Blood tests on test cycle

[paul606]

Hey all

I'm 7 weeks into my first cycle, 12 weeks @ 500mg/w and I want to get my bloods done.

My results from before cycle are as followed:
Total Testosterone : 26.2 nmol/L
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin: 20 nmol/L
Calculated Free Testosterone: 752 pmol/L (normal range 225-725)

If i got my blood done now, would all those values go up? I remember reading somewhere that free test could be anywhere between 2000-4000 on cycle?

[warmouth]

Yes. They would be significantly higher, free test and total T.

Hopefully you get the actual number. The place that does my blood work just says >1500 ng/dl

[paul606]

Mine got measured at pmol/L, how do i get ng/dl?

[ScotchGuard02]

Multiply pmol/L by .065097349 to get ng/dl

[paul606]

Multiply pmol/L by .065097349 to get ng/dl

So I'm naturally only 49ng/dl? On cycle my levels would be more than 30x greater? Doesn't seem right

Don't really see the point in testing just to find out T levels. If you have some sort of issue arising, E2, etc then sure. Otherwise your T levels will be extremely high as you know. Now, if your testing for CBC's, Lipids, Basic Metabolic Panel then it's a great idea to test. More important, IMO is to have good baseline BW done pre-cycle if possible. Then after pct if you test again you will know how effective the pct actually was.

Well I got my bloods done pre cycle and I will get them done post PCT but I'd like to have them done during cycle just for reference
