    First Test Cycle; Ready for mid-cycle BW?

    So I'm four weeks into my first test cycle and was tempted to get bloods done this week. The cycle is expected to last 12 - 16 weeks + PCT, depending on how well it's going. I figure on the first cycle it may be a good idea to get some early BW to see how my body is responding to the test, and whether or not hematocrit and E2 levels are too high. Those would pretty much be my biggest concern.

    No symptoms to report of other than complete savagery in the weight room....and maybe some slightly "puffy" nipples. It's nowhere near gyno, though. It's probably just a product of fluctuating hormones. They aren't sensitive or have any lumps. I don't even have acne, yet. (knocks on wood).

    Speaking of wood...that too.

    Is it too early to get some BW done? Or should I get some it done ASAP to see what's going on just to be safe?

    Wait a couple more weeks. You are taking an AI, right?

    Yep - about 0.5mg dex EOD

    Are you suggesting around the 6 or 8 week mark?

    Unless you're experiencing problems the may be associated with high/low e2 or blood counts then hold off until week 6-8.
