Well here is my blood work after 7 weeks of running PPL's international Test E 750mg per week and 500mg EQ per week. Bloods were taken 46 hours after my LAST injection of running this. After every injection I have noted in the past I feel like complete shit and get terrible swelling and pip that makes training and even eating almost impossible. I tried to tough it out but this stuff is just bad. After telling PPL rep what is going on he said based on the time frame i had ordered he cant do anything about it, yet others have been sent replacements. I feel that maybe he thought I was pulling his chain or trying to get something for nothing but this is real. I've never had such a shitty fucking cycle in my entire life, in fact this was like going backwards. Looking at my RBC count even though it says high it is actually lower than my pre bloods, and my hematocrit, and hemoglobin are low too which is odd considering you would think running 500mg of EQ for 7 weeks would elevate these numbers. I mentioned maybe a month ago too that my EQ vials are labeled 500mg in pen but there was a piece of scotch tape over top of where it says 200 and blacked out with black sharpie. Maybe I was right and should always go with my gut. Who knows, at least the arimidex is apparently good looking at the blood work even though I received 92 of the 100 I had ordered, which I didnt even bother mentioning before. This cycle was a complete disappointment.

This blood work really concerns me for multiple reasons:
1) Your leukocytosis (high wbc count): Why? If there is no infection or systemic inflammatory response in close chronological proximity to this bloodwork; it doesn't make sense to me. Leukocytosis, particularly elevated neutrophils (which you have) are common with use of glucocorticoid steroids....not anabolics. Do you use prednisone, cortisone, dexamethasone, or perhaps an inhaled corticosteroid for asthma?
Pregnancy does cause leukocytosis in females; but the medical literature attributes it to the stress of pregnancy. I am unclear if possible injection of HCG could contribute.
2) The hematology makes no sense for someone on equipoise. From my understanding, it is generally accepted that EQ is the most likely compound to contribute to polycythemia. But your H&H are actually low! Did you donate or have a therapeutic phlebotomy prior to the blood work being drawn? I would have imagined the HCT in the 50s after 7 weeks of EQ at your dose.
3) Your testosterone levels are not what I would expect; but I hated endocrinology and I would defer interpretation of that to a pro. The free T being displayed as simply above range (>50) is not useful in interpretation since it could be 51 or 900. The serum total T is something I don't quite have a handle on because of the endogenous suppression with other compounds, SHBG levels, and some other factors I am sure I know less about than other people here.
With all this said, I still would have absolutely no clue if your gear is good, bad, mediocre, or what.
All I can say with certainty is that you should consider seeing a medical professional in short order to have your blood redrawn and the results examined by someone who can put eyes on you and the numbers at the same time.
This whole freakin' thread has grown to a suck factor of DEFCON 1.
