BW total testosterone reading affected by EQ (boldenone) use

[Paragon73]

I'm on prescribed TRT and added 600mg per week of EQ for the last 12 weeks. I just got BW done the day before my semi-weekly shot. I used Labcorp and did both total testosterone tests (ECLIA and LCMS). The LCMS returned 961, which is exactly as expected for my TRT dose of Test Cyp. However the ECLIA returned >1500! This is a problem because I'm scheduled for BW with my doctor and he uses the ECLIA test.

Is the ECLIA test really mistaking EQ for TEST? What can I do? EQ has a huge ester and will take a long time to clear.

Delay the test and stop the eq.
Not really nothing you can do.

your eq is most likely just testostetone.

Then why would it only show up on one test? Not that he couldn't have faked eq. Isn't eq faked alot?

I trust the LCMS test. I used it my last testosterone blast and it returned 4000+. I might have to delay the test or convince my doc to use LCMS. But how long should I wait if I have to? EQ half life is 14 days, I read. So a month or more? That would be a tough sell to my doc.
