New here, hesitant to name names because unaware if this is the proper sub-forum to do so.

We name names here. We name names in every sub forum. We are the finger pointers of the industry.

You're allowed to name what labs u are running and especially to name the lab u ran for your test results.

Bumping this.

So I FINALLY found a lab that has no limit on test level results (well, the limit is 10k ng/dl, but that's plenty lol).

My question is, if my levels are not reflective of a 500mg/wk dose, is there any point in bumping it up this late into my cycle (7.5 weeks in, will be running test prop for 3 weeks after I'm done with the enanthate)?

Will post results when they come in.

Unless the product was made by a moron you should not have underdosed Test E. That's the cheapest product for them to make and easy to test for. Any lab selling underdosed Test E would be cutting off their own head... to save pennies.

Does anyone read the basics of ordering blood work 8 days in is way to soon

There's plenty of UG labs that sell underdosed Test E...and dbol. Which is even cheaper.

Never ever ever accept blood work over the PHONE. Regardless if your lab has implemented max ranges for certain hormones, ALWAYS ask for a PAPER print out of blood work, if for no other reason to reference specific values later on.

That's like doing a boyz trip to Thailand and finding out you caught the hiv over the phone!!! NOT COOL

Just got the results from my bloodwork from last week, and I'm worried my test e is underdosed. I got my blood drawn about 36 hours after my third pin, and my total testosterone is at 1500 ng/dl (normal range = 348-1097 ng/dl). My tested natural test (pardon the pun) is 450 ng/dl.

Cycle details:
- 500mg/week (1cc Sun AM, 1cc Wed PM) for 12 weeks
- 0.5mg arimidex e3d
- Have nolva/clomid for pct (nolva 20/20/20/20; clomid 50/50/50/50 - 2 weeks after last pin)

So far I've noticed oily skin and increased libido.

My question is: should I up the dose to 3cc/week, or is it too early to assume my gear is underdosed?

Hold on, did you get a test that goes above 1500 ng/dL? Because that number seems too round. You may be above that level but unless you pay for the test that goes above 1500 it won't show it.

My first test capped off at 1500. I just got another test yesterday that goes up to 10,000. I fucked up by not reading the ENTIRE sticky on getting bloodwork from the get-go.

Results finally came in. Apparently they had to re-test for some reason, so it took over a week. Blood was taken ~72 hours after pin (not ideal, I know). I'm pretty happy with the results. What do you guys think?

FYI, I posted results from my other blood test with e2/fsh/lh in a different thread. E2 is under control. This test was strictly for my actual test levels.

Yeah I realize now that I should've waited . Still going to get bloods done this week to check my e2/FSH/LH levels.

Are you showing any sides? If not, then don't freak out about checking your e2.

Assays with a predetermined threshold such as yours OP almost always involve IMMUNOASSAY technology .

This form of testing uses a binder agent and once the binder is saturated (the lab KNOWS the MINIMAL amount required for saturation) the result is typically reported as the MINIMAL FIXED numerical value.

The most reliable means of avoiding this problem in the future is to ensure you select an assay that involves the use of LC/MS technology.

OR better yet when in doubt CALL THE LAB!

This is a common error bc the first thing most will note when ordering essentially any lab test is the COST, and for many that's what their selection is based upon COST.

Thank you for posting

I was (and still am) on 0.5mg adex e3d, and Dr. Jim suggested I get bloods to see if it was necessary (correct me if this is inaccurate, Doc).
