First Test-E cycle, test bloodwork @ 1850, is that normal?

[bobbyprod]

Hey guys, I am currently finishing up my 4th week of my first cycle, running Test E at 500mg/week.

I have been getting some results, but it's not to the point where I can say OK, this is definitely working so I went and got some bloodwork done. Testosterone came back around 1850 ng/dl and I already did a fair amount of research, but I have so far seen mostly unclear information and so am still trying to detemine if the level is normal considering my dosage/stage of the cycle.

Thoughts would be much appreciated.

Your test is legit but a little under dosed it looks like to me

That's what I'm thinking as well, I think I might increase it to 750

EDIT: BTW I've seen some of your posts RickRock13 and you seem well informed, what do you think is a normal range under those circumstances and to what extent does it vary among individuals?

I read somewhere that some labs only go as high as 1850ng/dl

I would be hesitant to increase to 750mg

It's 1850-ish, I don't recall the exact number but it wasn't explicitly stated on the sheet that it exceeds their values, I will research and make sure tho. BTW I live in Bulgaria, not sure if that's relevant but I had to convert the value from ng/ml.

Also, I got the blood test 3 days after my last injection, not sure if it would have made a difference.

The range they test is usually capped at 1500, but some will test higher.

If your test comes back showing your level as >1500 in a 1500 range you know you exceeded the spectrum range of the test.

Its too hard to say bro. I know a TRT test dose of 150-200mg per week usually puts people at the top of normal range or slightly over (900-1100ng/dl), so you can use that as a guide for what its worth

Thanks for the info, would appreciate more opinions. Its a bit of a dilema for me, since the test is supposedly pharmacy grade from a neighboring country and fairly cheap to begin with, but people here can be so crooked nothing would surprise me. I don't want my cycle to go to waste.

Waht/ That High!? Maybe that may have caused the increase in the BPH alone!
