That story about your friend paying $3000 for androgel made me laugh pretty hard. I get regular good test done. I get them for free at the VA but those don't show my Test levels so I also order some private ones for myself. My base seems to be 432 (348-1197) which is still in the box but at the lower end. I am 33 and my last cycle was a Test P only cycle. PCT was Nova/Clom/HCG. I had a blood test done 5 weeks after coming off that cycle and it showed that I was anemic so I for the last month I have added Iron and B12 vitamins into my supplement regime to bring my level back up.
