Mid-Cycle Bloodwork Protocols and Values

Test prop / mast prop / tren ace cycle. When would be optimum time for bloodwork being they are all short esthers? Also, how long after last pin? Grazie
a week is fine, next day if you're pinning eod will give you half-max level. prop is tougher than enanthate or cyp to time. check http://steroidplot.com/ and throw in 150 mg prop eod, you'll see what i mean.

for post cycle, use privatelabsmd, female hormone panel, will give you everything you need. i think it's $52, and @BIGMESC always has the monthly coupon up.

dbol may affect e2 level, won't affect total t. IOW, don't worry about the dbol.

for mid-cycle labs, use labsmd, female hormone panel, its a bit more pricey at $72, but it will give you total t (the assay for total test is lc/ms/ms, look for it). this will give you a number, not just >1500. timing is minimum 5 weeks in for levels to be stable.
 
Not to argue with my friend lightspan but you have to check with your local Lab that accepts Privatemdlabs if the female hormone panel will give you a total test and not just >1500 mine is Labcorp and it only gives >1500 on the female hormone panel, other labcorp locations and other vendor labs will give you the full count but you have to check.

I think we're on the same page here @BIGMESC. I went with Labsmd for my mid-cycle because they do total t for 72 bucks, lc/ms/ms. Privatemdlabs female hormone panel for $50 only gives > 1500, from what I saw. I will happily be wrong, hoping so, the extra $$ could be better spent on...more gear!

Edit- ok, I'm a bit slow. Call the lab first and see if they do total t or > 1500 on the $50 female hormone panel. Got it.

I think I saw someone from FL mention that that the labcorp test down there give a real number reading from the hormone panel for females. All the other states you will have to drop $99 to see your real number from labcorp.

Labsmd.com uses Quest Diagnostics for lab work, PrivateMDlabs.com uses Labcorp for actual testing.
 
I asked my doc for labs to check my t levels and he called it in. Im here waiting to see him and wondering what tje hell to say when he asks why I didn't get them. Any ideas on how to go about telling him that I was sick of being a moody, depressed, not giving a shit about sex, couldnt cum, hopelessly miserable 37 yr old man. I asked him 2 yrs ago and he brushed me off stating that he'll give me viagra. So, now that I'm running high ammounts of test and other stuff, not sure what to say. Thinking of telling him that I did a lab through one of the ones on here and was crazy low. Je had me on depression meds and I just got fat and nothing changed. Anyway my appt is at 340 pst and any ideas would be grand. Thx.

sounds like you already know what to tell him. repeat what you said here :)
 
Saw doc today and told him that I started aas and je said that he would have me waited for another low t lab. In March it was 154 or 156. Ill be getting them tomorrow at 8 am. I'm glad that he's an older cat and can probably get where I'm coming from. Well, thks was a major issue until recently : ) Thanks for this thread guys, I needed a little support. @HuckingFuge, thx bro.
 
I will be drawing for mid cycle at the end of the week and I can pretty much show up whenever. I want to be clear on the protocol in order to help here (this standardized timing is a fantastic idea btw) - Test Cyp between 24 & 48hrs after last pin? I will post the results here and in the Testing forum as well.

What week are you on? Try to keep it 24-36 if you can. Are you going to get them fasted?
 
I was running prop at 75mg ed, and got blood work about 11 weeks in. Total T came back a little over 4650 ng/dL. I believe I pinned about 5 hours before blood draw and I am not sure what time I pinned the day before but I'd guess around 24 hours give or take before the draw. The day before i pinned only 70mg and day of I pinned a little over 70. Vial was running low. Bloods weren't done really during mid cycle but more towards the end.
