>544pg/DL)
Oestradiol - 411pmol/L (111pg/DL)

(Sorry for the weird units of measurement, I have no idea why we use these in Australia but I tried to convert them into American units.)

Do these numbers seem right? 4900 seems like an absolute shitload for only 500mg test. I wasn't expecting anything near that. My free T seems ridiculously high, too. E2 is also high but I am not really surprised because I wasn't taking an AI until the other day.

Can anybody shed some light on these results? Is my gear overdosed? Or could it be a dodgy blood test? I am really worried but I feel like I can't talk to my doctor about it because he'll just kick me out of his office again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.

Ive seen 5000 total test levels a few times on 500mg weekly. It can happen. Id be happy if i were you, if your calculations are correct.

I was happy at first but then I started wondering if these were safe levels for a beginner. I feel fantastic and have had minimal side effects so I guess I should just relax and enjoy the ride. Cheers!

I believe I’ve read a rule of thumb is roughly 10x the mg = total T

I've never heard that! I was just going off a lot of my mates who had levels around 1500-2000 on the same amount of test. This is very reassuring, so thanks!

Your conversion appears accurate. Your mate probably had underdosed gear.
Be happy.
