Hey guys plan to get a test done soon to see how high my test levels are. Been on homemade test prop from an iffy powder source and just want to see how high my levels are.
My question: How high will labcorb test the testosterone serum levels? Or is it just hit and miss on location whether they will show anything higher than 1500?
I hate to ask this or ask for them to not cap the testosterone serum lol that will be very suspicious.....
I've been on prop for about 6 weeks now and just recently upped dosage from ~700gram to ~1gram a week. Been on ~1gram a little over a week now. I know its not the ideal way to test but not completely useless right? Especially if they will show results on testosterone serum levels over 1500.
Any thoughts or will I be wasting my time?
Most go to 1500. It is hit or miss in terms of which test higher than that. Personally I would have no problem asking the lab what is requires to get a reading above 1500. These labs have to maintain strict confidentiality when dealing with lab results. They aren't going to call up your local sheriff and report you for "possibly having unnaturally high testosterone". That said, you need to do what is comfortable abd appropriate for you.
Not to mention, if you are following protocol, you don't need a lab that goes over 1500.
You are on a gram a week, and if you get a lab corp test right now, it will only be able to tell you 2 things about your hormone levels: first, whether or not there is testosterone in the product and second, if your AI is controlling your estrogen. The test will also tell you if you liver and kidneys are functioning normally. It's always good to get checked on cycle, and even though we may not get the added benefit of seeing the really high T numbers, there are a host of other reason you should do it.

I would would just tell them I need an actual count your paying them
Thanks gsr and vicious. This is why I asked. Always something someone else will think of that I didnt. Would be nice to know about my ai as well. I'll see what I can get figured out thanks guys!
Well my lab corp went higher so it really is hit or miss
Yea some members have gotten labs w actual numbers and gone back to the same lab corp and got the 1500 cap I guess it's just the luck of the draw but I've heard u can just tell tem i want an exact number and they should do it
The next time I get bloods Im just going to ask them to list the actual numbers.Completely forgot this last go around
As Intense mentioned, you can ask some if they test above 1500 or request it sometimes.
im 22 and i tell my doctor i flat out use nothing has happen to me yet.
Oh this thread needs updating. With any lab, you can select an "lc/ms-ms" testosterone test. This will remove the 1500ng/dl cap, but will cost more than the standard test.

How much is the standard test?
The regular "female hormone panel" that most of us seem to use is only $60, while the solo testosterone-only test with lc/ms-ms is $90 all by itself. This is before applying the 15% coupons which are always available (privatemdlabs).
