When to have blood drawn???

[JMaxwell]

Ok, I just got my order to go get my six week blood work done. I read through the threads and it seems like timing of when to have blood drawn is more important with short esters than long esters...right? I am only running Test E, and EQ. I pin every Monday and Thursday mornings. I was going to have blood drawn Friday morning. Does that sound like that will work??? I just don't want to go get the blood work done, then ask questions and find out I didn't time something properly and wasted my test. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You want to have it done as close to as you can to your next injection. So either late Wednesday night or very early Thursday morning before you inject. Make sure you get a blood panel that has uncapped testosterone AND estrogen as well. A blood test that comes back at >1500 doesn't tell you anything.

Thank you, I am glad I ask. I would have gone in on Friday. I guess I will have to wait until Monday morning. I didn't fast tonight thinking I was going in on Friday. I understand I am supposed to fast 12 hours prior correct? Ol well. I did order the Hornone panel for females with free & total Test LC/MS-MS. Says will provide actual levels when Test is >1500. It says it includes Estradiol Sensitive, FSH, LH, Test, Free with total test, LC/MS-MS, CBC. I believe that is the one you are talking about. Thank you for taking the time to post a reply.

A female hormone pannel is NOT the one you want. It will just show your test levels are >1500 but won't give you the actual number. Its a waist!!! You want the HORMONE PANEL WITH TESTOSTERONE LC/MS-MS it's $85.99 before the 15% discount and gives you full and complete information.

This one is $106.99....does it not include everything you just listed? It states it shows actual number...

It is titled "Hormone panel with Estradiol sensitive and Testosterone LC/MS-MS"

Yes that's what he said. It's not a waste..... his will give accurate levels above 1500.

Same here that's the test I always get.

His test he ordered is fine. As long as it says lc/ms-ms it doesn't matter which one. Unless he wants other stuff then he needs to make sure it's included but for the test any showing that will give > 1500. It's the normal female one that won't.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of your help. When I get results I will be starting a new thread getting advice again I am sure. Thanks again!!!
