Should I Get Tested?

[Ramstein II]

I have a blood test scheduled next week to measure Test, Free Test,LH, FSH, E2 etc.... The test will be 9 weeks out from my last shot. I scheduled it to make sure I am back to normal. I tested before my cycle. I ran the state of the art PCT--HCG then Nolva for 4 weeks. I'm almost 8 weeks out from my last shot and feel great. Balls are normal, libido normal, my gizz is back to normal. I realize now that I did have about a 2-3 week slump in how I felt. I was low energy, but now I feel like I did before my cycle--very energetic.

It seems like most people don't bother with blood tests. Should I test? Do you think I should wait another month if so? I'm tempted to blow it off. On one hand it gives you peace of mind. On the other it's expensive and what's the point if everything feels normal again? I'm sure I'm back to normal now. I actually feel better than before my cycle. What do you think?

9 Weeks is still too early to do bloodwork. You're still under the SERMs influence. You'll need to wait at least 21 days after your last intake of Nolvadex to assess your situation accurately. But, I'm glad you're feeling great.

I would...just for mere reference and where you are given your cycle and time

How do you guys go about asking for all the blood tests you want? Do you just walk into the doctor with a list of tests you'd like to have done or do you deal directly with a lab? Do the results get sent directly back to you?

I do...I talk to my doc and tell him what blood tests I want done....due to my cholesterol levels, estrogen levels, test levels, etc...Im not feeling well...I have concerns etc...get the picture......but I only do this 2x per year...

I blew it off and didn't test today. My Nolva is at about 17mg total in my blood stream today based on my calculations according to my taper and half life. I doubt that this has any measurable effect on anything. I pushed the test down the road to the end of the month 13 weeks after last injection. I'll decide later if I want to test. I suppose it's good to have for reference. I tested before my cycle. I'm doing a little research into the variability of test results. That's relevant, obviously.
