When to get bloodwork?

[DataDude]

Hey All,

I have been taking Testosterone Enanthate for a month. I'd like to get bloodwork to confirm my Test/E2 levels (and other health indicators), but want to be sure I'm waiting long enough for it to build up in my system. Is 4-5 weeks long enough? Or should I wait until 6-8 weeks? Also, I split my weekly dose into 3 injections (Monday morning, Wednesday morning, Friday morning). When I got my Test levels checked before I started pinning, they said I had to fast and come in before 10am. Now that I'm using exogenous Test, should I get my levels on an off day when my levels would be at their "lowest"? For example, if I pin Mon/Wed/Fri, can I get my blood drawn on Thursday after work and still get accurate results? Thanks for the help!

I appreciate the response, Steve. I will review the link you provided and possibly order through there. Just to clarify, the "uncapped" test version extends the scale to measure testosterone levels up to 10,000? I'll post my labs and protocol to this thread once I have them done.

Yep with uncap you get the real number no matter how high.

Steve and I do a podcast together for the website where we discuss this topic and many more:

Private MD is a good place for blood work. Use uncapped test for bloods, here is the thread Steve was talking about

i always recommend pre, mid and post at the minimum but if you feel the need at other times then by all means you should as well... if you have a sense something may be off then definitely go do it or even if its just for peace of mind...

Always get bloodwork done before and after!

UPDATE:

Just got my blood drawn this morning before taking my dose. They said results could take around 5 days, but I'll post my results here they're ready. Thank you to everyone for responding. I'm new and really appreciate the experience on this forum.

You can certainly do them now. It is never a bad thing to take pre caution and be tuned into your body sir

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

5 weeks is a perfect time. I would look for your total test to be around 5-7x what your dose is
