How long off of gear before blood test?

**fummins** · 08-17-2009, 12:29 PM

Is there a rule of thumb as to how long if at all to discontinue gear prior to a blood test? Im currently doing 125mg of Test Sust per week and was doing 2 I.U. of GH 5 on 2 off until about a week ago. And what are the "symptoms" I communicate to my Doc as to why I think I need blood work? Any feedback? Thanks.

Contacted by my Doc via email, this is here recommendation. Do these tests check Test and Estrogen levels? "M###, I have gone ahead and ordered a fasting blood work, includes your choelsterol, diabetes screen. Also with thyroid check, psa, and anemia check. Can do anytime. See instructions below. Unfortunatly, uncontrolled depression will definitely affect your libido. Let's rule out organic causes with blood work".

Doesn't sound like she is testing testosterone . If you go off for 2-3 weeks, you will probably test low especially if you have been on long enough to shut down your own production.
