First time blood work

[Random1111]

Just got my blood work done for the first time. I got a “total testosterone kit” and this is all the report showed. Just that my test is greater than 1500.

I pin Monday and Thursday 600 test 400 DECA and tbis test was done Wednesday two days after a pin.

Should I be worried that it’s so high?

Is this a serious question?

Worried?! Dude. You need to read up on what you're injecting in your body and what it does to your body bc you clearly have no clue.

You're injecting your self with 600mg a week of testosterone! YES it IS going to be higher than 1500.

500mg of test a week puts my total test at 4800. I'm a high responder and everyone responds differently but on 600mg of test assuming your testosterone is from a quality lab yours should be 3000 +

You bought a capped test. You need a total test lab panel without the 1500 cap to actually see what yours is. So essentially the total test lab you bought is useless to actually see what yours is. All we know is it's higher than 1500.

Thank you and yes I assumed from reading up on stuff that it would be above 1500 but I thought my test was going to be more than one line and say >1500

I meant worried by the fact that I don’t know what my actual levels are not that it’s >1500.

how do I go about getting an uncapped test?

I switched to a different brand this cycle and I’m not feeling the effects/gains as much as my last cycle so I got the test to make sure it was actually working and was left with oh it’s >1500.

Gotcha! If you use private MD labs online and go to a lab Corp or Quest it's called Testosterone total LC/MS for the uncapped version and the description should reflect the no cap.

I would 100% get a new test and see what your total test actually is. I'd also get an estrogen ultra sensitive to see what your estrogen is.

Apologies to you for misunderstanding your question initially.

Screen shot shows the title with LC/MS in the title which = no cap

Thank you! Big help.

Please don’t shoot me for asking this but when I get the total results from this one, is there something in these results that I will need to monitor. Like if result A, or result B is too high that is bad?

Sorry I don’t know anything about blood work

In terms of? Testosterone? No.

There is a lot of stuff in blood work you need to monitor if health, being optimal, longevity and the least side effects possible is a priority for you. I'd suggest you hire a knowledgeable coach that can help you with your lab results, dosages, side effect management, ancillary drug protocols, DIET, training routines, PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) etc

As far as specific lab items to look at: Hemoglobin, hematocrit, estrogen, prolactin, ALT, AST, Creatinine, GFR, just to name a few.

good thread posted about methods for getting bloods on the cheap

Cheap BLOODWORK - How to get it without Insurance

These methods do not work in NY, NJ, MA, MD or RI. You'll have to ask your doctor for bloods if you live there, because of local laws. Or get an online doc to make the request for you, see https://www.directlabs.com/access/Home/tabid/10599/language/en-US/Default.aspx FIRST METHOD (BEST, BUT...

I’d get full bloodwork if you’re pulling blood again. Estradiol, Test total and free, prolactin, blood count etc. How long have you been running these compounds? Are you using an Ai?

If it’s your first time doing labs, that means you don’t know what your numbers were with the other brand you were using, so won’t be able to tell if there’s any difference from this gear to the other. At least you’ll know if it’s properly dosed and have a baseline as to where your numbers are at those dosages. I’d be more focused on the other tests if I were you. Knowing you’re over 1500 already at least you know it’s not all the way bunk.
