      When to have bloods during cycle

      Well I did a search, and read a few sticky articles regarding bloodwork, but I couldn't find suggestions to when to actually have blood tests done before/during/after a cycle. I think it would be interesting to know my actual testosterone levels pre-cycle so I will probably try and get some bloods pre-cycle, however would it only really be needed maybe twice during the cycle? (I mean obviously more is better, but the tests cost money through private labs!)

      So for my cycle which I will begin today of Test E 583mg/Deca 233mg week - would I have bloods after 5 weeks at the beginning of week 6 to make sure the compounds are working and are at a suitable level, and that my estrogen control plan is working? Until then I'd obviously be using nipple detection which isn't a good method. Then perhaps a month later at the beginning of week 10 test again to make sure everything is still on track?

      Then say I run this cycle for 12 weeks, would I test 4 weeks after cycle, or after my two weeks PCT?

      I am interested in running 875mg then 729mg a week of test for the first two weeks for a bit of frontload, but I don't want boobs so the estrogen control has to be on point and monitored properly. The Deca is only being used because I've had two knee operations last year and have some niggling problems with my shoulder rotator cuffs which affect me on the bench (I don't bench much anymore because of this).

      You need to run labs before your cycle to get baseline numbers. Plan your cycle with the correct ancillaries and run labs mid way then you can adjust your ancillaries. Finally run labs 6-8 weeks after pct to determine how close you are to the baseline numbers

      I've just booked in to the docs now to test my thyroid and test levels... I have been trying to lose weight so my first bloods might be free!

      Thanks kubes, I had my bloods yesterday and today got most of the results back! All bulk billed through public health, gotta love that. Anyway I'll have to private lab the next set =)

      I'll run bloods again after 5 weeks of being on which will be at the beginning of week 6. That should give me a good idea of my test levels/estrogen control.
      Perhaps it would be good to do them at the end of week 10 also? Just to double check that Estrogen and any other sides/personal health is all in control?

      When to have bloods during cycle

      I think week 5 is fine. I don't think week 10 is really needed as you will be ending the cycle soon. No hurt to it but the post pct labs will be important to see if you have recovered. Just remember the real recovery starts after pct is finished so wait 4-6 week to run labs after pct is finished

      ^^^This. If you are ending week 12 and everything is going as planned not much point in testing at week 10, but No harm in doing it. The more you can get bloods the better. I know some people who get them atleast once a month.

      If you are in the US, and not living in a nanny state that says you cannot eat salt or big gulps, you can buy your blood tests for very cheap from privatemdlabs.com. Make sure to sign up for their newsletter first, they will send you a 15% off coupon code if you do. Buy the Hormone Panel for Women (it is good for men too). It will give you a CBC, check your glucose, check your HPTA axis and testosterone level, AND give you basic E2 level. ANd if you use the coupon code, it is only about $58.

      I should have also added, if you want to know your total testosterone level and you are sure it is above 1200, then go to LabsMD - Simple and Secure Lab Tests Online and get their hormone panel for females test. It is about $78 but it has no top end on testosterone level reporting.
