Blood Test Results - Testosterone Question

[Steve123]

Guys,

"Advice is what you ask for when you know the answer and wish you didn't" - Author

I've been taking 500mg Test each week for 6 weeks leading up to this blood work:

Testosterone: 130 ng/Dl Range: 249-836
Sex Horm Bind Glob 9 nmol/L Range: 13-71
Free Testosterone: 3.71 ng/dl Range: 6.16 - 19.40

Can anyone think of a reason other than bad gear (or no gear) that a test would reveal such results? I am trying not to condemn a supplier but this is now two tests in a row showing similar results so I'm ruling out a bad test.

I am just looking to see if anyone has had experiences with low results like this that wer efor a reaon other than bunk gear.

Thanks

Only thing that makes sense is that it's bunk.

Two blood tests in a row and both with similar results showing low testosterone .you have a bad product .most likely just oil

How are the gains tho? Is it possible it is deca or something other than test

Thats just high quality extra virgin olive oil. Which lab is it. **EDIT**

This is where my head is at. I'm wondering if maybe it's a mislabel. Honestly, I feel like I'm on EQ.

I'm actually dieting so I'm not looking for "gains" perse. I am holding muscle and my strength has not deteriorated.

So far the lab in question, a reputable source here and elsewhere, has been very engaged so I'm not going to mention names here.

This is the first time in a while that I've ramped up to 500mg. I am generally a TRT kind of guy - 125mg/ew.

did not measure E2 so I do not know.

12.5 mg Exemestane ED.

Do you ask because elevated E2 could tank Test?

 

[brutus69]

not telliing what source it is means u condone the source selling u, and other folks, garbage fake gear.

Not exactly bro, i have seen elevated e2 tank Total Test before , but never to this extent. You should be around 2500 ng/Dl

Talk to your Source bro , i would imagine there will be other bros with the same problem...

yeah, I'm talking with him. He has been very good throughout this. In this thread, I was just trying to solicit feedback on what else could be a cause. This guy has been around a while and has never steered me wrong so I would, and have, bet money that he's on the level.

Not communicating the source, given the topic at hand, means that I do not have sufficient facts to place his reputation at risk.

Misslabeled vials ?

My guess is yes but I don't know for sure yet.

 

[mike036]

My guess is yes but I don't know for sure yet.

What was the reason you checked your test levels ? Were you suspicious that the test you have been using wasn't good ? Is the source going to reimburse you for the bloodwork ?

 

[Steve123]

I get my test levels checked on a periodic basis for reasons .. Long story.
