I'm 57..Ran a short 8 wk cycle. Less than 2cc a wk of test and half a cc of deca for 4 of the wks. Used proviron ED. Clomid now.
Long winded, how long should I wait for blood work. NEVER had it done. Seems everyone is.

You should have had it done before your cycle, but since you've already completed it you should have some bloods done now to see where you're at. Have a full workup so you can have the complete picture which will include your testosterone levels, liver function, kidneys, cholesterol. yada yada yada......Then if you aren't going to cycle again for awhile be sure to have some labs done PRIOR to starting again

We just did it..Ive been lucky,and agree with you 100%. I'm into wk 3 post cycle. It was a light 8 wk cycle. Want to repeat it. So probably do bloods in Oct. 8-10 wk conservative cycles work best for me. Being older,no point in going heavier. Thank you for your input. I have to research where and cost for testing.

If you live in the States look up labcorp they have offices all over the place and you can book your labs online. They test for everything including HGH and IGF levels but it also depends on what state you live in because some states are communist and don't allow it......I hear you on the old school I'm over 40 and also no longer interested in heavy training the days of 4 plates a side a long gone for me it's purely about the pump now

Which of these panels are most using?

I ask because I do not see sensitive C-reactive protein something that I suggest people look at.
Men who find decreasing libido should also get a sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG.)
Anyone with a history of increased lipids which has not been worked up should consider a test for Apolipoprotein B 100 indicating a genetic disposition for atherosclerosis.
In some people who take exogenous DHEA, more estradiol is produced, especially if TES is taken concomitently, one more reason that testing for estradiol in males is important.
