Astro Labs Test E / Eq - Blood test results

[monkeymelon]

These are my results after 7 weeks of test e and eq both at 600mg/week and 20mg of aro eod. Blood was drawn about 12 hours after pinning. Sex drive up, size and strength increases everything you would expect but not much in the way of negative sides. My first test cycle I broke out pretty noticeably but nothing this time. I hope I am just lucky and the gear is not underdosed.

Unfortunately I lucked out and didn't get a value for tt but at least it's over 1500. I'm curious about my e2 though because it seems rather low and ever since my tbol kickstart my strength seems like it should be still increasing somewhat consistently but it's just not there. I've read about the 10:1 ratio and studies concerning estrogen and sex drive and strength so I figured I'll let my estrogen climb up until I notice the negative side effects.

I am going to either get some aro from another source to dose easier or try e3d with astro's once i notice the sides. And in a couple weeks I will get another test but I will be sure to get one that will give me an actual number for my tt. Thoughts and advice? Thanks

E2 looks good, I don't think elevating it any higher would be productive to be honest, but feel free to experiment. At least you have a good idea of what dose you need to keep e2 in check.

I have seen a number of patients handle testosterone well, but to have no E2 increase at 600 mg per week is a bit disconcerting. If possible, in the future obtain a real TT level.

You have to order the specific test that will yield the exact TT level. It is on the menu for Private MD labs when ordering (if you use Private MD). It is a separate test that you have to order 'in addition to' your hormone panel.

Yes, we have heard of *some* members getting a total test number with their female hormonal panel, but much more often than not, we see members only getting the result with the ">1500" cut off.
