Labs at 4 Weeks
ad
Entering into my fourth week of TRT. Is this too early to do labs to see where my levels are, or should I wait until 8 weeks? Also, I take 200mg Test Cypionate weekly. How long should I wait after my last injection to do labs? Thanks Bros.

From reading the above link it looks like your taking a prescribed 2mg Adex ew. Is this accurate?
That's correct. Called the doc when I was having problems with erections so he told me to stop the Arimidex for a week and see if that helped. It did help so I stopped it altogether. Big mistake. E2 is high so I'm back on the Arimidex. My concern is that my total is as high as it is. It's it too high?
bigunBarely. If I had to choose between too high estro or too low estro id choose too high any day. If it was me I'd keep doing what your doing. How is your libido?
Libido is much better than when on 2mg of Arimidex a week. I cut that in half and now take. 5 twice a week. Seems better.
My Doc always waits 2months after adjusting dose to take bloods. There is no problem in taking them earlier, but expect your levels to change until they get stabilized. By 6-8 wks your blood plasma levels should be stabilized. When you draw bloods, have them taken the morning of your next scheduled shot. Draw bloods and then take your trt dose. Doing it this way you will know what your trough values are for your testosterone.

Cheap way to find out in a couple days. Around $50 to find out exactly where your at. Bring the results back here and we'll help you sort them out.
Well, got my labs back. I'm currently taking 1ml Testorerone Cypionate (200mg) once a week, 350iu HCG twice a week. These labs were taken two days before my scheduled injection if that's important. Pretty clear I need an AI. Any advice on where to start, and what adjustments to make concerning AI and HCG?

bigunSo, correct me if I'm wrong but are you scheduled to see your endo for him to run bloods in roughly 2 weeks from now?
Awesome. Thanks. I'll post em' in a few days.
Are you doing doctor prescribed or self?
Doctor prescribed. Just have a feeling my E2 is high. Supposed to wait until 8 weeks, but thought I'd check myself early. Not sure if 4 weeks is long enough.
Ask your doctor to run a blood test anyways. Even though 8 weeks is the norm if you need one run just ask him; he can't say no.
My endo drew labs the 4th week the first month after I got to normal level every 8 weeks.
