Blood Test

[tard_zone]

I have an appointment for a blood test to get my testosterone levels checked out, but am wondering if it is even worth it. I am new to the game and still young (19 years) and also steroid free currently.

I know there is a direct link with testosterone levels and strength/size, so I wanted to get one done to see if I am average or higher. Also I wanted it done because, after cycles I would like to get my natural test levels back to original. I just have a couple questions to help me decide:

-After a cycle with highly suppressive compounds (deca) stacked properly with testosterone (ect.) to prevent getting shut down. With proper PCT how do you know if your natural test. levels are back to normal? Because if you need a blood test after every cycle to see if your producing enough testosterone won't you get caught for the use of steroids?

-Do steroids show up on a standard blood test?

personally I think my testosterone level is between normal and high. Sorry, I just wanted to clear that up because if I don't need it then it can save me money from getting one

1. theres doctor patient confidentiality so in theory no u cant get in trouble
2. they arent testing for steroids theres nothing that says your taking steroids on ur test the blood work jsut shows ur levels which CAN be elevated from taking steroids but they wont know waht the cause is
3.u dont know when ur levels are back to normal. u can definately tell when they ahve started coming back up tho ie balls return to normal size, sex drive returns etc but you wont 100% know until u get blood work to see where they are i highly recomend blood work before every cycle i just finished my cycle and pct about 1 month ago and just got blood work done yesterday and everything is in range. my test is low but its in the box and liver was perfect kidneys were slightly high but still normal soooo.....i think im good to go again

should I get it done now at age 19 or wait till I am about to do a cycle, which I think I'll do around age 21

[dupa95]

you mean wait till your 25 sure

you mean wait till your 25 sure

sqwauk!

25 is a rule of thumb doesnt apply to everyone

get it done now if you want its not expensive cost me 70$ for cbc and testosterone

[tard_zone]

well I don't really have $70 kicking around, so should I wait till I am about to run a cycle. Also since when was 25 the rule of thumb I thought 21 was.

honestly there is no rule on age its when ur done growing.....some stop at 16 some 25 but a generalization is just wait tilll 25 then u KNOw ur done growing


it doesnt matter if u get ur test now or before the cycle if ur natural ur levels should be close to the same either way....
