Just got bloodwork back.....Mods help out!

[AllPLAYA]

I have done a couple mild cycles since I was 20. I am 24 and was completely off for four months when I got my testosterone serum levels tested....
These are the results...
Free 78.6pg/ml
%Free (High) 2.85%
Total......... 276ng/dL

That total is almost hypogonadal.
What sucks is I just started A 400cyp 400EQ cycle on 1/17
I am kicking myself for not waiting for these results. (I got tested on 1/16, results came today)
I really really do not want to go on any external test (presrcibed or not) to cure this
I want to boost my endogenous levels back up
Should I just quit this right now...wait 10 days...then do a bunch of Clomid and get tested say a month later.
Any advice would be helpful.
I am hoping that maybe this is just the result of overtraining?
As far as current cycle goes I know it has effected my natural levels becuase my boys have gone hibernating for the winter if you know what I mean.
Maybe I should just drop the EQ (I dont really like it anyway) and run the test for four more weeks to see some solid gains and then huge Clomid/tribulus/arimidex therapy for a month..

I HAVE POSTED THIS A MILLION TIMES..DO YOUR BLOOD TESTING BEFORE YOU START ANY CYCLE...THE REASONS ARE OBVIOUS.

if you just started can you just stop

 

[DrJMW]

Of course you can stop. It's just a waste of gear.

How do you know what your levels are naturally? What is normal for you? Is there a chance that your test levels were always low?

 

[AllPLAYA]

Dr.J-- I know I know

My levels might have always been low.....I do get pretty good gains off of small amount of AS...
I know I am an idiot for starting before I got my results back but..... there was no reason for concern then....my libido was fine and I was was making slow but solid natural gains. The only reason I got tested was because I was at the doctor for a physical anyway and it was a free test.

My basic question is this...has anyone had low test results and then took clomid/trib/arimidex and then gotten tested again?

 

[Nickerbocker]

to those of use that do not know what all of those stats mean on the inital post can you please explain what it means and what it should say if you were at normal levels....this is new stuff to me

I did a 14 wk cycle last year and took hcg was on clomid for 4wks. Then I had my blood tested and found my test level was still very very low. Don't remember the figure but I do remember that my number was at the range of a 60 year old man. So I continued with clomid for another 3 wks, uping the dose to 100/day. Then I went back for another blood test. This time it's just slightly higher from last but still very low.

I did the same thing as you, started on a new cycle before the test result came back because I just couldn't wait. My weight was dropping then along with muscle mass. Let's just hope my natural hasen't shutdown permanently.

Explanation--
Free means amount of testosterone free in the blood to bind to androgen receptors (Not bound to SBHG) Should be 60-210
% free means how much percentage out of total is unbound
should be 1-2 . Mine was high percentage wise I guess
Total is the big number --the total amount of testosterone per deciliter of your blood
normal range 250-1000
mine was 276 I am 24 years old hence the concern

well if the ranges you are reporting are correct (often depends on the lab conducting the test, then you are within the normal range, probably slightly low for a 24 year old, but considering you AS usage you are probably on track.

I would also guess to say it depends on how heavy and how frequently your cycles have been. You MUST give you bod time to recover it's own test. production betwwen cycles. This length of time may differ in some people.

I would recommend waiting a bit longer from you AS use to your test next time.

just my $.02:
