If he is still taking it that could be the reason why his test levels are near the upper limit. It is like getting blood results while on cycle. The results will be meaningless. The proper way to do blood work is a few days or weeks after you are finished with your last dose. If the half-life is 23 hours then blood work a week later would be sufficient. This blood work does not prove it is not suppressive.
Same deal with clomid and HCGenerate. You get your blood work after your system is clear. Getting blood work too soon after your last dose is not going to be an accurate reading. You will not know if you have recovered.
Once my cycle is done and I am done with PCT I will do an OSTA cycle and get blood work done a week later. I did that with S4 and my levels were below the lower threshold. It was very suppressive for me.
very true.
But I have seen a lot of guys coming right out of pct with test in 400s or lower..
he is starting out with high test levels and high estro levels, which is a good sign for the future as estro is suppressive to hpta.
