+ 5 Underdosed TEST E, what should I do ?

ad

Hi Guys,

So, it's week 8th - Blood tests came back crap! TEST just above baseline ( around 41nmol/L).
I'm running HCG 500IU Weekly. No signs of shut down, sides, etc (obvs). Just a considerable strength improvement!
Question is: Shall I end the cycle and bother with PCT?
Shall I start a new cycle (I really feel like doing another one from the scratch as this is one borderline).

Thanks!

plus 3 for pulling blood work.

I hate to hear it for you, but I am glad that you ran bloods at week eight and caught it. I agree with the folks below and advise you to jump off now and run a full and proper PCT. Even though your levels are way below where they should be, your natural production will still be shut down. If you try to start another one now PCT will be much tougher as you will be recovering from a 20 week shutdown instead of an eight week shutdown (assuming you were to start a 12 week cycle).

Also, if the source is shady enough to sell gear that was that under dosed, chances are they are not very particular about sterilization and other quality control metrics.

The actual Pct alone will launch your test levels - gainzzzz

Throw the towel in on this one. PCT, recover and find some better gear for next run. You have already been shut down for 8 wks so no point in prolonging a botched up cycle any longer. Much healthier and safer alternative is to fully recover and then start over.

You should have at least made some gains. What have you gotten out of it so far?

I wouldn't continue on. The sooner you end this the sooner you can get back on a proper dosed cycle. You have made some gains so it wasn't a total disaster.

Not worth it. If your levels are low you’re essentially gonna have them on the uptick and then cut them off, not giving them time to peak and level out. Save it for next run.

First you should our your your foot in whoever ass sold it to you. Then buy a better brand. In the meantime do pct as planned. Give your body a chance to restart on it's own. Still need some time off unless trt. Then start over same cycle

Sad thing is that particular brand isn't really much cheaper than highly reputable stuff. Maybe $5 bucks per vial cheaper, if that. Read a few reviews on the brand and the consensus is the brand is notorious for being underdosed, ALL their products.

With that said I forget to add..to the author....slap yourself for not researching reviews about specific product before buying.

RangerVet's picture

Geez! I didn't know the brand but you found that out pretty quick. Somebody bought something that he didn't research much I guess...and the price just tops it off lol

herpjunkie111's picture

Guess what my first rookie aas mistake was - I bought some of the exact same shit myself, then researched it.....

Over $150 down the toilet.

I've since trashed it all knowing there's not much point in running underdosed gear. I want 100% potency or close as I can get or its just a waste of time and pins....

Now you know my shame :( LOL.

Shame...lol...you don't get shame until your buying boron..or cybergenics(1991 or so) for hundreds of dollars and realize you just bought vitamins

I've spent a few bucks on some BS from gnc, so I can't say anything.

herpjunkie111's picture

Yeah, well apparently they put all their money in packaging and a pretty box and vial and didn't have money left over to spring for decent ingredients....

Do you know what carrier oil they use? Olive oil.

Happens buddy. Good lesson learned

He's got his bloodwork up in the pics section from earlier today, it is really low for that dosage. I guess the issue here with him "starting over" is the amount of time his axis is offline due to shutdown, and the longer he stays on the harder it will be to restart? I'm on trt so not well versed in pct.

Even if it’s low it’s still exogenous test, so endogenous test production would be shot. Better safe than sorry as always.
