    Mid cycle blood test - opinions please

    I am now half way through my first cycle:

    250mg Test E every 3.5 days, 250iu HCG every 3.5days & 0.25mg Arimidex (Anastrozole) every other day.

    I am 36, 5'7, 185lbs, 12%BF and eat clean. I am please with the results so far but I would appreciate some more experienced opinion on my blood results. I took a blood test before my cycle and in the 5th week. I intend to have another post PCT.
    I think that it all looks OK, less blood count (which was high anyway) so I'll donate next week.

    I have included the main results below and a full list of tests taken at the bottom, if anyone wants to see more detail, let me know and I'll post the rest.

    Thanks for the reply, I don't smoke, don't suffer from sleep apnea or work in low O2 environments, but I do have mild asthma. I'll get the other figures together and post them all.

    For some reason your H&H was already high pre cycle, which is a problem as steroids will raise this. Maybe its the asthma, dont know. Do you supplement vit b12 and vit C?

    Start supplementing iron, your ferritin is low.

    You need to increase anastrazole, e2 is very elevated.

    Thanks Mr BB. I do supplement vit b12 and vit c but didn't pre cycle.

    I will start the iron.

    Any idea by how much I should increase Anastrozole by? 0.25mg ed or 0.5mg eod? Or something else? 0.375mg eod (1 1/2 tablets)? Also how long on the higher dosage should I wait before getting bloods done again to see if e2 has lowered? 1 week?

    From what I have learned on this forum, the aim is to get the e2 level in the normal range, so just under 156 pmol/L (but not too low) rather than its currently elevated level of 240 pmol/L.

    Thank you very much for your experience and for taking the time to offer advice.

    I would stop the b12 supplement, and cut the vit C to 500mg per day. IMO this helps with hematocrit.

    So your arimidex is not pharma? Pharma adex is in 1mg tablets, your problem might be there.

    The Anastrozole is from BP and in 0.25mg tablets. The rest of the gear is legit, when you say not pharma, do you mean 'bunk' or just not pharamacuteical grade (not high enough quality)?

    Understood, I'll get some genuine Astra Zeneca so I can be sure.

    Thanks for your help.

    I increased my anastrazole and levelled off my E2 - I now understand how much I need to keep it at the correct level.

    have now finished PCT and am very pleased with the results. I lost some of the gains during PCT and felt weak as hell but a week after I felt good again and am still making gains a full month after PCT.

    I got BW done 2 1/2 weeks after finishing PCT and my testosterone is at the top end of the 'normal' zone (28 nmol/l) - this is considerably higher than my pre cycle BW. Does this mean that my PCT was a resounding success and my new physique is naturally elevating my testosterone levels ? Surely it can't be residual test e still in my system 8 weeks after my last pin!?
