Blood work
My question reguarding blood work is this, is the amount injected linear to what your blood work should register, or is there a cut off in the test measured. An example would taking 500mgs a week, vs 1gram. The reason I ask is for this cycle I'm running 1.6 grams a week, so I'm assumeing when I do blood work it should be off the charts assuming said test is G2G. Thanks

It depends on the lab company or doctor. Most only go up to 1500nl/dl. You can shop around and find ones that measure it higher to the exact amount. Something like 300-1100 is considered the "normal range" by docs. As you said your's should be very high on that much, all the hormone panels should include your estrogen estrodial all the things that go along with that. Might as well get Rbc, liver enzymes all that good stuff too while you at it.

Just depends on the lab. Some labs will not give a reading higher then 1,500 ng/dl and some will go up over 5,000 ng/dl

These guys are on the money. The lab my doctor sends mine to goes as high as it reads. Mine was *4926

This is actually a really great question.
There isn't a direct parallel, no. I'll do the math. 200-250mg/week after a number of weeks should raise your serum testosterone levels to somewhere around the 1500ng/dl mark. ng/dl means Nanograms (1 x 10 to the negative 9th grams) per Deciliter (one tenth of a liter). That works out to be 0.000015grams per liter. depending on you're size, you have about 5-6 liters of blood in your body. lets say 6. so 0.000015 x 6 is 0.00009 grams, a much smaller number than 1.6 .... That being said, since we know that 200-250mg/week will yield roughly 1500ng/dl, there should also be a corresponding blood concentration to the amount of testosterone you're taking. But labs typically don't measure beyond 1500ng/dl.
Advice... Do 300mg of test for 6 weeks, get your blood work, and if you break 1500 I'd say you're good to go. good luck!

that sounds consistent with your dose. didn't know labs tested higher than 1500.

Thanks for the responces guys, I was planning on using privatemdlabs.com and selecting the female hormone panel.This test comes with a CMP (liver, kidney values and more), CBC (blood counts), total Testosterone, total Estrogen, LH and FSH. I think the test is 50 buck and it is anonymous. Anyone familiar with how high this test goes a far as test values?

Thanks for the responce. I have already started my cycle so the 300 mgs is a no go for now.

Damn son, how many mgs per week were you taking?
