blood test timing

[ecsaaron]

One of the questions frequently asked here is "how long should I wait before getting my next blood test".Would the proper answer be,It depends on where your level of test is now?Another words Wouldnt it take longer for a guy thats say a 1500 test level to come in range than a guy that is 900 test? I just see some people respond wait 21 days then go do your test and you should be in range.I just didnt think there would be a blanket 21 day time frame that fits for everyone.Maybe if your trying to get a natty level.I think this may apply to the guys that like to blast and then try to get back in range before they get back to the DR. Does this make sense or am I looking at this wrong?

i am assuming your question is how long after you've started TRT? if so, my clinic recommended 6 weeks!

Like Bass said, 6 weeks if you're looking to get your first follow up BW after starting TRT. If you're talking about how long does it take to manipulate your serum score so the doc doesn't bust you for taking too much "T", then that depends on the individual. Half life is 7 to 8 days, so your serum score will pretty much drop to the floor in 21 days. Best bet is to cut your test levels down for a few weeks, then run labs. E.g., if I were at/around 1,100 and taking 200mg/wk, I might drop it to 100mg/wk for 2 weeks, which would probably put me down to 600 or 700.

IIt was just something I was kicking around and just thought I would throw it out there.I was just thinking you would have to know your level your at to determine the time.Thanks for the replys
