Bloodtest Ranges

[Decreased_Entropy]

I have seen several peoples labs on here that show the test range all the way up in the 5000's, mine only ever shows 1500+. I use privatemdlabs is there another lab that supports higher ranges or something I can do to get mine shown above the 1500 mark?

It's really just a curiosity thing but it would be good to know.

Thanks

I never get the "confirmed by dilution" results either and always see >1500 on my labs. I know some of the guys that get the actual numbers use privatemdlabs too, but I think its up to which lab that actually does the testing for labcorp that determines how the results are handled. It's probably a regional thing.

Damn that's not what I wanted to hear. Do you think trying a different location would help? There are several close but I always go to the same one. Or do the just send it to the same regional lab?

Pretty sure it's a regional lab deal.

Go to your doctor

With supraphysiological levels of testosterone? Uhh.. No thanks. I don't need insurance knowing of my "hobby", nor would I recommend that to anyone else either.

if they are over 1500 isn't that good enough lol why bother..... what is normal range 200-450? your over 3x the norm

The range varies from lab to lab, but most are 348-1197 or so. I agree that knowing you're above the reference is nice, but come on - seeing 5,000ng/dL is at least good for placebo!

I agree I have no intention or reason to involve my personal doctor! But yea I just want to see the actual number and use it to establish the perfect dose and test the potency of different gear.

it depends, if you really wanna know how good your stuff is. Like 750mg/week Vs. 500mg/week
