Bloodwork Question

[nashaborten]

I was taking 500mg test E per week and stopped at the end of week 7. The reason I stopped is because my doctor wants to start me on TRT. He is waiting for me to get my bloodwork done but I need to make sure when I get it done my levels aren't still elevated from my cycle. How long after my last pin should it take for my total testosterone reading to be bottomed out? I don't want to jump the gun and get my blood drawn to early but on the flip side I also don't want to be bottomed out any longer than necessary. Thanks in advance guys.

IMO, 4 weeks from last pin should be plenty. You can always draw your own bloods through Private MD labs the week before to make sure.

If you ran test E at 500mg, it will take about a month according to Half-Life calculators

I was on almost 200mg and two weeks after my pin was 112. I’d give it about 4 weeks

Thanks guys for filling me in on the question I had. Looks like 4 weeks it is.

Keep us posted on what you labs come back at after 4 weeks as i am curious to know. Good luck on the ride down bro.

Thanks for the kind words as I'm not sure how shitty this is gonna get. Today marks 2 weeks so only two long weeks to go. After I get my numbers I'll reply here.

I did the same from running 500mg/wk test-cyp. Waited 4 weeks (per great input from the bros here). Actually came back below normal at TRT doc (i.e. at same low levels
as when I started TRT). So should be safe for sure.

yes, definitely... most wait a minimum of 4 weeks as everyone else said.. thats ALWAYS what i recommend to everyone...

So..what everyone is forgetting

Since apparently he won't be doing a fully and correct PCT before his new blood test...his levels even after 4 weeks will be artificially low and in no shape or form will they be representative of his natural production
So...You really won't be getting a true picture of where your natural level is at.....
Something to think about....

my doctor wants to start me on TRT.

MMMM......Dr's just don't start guys on TRT...so you must of already had a low result from a previous blood test...correct? and now your Dr wants to do a second test for confirmation

My question to you is....under what circumstances was that first test done...had you been on a cycle previously? If so..had you done a complete PCT...Are you positive had you fully recovered?

Get my drift...if you aren't up front with your doctor about your steroid use...how do you expect to get a proper diagnosis?

So many guys are SO eager for TRT...that they manipulate the test results..NEVER getting a true idea of their natural test production...this is very short sighted...

YOU CAN'T RECIEVE THE BEST TREATMENT OPTIONS.... WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A TRUE AND CORRECT READING OF WHERE YOU'RE REALLY AT.....
