Just curious about how necessary it is to be fasted for pre cycle bloodwork.. How much of an impact will it have on your bloods if not fasted?

If you want an accurate test for lipids and/or glucose levels then yes.

And how necessary are these for a cycle? Im trying to find info but having a rough time
For your cycle itself not important. For your health is a different story.
It's not that hard to fast for 8-10hrs beforehand and if it is you can always have those tested again later.

How about TT level ? Not being fasted ; you guys think will jeopardize the TT level result?
You do NOT have to fast for total test, free test and e2. You DO for lipids, cholesterol, and glucose and such
^^^^He is absolutely correct, but why wouldn't you want to have consistency in your testing from the start. After all, we're talking about your overall health and it's not difficult to fast for such a short period of time.
Although there are exceptions MUST blood work is done in a FASTING STATE bc the post-parandial state DOES effect certain blood levels OR can complicate those processes used by labs to accurately determine your values.
Bottom line, follow the instructions provided by the LAB your using to ensure the most reliable results are obtained.
