Bloodwork during cycle

[MisterD]

I've done a couple of cycles and always have done blood work a couple of months after my PCT.

I've been reading thru many threads and see guys doing blood work during a cycle.

What are we looking for when we test during a cycle?

Also when's the best time to do the blood work during the cycle?


Thanks

Mostly elevated E2 since it will rob you of your test and gains. If your E2 is elevated or crashed your gains will be lack luster compared to what they should be.

Last time I tested mine on cycle when I was not using an AI my E2 was:
Estradiol 295 range 7.6 - 42.6
Estrogens total 3308 range 40 - 115
Testosterone 736 range 249 - 836 (should have been 3x higher)
Free Testosterone 34.50 range 5.00 - 21.00
% free Testosterone 4.7 range 1.50 - 4.20

So were looking at the Estradiol?

And how far into the cycle do we test?

Thanks

Anytime after 4 weeks should be good. I just did mine at 6
Yes you want to look at Sensitive estradiol

I was wondering the same thing. Also do you just test once during a cycle or multiple times? Also do you to a Dr. for your blood tezt or do you use a lab some where?

[lovbyts]

Usually once unless something is out of whack. I use an online lab

OK, I should do BW beofore my cycle in the middle and after PCT? Also long before my cycle should I do BW, if I got it now and say did my cycle in 2 months would that be ok?

So the optimal range for Estradiol is between 7.6 - 42.6?

[vikingblood]

That seems like a huge range?
