Did I get underdosed test? Blood work / labs inside

Hi,

I have been on TRT at 200mg test cyp/week and started a blast roughly 8 weeks ago. On TRT, my total test usually comes back at 1300 ng/dL and free test at 30 pg/ml with E2 at 21 pg/ml without an AI.

After my first 4 weeks on blast, using 50% pharm test and 50% UGL test e I had remaining from a prior blast, I forgot to get the right total test lab, but free test was >50 pg/ml and E2 was way high at like 70 pg/ml without an AI. DHT was also slightly high despite my use of finasteride.

Now 8 weeks in, I’ve dropped the pharma and use exclusively this new batch of UGL test e. I think something may be wrong...total test came back at 1900 ng/dL and free at 37 ng/dL. E2 was 32 pg/ml but I have added an AI as I am starting a cut. DHT was low (on finasteride). This concerns me that my levels are barely above where I was on TRT, yet I’m supposedly on 2.5x the dose. Now, I did do the blood draw 4 days after my last injection...I went home and injected immediately...I pin 2x a week. So some of the potency may have been declining but still, I’m a bit suspicious.

Does this new batch seem to be really underdosed?

You need to define "Blast" dosage. Still, something is off.

Thats what I thought. Yeah, at best, UGL is under dosed.

Next time it would be best to run the test in question for the first 4 weeks alone then test.

So just run a higher dose and get bloods again in say 10 days? Does that sound like the action to take? I have my pharma I could switch back to but I would run through it quickly. Would rather determine what the amount of under dosing is on this so I can figure out what I’m dealing with and know how much I need to take to mimic a 200mg/wk and 500mg/wk dose of the pharma .

You want to really run gear that is questionable? God know what else is wrong with that bunk. Cut your losses and find another source.

Yeah I see your point, I guess this is not advisable.

Wanted to mention that only maybe 5 days prior, I donated blood. Could this have confounded the results?
