Blood work with 250 test c

[Alx_cby]

Hello,
I would like to get your opinion regarding the attached blood test results.
For context:
31 years old
173 cm / 75 kg
Estimated body fat ~15%
4 weight training sessions per week, including 1 cardio session
Training consistently since the age of 18
On the advice of a friend, I started testosterone cypionate (Test C) 6 weeks ago at a dose of 250 mg per week, administered as one injection per week.
So far, I haven’t noticed any particular effects, either positive or negative.
I had two blood tests done (unfortunately without any pre-TRT baseline bloodwork, which I acknowledge was a mistake).
To my surprise, the results show average to relatively low testosterone levels, considering the dosage used. I am aware this is still early, and I plan to optimize things progressively over time.
At first, I thought I might be converting a significant amount of testosterone into estradiol, but this does not seem to be the case.
Additionally, my LH remains within a mid-range physiological level, suggesting that my HPTA may still be partially active.
As for hematocrit, it is elevated, but it was already at a similar level in a blood test from February 2024.
I am currently using D.N. Pharma testosterone.
Does anyone have experience with this brand?
Do you think it is possible that the product could be underdosed?
As a precaution, I have ordered Test C from Driada in order to try a different source and compare.
Thank you in advance for your feedback and insights.

When was this test done in comparison to your dosing?

I would also expect your testosterone to be higher. At least your E2 is consistent with your testosterone, more or less.

Now, I don't have any experience with your brand of testosterone, but I can definitely say that it's possible that you got an underdosed product. Try switching to a different brand, as you mentioned. Also, consider sending a sample of your current brand to Janoshik for analytical confirmation. You can reach out to your vendor to see if they reimburse for testing also.

Bonjour,
Je souhaiterais avoir votre avis concernant les résultats d'analyse sanguine ci-joints.
Pour mettre les choses en contexte :
31 ans
173 cm / 75 kg
Masse grasse estimée à environ 15 %
4 séances de musculation par semaine, dont 1 séance de cardio
Entraînement régulier depuis l'âge de 18 ans
Sur les conseils d'un ami, j'ai commencé le cypionate de testostérone (Test C) il y a 6 semaines à une dose de 250 mg par semaine, administrée sous forme d'une injection par semaine.
Jusqu'à présent, je n'ai constaté aucun effet particulier, ni positif ni négatif.
J'ai subi deux analyses de sang (malheureusement sans analyse de sang de référence avant le traitement hormonal substitutif, ce que je reconnais être une erreur).
À ma grande surprise, les résultats indiquent des taux de testostérone moyens, voire relativement bas, compte tenu du dosage utilisé. Je sais qu'il est encore trop tôt pour tirer des conclusions définitives et je compte optimiser progressivement le traitement.
Au début, je pensais convertir une quantité importante de testostérone en œstradiol, mais cela ne semble pas être le cas.
De plus, mon taux de LH reste dans la moyenne des niveaux physiologiques, ce qui suggère que mon axe HPTA est peut-être encore partiellement actif.
Quant à l'hématocrite, il est élevé, mais il était déjà à un niveau similaire lors d'une analyse sanguine effectuée en février 2024.
J'utilise actuellement la testostérone de DN Pharma.
Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà utilisé cette marque ?
Pensez-vous qu'il soit possible que le produit soit sous-dosé ?
Par précaution, j'ai commandé le test C chez Driada afin d'essayer une source différente et de comparer.
Merci d'avance pour vos commentaires et suggestions.

Depends when you did your bloodwork compared to your last injection.
Try splitting your Test C in two shots every 3.5 days.
My last test maxed at 37.4nmol/l cause thats maximum it can show.
If it matters i am using Test C from Hilma Biocare.

Your testo 19nmol/L on 250mg ?
What did you measure before, under 8 ?

Votre nom complet et votre date de naissance figurent sur les documents. Vous devriez peut-être les supprimer et les modifier.

Votre adresse personnelle est également visible. Il faudrait presque certainement la masquer. On ne sait jamais :]

Oui, vous avez raison, merci, j'ai modifié cela.

Cela dépend de la date de votre prise de sang par rapport à votre dernière injection.
Essayez de diviser votre dose de Testostérone C en deux injections tous les 3,5 jours.
Mon dernier test a atteint un maximum de 37,4 nmol/l, car c'est le maximum qu'il puisse afficher.
Si cela a une importance, j'utilise le testostérone C de Hilma Biocare.

J'ai fait les deux injections, toujours à deux jours d'intervalle. Merci pour le conseil, je suis d'accord, il est préférable d'en faire deux par semaine.

Votre taux de testostérone est de 19 nmol/L avec 250 mg ?
Quelles étaient vos mesures précédentes, inférieures à 8 ?

Yes 19nmol/L with 250mg but i said i make mistake to dont do blood work before trt so i will see with some other product.

What’s your age ?
9 out of 10 have these readings using no exogen test.

You can do a serum test, injecting 2ml and next day do bloodwork.

19nmol/L compare to ~ 548ng/dL in midrange of ref. value.
(8.6-29nmol/L, 248-836ng/dL)

31 !
That’s why I suggested that my testosterone might be underdosed. A contact sold me these products (DN Pharma). I should receive products from Driada (test C) in the coming days. I plan to continue at 250 mg per week (2 injections per week) and do another blood test in 5–6 weeks.
