In Cycle Bloodwork Need Advice

[livekhaos]

Here are my results and just kind of wanted to get an opinion as far as if I’m at the right amount of testosterone given a dose of 500mg/week and 25mg of dbol ED.

Damn I just realized my test level result only shows greater than 1500, not the exact amount.

In the beginning I believed I crashed my Estrogen levels because I was doing 25mg a day. They are high now, so I think I’ll start at 12.5mg EOD and then get another lb test a week after.

It seems what’s low is my natural production of testosterone. It’s shut off as expected.

Btw when I had the test done I was on week 2 and had my 4th pin the day before.

Your BW looks good. With Labcorp you'd need to run free T to see exactly where you're at.
Re your estrogen, if not gyno sensitive run as little (or no) AI as possible. It doesn't need to be "in-range" as your testosterone surely isn't.
Don't waste money on LH/FSH when on cycle. Pre and post, yes.

Then you kinda jumped the gun a bit. Should wait till about week 6 or so.

They now offer LiquidC testing for levels over 1500, at least through pmdl. Unfortunately, the only packages that I see it on also have a shit E2 test, so you’d have to add either it, or sensitive E2 as a stand-alone.

Thank you! I guess I did jump the gun but I just wanted to make sure my gear wasn’t bad or under dosed.

I had planned on redoing the test at week 6, this time I’ll get it test specific or nah do Quest Diagnostics instead of lab Corp.

As far as LH and FSH doesn’t HCG directly affect that?

Kelkel, it may be too early to tell but I don’t think I’m gyno sensitive. I’m thinking I’ll do 12.5mg of Aromasin every 3 days instead or EOD.

HCG mimics it, it does not stimulate endogenous production of it. Therefore it will not show on blood work.

Ok. Just know that less is more with AI's. Meaning less AI = higher natural GH and IGF-1 levels = better gains. It's where low dose Nolva comes into play for many guys.

Ok good information. I appreciate it

Got my results back today on test and estrogen. I was bummed out because I chose Testosterone TOTAL and I got back a less than/greater than result, nothing specific. I’ll have to redo it with another lab test company and quest diagnostics this time. But still showing over 1500 and I’m growing so I know the gear is good.

At any rate, my estrogen was at 282. 3 weeks ago it was at 86. I haven’t been getting many sides or gyno. But I think I’ll increase my aromasin dosage to 12.5mg EOD.

Sounds like good gear to me!

Total Test came back at 3957.2 a few days ago and I’m In week 9.

I see the size just piling up mostly on my arms, back and chest. I need to work a bit more on my legs, but it’s really my calves.

I’ve had to lower my calories a bit as I started to gain a little bit more fat than I wanted to. I started at 192 and I’m at 223. I think about 3-5lbs of that is water weight. I’ve gone up from a medium shirt size to a large, however waist is still the same at 33/34.

Got an estrogens total test yesterday, just to really gauge how much AI I need.

I’ve been measuring it based on morning wood lol I was having erectile and bloating issues when I posted my estrogen came back at 282 on 01/07/19, so I began taking 10mg of Aromasin everyday for 5 days straight and then 10mg every other day for another week and then I’ll do 10mg every 3 days as long as my estrogen is in check, if not I’ll increase it to EOD. But my libido is back and my sex drive is insatiable lol

Cholesterol levels are better. LDL is lower and HDL is higher. I’ve been taking Niacin.

Estrogens total came back at 201 today.

[kelkel]

Slo-Niacin brand or Endur-Acin I hope?

[livekhaos]

It’s a no-flush Niacin 500mg, vitamin shoppe brand lol
