Thread: Test/Lab work Q's for the experts (You know who you are)

4 weeks on it solo would be a good measure but to compare to previous labs you must use similar dosing and timing of the blood draw in relationship to your pinning.

Deca does NOT raise T levels so it is not part of the equation.

Thanks Heavy... My Total T was at 231 prior to any HRT. After about 6-8 weeks @ 250mg/EW, my labs were 1198. Based on that alone, I wanted to see where I am on this particular Test at 200mg/EW by itself. My opinion is, I think I should be at least around 800 (Min.). If I'm lower, I'll know this stuff is considerably under-dosed. If 800 or more, my thinking is, it's fairly good. So I'll wait 4 weeks and then get lab work done on the last day before my next pin.

Pin 250mg weekly for a comparison. Make sure you get labs exactly the same number of days after your pin as last time.

Will do. Thanks for the info.

HI... I'm going to get my labwork done in a few minutes. I've been pinning 250mg/EW for 4 weeks now. I'm getting Total/Free T and E2 checked. I basically want to see where my T is to prove/disprove if the gear I have is bunk/underdosed. What range would you expect to see my Total T at if the gear is OK? Shortly after I started my own HRT, I was dosing at 250mg/Week and tested at 1292. My natural T was at 231 before this. So my hopes are to be in the 900-1300 range (preferably closer to 1000+).

Thanks for the help, brotha...

It depennds on when you inject in relation to the draw. Blood androgen levels spike rapidly with C or E and slowly fall off within 10 days.

I injected Monday Morning. Next injection is supposed to be tonight. Same exact way I got my labwork the last time.

Bump...

I went ahead and ran my HRT dose of Test Cyp at 200mg/Week. I already had them drawn and I figured, I was mainly wanting to see the potency of my gear. I ran this dose since my last injection on cycle was Jan/17. So about 4 weeks at 200mg/Week. I got the lab work on Thursday around noon. My previous dose was on Monday morning around 6am. So that's basically 3.5 days since last inject when the blood was taken.

Got my lab work in:

Total T - 999 ng/dL
Free T - 58.2 pg/mL
E2 - 39.4 pg/mL

I guess everything looks pretty good except I probably need to up my aromasin dose (Which is currently 10-12.5mg/EOD)

There's one other variable. I've been running the last of my D-Bol. Would that cause fluctuations in T or E2? I injured myself in the final week of cycle and that left me about 2 weeks left of the D-Bol, so I went ahead and started it last Monday. I did not take any D-Bol on the day bloodwork was taken. The last dose I had taken was Monday at 10:30am (40mg)

Your T is obviously real.

I just wanted to make sure the D-Bol wasn't skewing the test results.

I should try to keep my E2 in the 25-30 range, correct? I was planning on just upping to 10mg/ED

Thanks for your advices...

Yes, to what degree is unknown but not to the point of where your test levels are.

3 days off the d-bol is what I am reading. Should not have effected the labs.

Yeah, if your sex drive is still good and no other E2 sides I would say you are ok.

I used it for the first 7-8 weeks of my cycle and it seemed GTG (but I didn't get any labs to prove this out). Anywho... I'm using this same test now for HRT. How many weeks should I wait to get labwork to get a good idea of the quality of this Test? I was think 3-4 weeks. It's a 50mL jug... I think it's fine and I certainly hope it is. It will suck to find out I have that much canola oil.

At least you can add some flavor to your salad.
