Total Test levels

[chopper9451]

so i had my test levels checked back in april before i had ever cycled. that came back at 358 ng/dl. They say thats in normal range. Seems low to me? Not low enough for them to prescribe though huh?

on week 8 of test e 550 right now.

How old are you? Depending on age that might not be all that low of a number...

You are on week 8 of a test cycle and only registering 550ng now? or do you mean 550mg/wk... Sorry long day, brain ain't working

But no, In any cae that wouldn't be low enough for them to put you on TRT. Normal Ranges vary for Medical facility to another but the lab i used to work in the range was about 300 - 800 for healthy males 20 - 40

Yeah my level was at 305ng and they never prescribed me anything because that is considered in the normal range. 225-850 is considered normal at most hosipitals. I just came off monsterdrol and got checked again and im at 189ng.I might be able to get prescribed something now.

[chopper9451]

so what do you think about getting checked again right after my cycle and maybe get prescribed? would they give me anything that is worth taking?

[T.STEEL]

yeah if you dont do a pct after your cycle, go maybe and get it checked 3 weeks later. I think the normal dosage they give you if you get prescribed injections is 100-150mgs a week. its a pretty low dosage. You will be just running normal test ranges with that. They might try and get you on some androgel, i heard that is worthless, dont bother with that.

Testosterone secretion is in pulses following LH pulses. This mean that in blood is fluctuation in hormones highes level in morning (7 a.m.) and lowest level in late afternoon (5 p.m.).

One blood test confirm nothink! You have to have symptoms and 2-3 low reading or special blood test (3 extraction in 60min. and this blood samples mixed and performed one reading for total test with SHBG, albumine, prolactine, free test, estrogene, LH and FSH) to confirm hopogonadism or PADAM syndrome.

PADAM :-) in my language its can be mean like "Iam falling"

If your testosterone value is 305 ng/dl in week 8 of 550 mg/week, there is no testosterone in whatever you have been injecting, if it had been real test you should be closer to 2000 ng/dl.

I was at 189ng after week 6 of my cycle of test cyp of 400mgs a week. I got screwed, fake or underdosed shit.

Androgel isn't worthless. I've been on it before & @ a dosage of 2.5g ed I had test levels of 1180 in 3 weeks. Of course the Doctor backed my dose down, but still. My normals are in the low 300's btw.
