Low Test levels on 550mg/wk

[ackmack78]

Hey so I'm dealing with this and trying to figure out what the hell is going on, if it's under dosed gear or could be something else. I was 12 weeks into my cycle and I'm on 550 mg/wk Test C in gso split into 2 shots. Took my 275mg shot & got labs done 24 hours later and pulled a 1668ng/dl which is super low for that much test. 2 years ago on this exact same dose and protocol I pulled a 3360, almost exactly double.

Is there anything that could explain this besides under dosed gear? Could there be something going on in my body that would explain it?

The vendor who I won't name is super reputable on here but I don't have testing for this specific batch. The weird thing is the last time I pulled trt labs in August my total test numbers were also almost exactly half of what I expected then to be. I was using a different but also super reputable supplier Goodlyfe who did have batch testing on his product showing it was accurately dosed. I chalked the TRT results up to it being MCT oil and it releasing faster. But now I've been using GSO for this whole cycle.

Dude, you already have a thread created for this

Thread 'Test in Mct Oil - Levels Drop Fast?'

Sep 1, 2025

Just got my blood work back for my TRT dose and my test levels came back at 675 when they're usually 1250-1475 at the same dose. Only change is I'm using Test C but in Mct Oil this time.

My total weekly dose is 220mg split into 2 shots. I always inject Wed and Sat morn and get tested at trough before Wed injections. The last 3 years, testing multiple times a year, I've either used TRT compounded (sometimes GSO or cottonseed) or Stans Test cyp in grapeseed oil and my total test is always 1250-1475, my highest total came back on Stans Test C.

I've been avoiding MCT because it bothers me...

Ya but the situation now is different. Tried to post the new situation there and didn't get much traction because it's so different than the thread title

Test your gear. No point in guessing. Send a sample to analiza

 

[BlackVeil]

Have you jano tested the testosterone?

No?

Quit making threads.

.... how is asking us to guess about your problems going to solve the problem?

If you think your gear is underdosed, test it, or get new gear.... and test it

Those are the only answers in this scenario

*** what super reliable vendor on there doesn't have testing for their testosteron?

Not that vendor tests are the end all. But every "super reliable" vendor I've seen on here has a jano to show something.

Any reason to not name the vendor? There are some “reputable“ vendors here that have had issues recently. One of which was under-dose product.

I got this back in 2024 and I don't feel comfortable name dropping the vendor since I don't have a jano report. I didn't mind name dropping the previous vendor since he's retired and had batch testing I could point to

 

[Elektrobot]

since I don't have a jano report

You don't have it, or they didn't have it to give you?

The vendor doesn't do batch testing.

I'm not saying it's not a possibility. Searching around I've also seen some people mentioning when they run a cycle of test and primo their total test is lower than when they're just running trt but they're free t is like 3x as high because their shbg is way lower.

I overlooked it somehow in my first post but I was running 200 eq and 200 deca alongside the test when I got labs and had just finished up a 3 week run of tren and 2 week run of anadrol the week before

You are thinking in circles instead of taking action to find the solution.

You've spent months asking and wondering about this

What's keeping you from spending $35 to get a bottle of tested Testosterone, or test what you already have?

You bought gear from a vendor that doesn't test their own stuff, and are asking us to answer your curiosity?

Occam's razor

 

[k710]

Your supposed to test your levels at trough.. not the day after your pin especially pinning twice a week. Take your labs right before your next dose. After bloodwork you can take your test shot. Also check your supplements/medications and also skip them the day of blood work till after you draw blood.

Check if vendor with no testing will reimburse you for sending your product out for testing. Or dump it and start with a tested source.

Hope that helps.
