blood work during pct

[longchi]

i have one week left until im done with pct and im wondering should i take one now or right after i finish pct? (also planning to take another blood test a month after pct)

Results now or shortly after PCT won't tell you really anything that's going on. Best to wait about 6 weeks after and see what's really going on.

why not take a blood test near the end of PCT to see how your T level have gone up? (don't want to sound stubborn just trying to learn)

Blood work should be taken 6 weeks post PCT

Because you are still on PCT meds which will scew the numbers. It's not an accurate reading. Wait the 6 weeks after so it gives your body a time to settle back to a normal state. Your results while on PCT will not be where you will be at after your cycle. You don't sound stubborn. Asking questions is how we all learn.

You will be looking at different things.

Take a blood test during or shortly after and you will need to see high T levels (over 600 or 700). Endos usually titrate clomid dosage for a 600 T. That is to see if your PCT is strong enough (which will be the case with the dosages around here). It does not tell you if you recovered, even if it is over-the-range high.

That is why you need to take another at 6 - 8 wks, without any SERM in your blood, to see how your body produces T. You can do both, but the important is the post-PCT.
