PEP's Test e, 1st cycle ever.

In the big picture, It's not THAT big of a deal, especially because it's your first cycle. Most people recommend staying safe at a decent dose the first time around...and that's what you've done, whether you meant to or not. And the fact that you've been sick/out of the gym a good bit makes a strong case for a second cycle once you recover fully from this one.
 
I'm already thinking and planning my 2nd cycle, short esters!
unless things really turn around soon this is feeling like a waste of time.
at least I got some practice pinning.......

I'm sorry to hear you're running PEPs gear...especially as a first cycle. I've heard bad reviews of his gear lately. On top of that, he won't PM me anymore since the bad reviews.

I wont pm you? Maybe because you havent contacted me! So sorry if I hurt your feelings because im not thinking about you and didn't feel the need to shoot the shit with you
 
Finally starting to feel better after two good nights sleep. weight is 199lbs.
I worked out twice last week and ended up regretting it, made me feel more run down and sick plus I was sore for days after. All my coughing threw 4 ribs out so my back was also killing me and it hurt to breath. Visited the chiropractor this morning and he fixed everything up nice. I'm anxious to get back in the gym, feeling like I should wait another day but I don't know if I can. the lack of exercise makes my legs and back so tight it pulls all the way up into my neck and gives me headaches. not working out makes me feel three times my age. that's what you get with you break your whole body I guess.
 
so I just setup my blood test for tomorrow morning. I opted to just do the Female Hormone Panel first. I did this for a couple reasons; First, I'm supposed to do a test e injection today so I don't want to get the "Test, Total, Women, Children and Hypo Males { LC/MS-MS }" tomorrow morning as I feel it would be skewed, I'll reschedule it for later this week, maybe Thursday or Friday.
can anyone tell me what the optimal time after last injection is to get an accurate testosterone reading during you're cycle?

2nd reason I didn't order the "Test, Total, Women, Children and Hypo Males { LC/MS-MS }" today is because I don't feel jack shit right now from this cycle and I wouldn't be surprised if my testosterone came back under 1500.....hope I'm wrong.
 
irish, looking forward for your results. I havent done any bloodwork myself since the nearest lab is almost 60 miles away from me.
 
got my labs back.
RBC 5.84 HIGH 4.14-5.80 x10E6/uL
Hematocrit 53.3 HIGH 37.5-51.0 %
Creatinine, Serum 1.30 HIGH 0.76-1.27 mg/dL
Testosterone, Serum >1500 HIGH 348-1197 ng/dL
LH 0.1 LOW 1.7-8.6 mIU/mL
FSH <0.2 LOW 1.5-12.4 mIU/mL
Estradiol 127.5 HIGH 7.6-42.6 pg/mL

I'm going back in a couple hours to get more blood drawn to get an actual testosterone value.

Estradiol is very high, I'd think that would tell me a lot, maybe someone with more knowledge on this subject could chime in.......

I'm also going to go donate blood as my RBC is high.

Your high estradiol is why you are tired sluggish and without libido. I would check where your AI came from because it isn't working like it should. However, take my advice with a grain of salt because I am not familiar with estradiol levels while on cycle.
 
I've not really been taking any AI's lately, I wanted to see where my estradiol would be with minimal interference. I just took 25mg and I'm going to take one pill (12.5mg) every day for a few days then cut back to eod.

As Oregon said, your T level is likely very high given the rest of your numbers. No liver bloods?

Personally, I'm a big believer in slow and steady with equal or longer breaks between cycles as a balance. No judgement just don't forget about balance in your health goals.
 
I will lower my dose if the numbers are indeed very high, the only reason I've been on 1 gram of test e is because I wasn't feeling anything, figured I'd raise the dose for a while, see if things change. also, bkent504's labs and some others complaints of not feeling peps testosterone....

are these the liver values?
AST (SGOT) 28 0-40 IU/L
ALT (SGPT) 28 0-44 IU/L

seems a little odd that they are both 28??

Liver looks good. Good on you for being diligent, getting bloods, and making balanced decisions.

Will be interested to see your T numbers.

You got a great liver ! [:o)]
 
on a random side not:
there was a woman at LabCorp who was getting labs done, or rather going to get labs done til they told her that they weren't sure if Medicare would cover her labs.....
long story short, I looked up her blood work codes on Private MD Labs and what they wanted to charge her over $600 for was $110, after the 15% off even less.
LabCorp are criminals with those prices!
I couldn't believe the difference.
I also looked back and the tests I got at a health fair before my cycle cost me almost 3 times what they did with Private MD Labs...

I love this forum for all the information it's provided!
