Blast 4 Months before labs?

**Novice489** · 10-08-2015, 10:29 AM

Hey guys. I just saw my TRT doc and he wants to see me again in 4 Months. I'm contemplating a low dose blast (400mg Test Cyp) for a little boost. How long do you think I could run it for? I know Cyp will take about 6 weeks to wash out but I also want to leave time for my cholesterol and other lab values to return to normal.

Any advice on dose/duration is appreciated!

Why not blast with prop in addition to your normal TRT does.In and out quicker

I agree that would be ideal but I don't have any prop atm and would like to use up some of the Cyp I have.

6 weeks will be plenty. I've had blood drawn 4 weeks off blast and back on trt dose and levels were back in normal range. That was with 400/wk using trt script same as you suggest.

Be careful 6-8 weeks max on a blast and keep an eye on your crit level. Not following your dr protocol has its risks

Being on trt can have its advantages in this case, in that you already have a baseline of bloodwork to go off of. How long have you been on trt and how has your hematocrit responded? Also how is your E2? Do you need an AI on trt. Even if you don't, you will on blast, but its good to know up front if your prone to E2 conversion. If your crit is at a good starting point pre-blast, and you have AI on hand already, then you should be fine with a low dose blast as you suggested. I'd recommend donating blood after the blast, a few weeks prior to blood work to be sure crit wont raise any red flags (and for your health of course). If all that is in line, I see no reason to limit to 6-8 weeks on blast. Plan for 10-12 with minimum 4 weeks off (6 is even better) before next trt blood work.

Been on TRT for about 2 years now. Never had a problem with hematocrit but I'll donate blood as you suggested. My E2 will hit about 45 without an AI on my TRT dose .1mg 2x week usually keeps it in check. I think ill stick with the 6-8 weeks suggested by Bio-Active even though I may be able to get away with a longer cycle. I wouldn't want to make any mistakes that would alarm my HRT doc after finally finding one I enjoy working with.

Sounds good, definitely understand wanting to keep everything in check with your trt situation. Good luck.

One more question for you guys. I was thinking about stopping injections for 2 weeks after my 8 week blast to reestablish my TRT blood levels as soon as possible. Would you advice this or should I resume my TRT dose immediately after my 8 week blast?
