Suspect need opinions.

[ergo]

I had a blood draw on 05/17 for a H and H as my priors have never been below 18. The results were 16.9 and 50 not requiring a therapeutic draw. I have never been in range. From 05/13 to 05/16 I took 1200mg EQ and a gram of test. I'm suspect of my EQ. This is a new brand. Any opinions?

Possibilities...
Under dosed.
not EQ.
Body is acclimating.

Send it to Jano for testing if you’re suspicious of the gear. It’s cheaper than most bloodwork.


Also could be your body acclimating?

It’s got an undecylenate ester, half life of 14 days. I think just wait a bit.

Equipoise is dirt cheap. I'd be surprised at a fake but who knows. Ester takes a long time too.

Sometimes it's hydration.

Maybe the finger prick test machine was out of calibration.

I used to do therapeutic phlebotomy. Not needed nearly as often now that I've addressed sleep apnea. The finger tests were often off 3-4 pts higher vs a real lab sample draw on the same day. This when even when the machine was recalibrated within a day or so. Maybe poor circulation in finger tips for me. Who knows but they didn't nearly match even controlling hydration etc.

Now I just use quest or labcorp real numbers and I do self phlebotomy at home if needed. Weird for many I know but 5+ years here and I'm generally better than the pros at this point. Though if I didn't have large and visible veins I'd likely not do it.

Just to throw in my 2 cents...
While I totally agree with this statement, one time 100% for sure I got fake EQ.
I know it's cheap, maybe the UGL just didn't have the raws and didn't want to take EQ off the menu? Who knows but what I got was for sure test labeled as EQ.

Dragon Pharma... haven't had a lot of faith in that label for a while. I'm sure the actual company is up to snuff but I think there are just too many fakes of their products out on the market. Got some d-bol labeled as DP anavar in the same shipment as well, prob about 8 years ago. When it rains it pours...

H&H are easily affected by volume status. Say you took 1-2 days rest and drank a lot of water you might dilute your blood just enough to drop your hemoglobin
