On TRT but still low test

[saudades]

Complete bro science to me but my Doc (TRT specialist) recommended changing esters every 6-12 months. He said the body gets very efficient at cleaving and clearing esters after awhile. I switched from Cyp to Enanthate and my levels jumped 400ng/mL under the same test conditions. Now I alternate every 6 months.

That may be it. I've always been on test cyp. Now if I could only convince my doc to do that...

Ive been fine on 100 mg/wk now going on 9 years with my endocrinologist. Never had to switch esters etc.

I would hope that QC at American based pharmaceutical companies wouldn't allow such to occur.

Could you imagine if the hormones in birth control was underdosed?

I am seeing repeated posts on facebook from people who are on prescription TRT who are saying they are coming back with low testosterone levels in their bloodwork. There seems to be some kind of accusations that Watson and other pharmacy brands are severely underdosed. Ive seen this on facebook at least 4 times in the last month from different people....including one who is a member here at pro muscle.

Something is going on

So glad you posted this. 400mg Watson e8d put me at 891..
I'd always test 2.5 days after administering.

That is pretty crazy. Should not be like that.

I will be testing again in the next week or two. Same 400mg...same ai administration...different batch I believe.

google low sbhg and trt..

you will see that those who have low sbhg dont respond as well to higher, infrequent dosing schedules..

if such is the case, you may want to spread your dosing throughout the week..

Doggcrapp might be on to something here. It is scary and frustrating to think that even US pharm grade gear might be under dosed.
