    Steroid Cycle how long until labs are back to normal?

    Im going to visit my endo on feb 23rd and then I have another appointment on may 2nd. Could I run an 8 week cycle of test cyp at 400mg per week and still have my labs within range by may 2nd if I started on the 23rd? How long does it take post cycle for my testosterone numbers to start coming back down? My current trt protocol is .75cc,150mg cyp a week.

    I would run test prop. It clears the system faster and you can start pct earlier. I give yourself 4 weeks.

    Really should be posted in the anabolic forum but your answer is no. You don't have time, especially when you factor in PCT. Assuming you were planning to do so, I hope.

    It looks like hes already on trt guys and inquiring about a blast(still possibly wrong forum though), so no need for pct.

    Kel is correct, your levels will still be higher than you want them to be on may 2nd. Id wait.

    Yea thats why I was unsure which one I should post in. What about just running a one month cycle at a low dose of like 300 mgs a week? I'm not looking to do anything crazy here, this would be my first cycle and I'm just trying to put on a little muscle and weight. Pretty much all the things Ive been reading have been saying that you should run at a minimum an 8 week cycle. Is there any real downside (besides not as much gains) to just running a one month cycle? Then I could possibly try something a little more serious in 3 or 4 months.

    so you are on TRT then? of course no need for PCT as mentioned above, but don't use the word cycle in this section, it confuses us, LOL! we call it Blasting. when i blasted last time at 300/300 test/deca then reduced daca to 100 for the last 2-3 weeks, after that i cruised on my TRT protocol at 160 mgs for about 3-4 weeks then did blood work, my numbers still came back very high. so my advice and i agree with the guys above you probably need 5-6 weeks to get your levels stabilized at your TRT protocol. why not wait on the blast until after blood work?

    Agree with bass. You might also look at donating some blood a week or two before running those labs, so that your CBC lab doesn't throw out any red flags.

    As per Vetts comment: giving blood works for me every time after a blast. I'd recommend giving blood to anyone on TRT anyway.

    Reduces red blood cell count, a side affect from TRT. High RBC is like running crude oil in the engine as opposed to mobil1 . Also helps to reduce iron and hemacrit.

    AAS usage can elevate levels of your RBC, Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, etc. Giving blood helps control this. It also dumps excess iron out of your system. Good for you, good for society. If your on TRT you should do it regularly.

    Funny... when we list all of the good things supplemental test does for you, this very important one never makes the list.

    Do you guys think something like a 4-6 week blast is even worth it or is to short and pointless?

    Thanks for the advice on giving blood I never heard of this before but Ill be sure to donate every so often and especially if I decide to blast.

    i would wait if i were you, usually you get much better results if you run your blast 12-14 weeks.
