How many of you guys are getting bloodwork regularly? If yes, every 6 months? Yearly?

Let me know.

I’m sort of neurotic about bloodwork. Every 12 weeks at a minimum. On cycle I’ll do more frequent if I’m feeling off or want to keep a close eye on something like Cystatin C or E2.

Understand completely.
 
4 times a year , sometimes more depending on what’s going on.
 
Every 3 months for me. If I make a late change it may go a week or 2 past but I’m pretty consistent at 3 months.
 
Every 6-10 weeks on cycle depending on compounds that are in play, Usually every 8 weeks tho, and then every 10-14 weeks on trt or cruise dose, I’m big on blood work.

Blood work Data is very valuable, and the more I have the better.

You said it bro!

What do you use to order your bloods? PrivateMD is pretty competitive on pricing.

Lately goodlabs, esp with a discount code. Body builder panel.

I have used privatemd and discounted labs as well.

Good labs has been the best priced, esp for the amount of markers that get tested. So I’ve been sticking with them.
 
Recently this place came to my attention.... I have not tried them yet, but its Quest or Labcorp, your choice of lab. Quest pricing is better. Pricing certainly looks community service level.

Since I just started taking test and am running my first cycle, I pull a panel every 6 weeks to make sure I'm following trends and watching my E2 and lipids as I dial in to what works. I now understand what the sides of higher E2 feel and look like and have been slowly making adjustments with an AI to get everything in order.

That’s the best way to do it.

Don’t get carried away with using Arimidex or Aromasin. If you don’t need it, don’t take it. I’m not sure what your test dose is but if you split the dose into 3 different pins, you can drastically lower aromatization of E2. As a side not, Arimidex can hurt your lipid values….Aromasin is much better in regards to lipids. Remember, you need some estrogen to grow…plain and simple. Besides that, low E2 can have a hose of problems.

E2 was 110 on 250mg MWF and after upping to 500mg MWF and taking 1.5mg arimidex weekly I dropped to 80. Since then I’ve upped to 2mg adex and see where e2 lands in another 6 weeks. Apparently I’m a high aromatizer. But I also went from 25% body fat to 16% and it seems to be getting better.
 
For me it’s a minimum of every 3months and maybe a few more times occasionally when I need to take a look at labs during a cycle.

You’re unlucky like me with that bro. E2 gets way high even on low doses.

Shit I’ve had my e at 184, lol ultra sensitive. 850 test, no ai. No sides.

Arimidex on the other hand gave me the worst mental sides I’ve ever experienced in my life, and also wrecked my lipid panel worse than any blast I’ve ever done and that’s including running Anadrol and dbol together at the same time.

You couldn’t pay me to touch adex ever again, not even a million dollars in cash 😂 worst time of my life.

Aromasin was tolerated much better, but still made me feel off mentally to the point I ain’t touched it in over a year. Prefer a secondary anabolic instead.

That’s tough bro. So what do you do today to manage the e2?

Or do you just let it run high because you don’t experience any sides?

Normally I don’t do shit about it.

I feel zero difference from E in the 30s 40s 50s compared to it in the 100s.

Only difference would be for me is not as dry, so I just run mast with high test normally. But lately been playing with EQ, and crashed my e to 17 but was only on 250 test, and 75 eq, brought test way up to 650 and eq to 100 and feel amazing now, labs in 2 weeks see where I’m at. Not that I ever don’t feel amazing on 500-600 test, with or without eq, mast, or an ai lol. Just a drier look, and more vascular cuz of it.

Damn, that's wild. At 250mg my nips get itchy and water retention for sure. I could tell I needed to do something, i'm also extra cautious about gyno. I recently grabbed some masteron and planned to switch to aromasin in the future to help manage the my e challenges. I'm still on my first cycle and don't want to get too complicated as I already planned to add some anavar in the last 6 weeks and know my lipids will get crushed. Need to pick my battles one at time :LOL:
