Purity source labs vs. blood work

[FullHavels]

Hello,

First time AAS user. Did some before/after blood work and worried that my gear is underdosed.

Taking 500mg of test-E/wk (250mg E3.5D). Also adex and 500 IU of HCG/wk (250 IU E3.5d)

Before:

451 ng/dl serum test

After 8 injections (4 weeks):

1164.5 ng/dl serum test (Free+Total LC/MS) 35.7 pg/mL free test (direct)

I did some googling and people usually report concentrations in the 2000-3000 ng/dl range. I also saw it's common for people to claim that PSL is underdosed. On the other hand, I also understand that making test-E is so cheap that no one would ever bother to underdose it.

My bodyweight is significantly heavier than average, so I'm wondering if that affects blood concentrations. Ex, 175lb vs 300lb might be expected to have different levels given the same dosage.

Thoughts appreciated. I just need to figure out if I should switch sources or if the blood work is in normal ranges.

That does seem low. My total test comes back ~1200 on 200mg test cyp and 500iu HCG taken weekly for TRT.

Wondering the same thing ...

Yeah, it's interesting.

I ordered some masteron from PSL this last weekend but my money transfer hasn't been picked up and I'm starting to get concerned. If it wasn't the week of Christmas, I'd really be concerned right now. My other nagging concern is that it's actually masteron and dosed appropriately. Otherwise, should it end up being testosterone, I'm concerned about how my blood work comes back for my TRT doctor. I'll be running some independent labs before I do my regularly ordered labs, though, and I'm trying to remain optimistic. This is my first order with them and I'm trusting the words of the guys on this forum.

Hard to find a reliable source nowadays online I guess

I was interested in sust 500 from psl hoping mods/admins can guide us a bit on this.
