Ideal Time To Test Blood

[JLee]

In a perfect scenario when would be the best time after pinning (test e or c) to get the most accurate results (test and e2). Does cycle time affect it dramatically? Would a person who's strictly on TRT have the same approach as someone doing a 12 week cycle?

Great question… I officially don’t know. My trt doc had me do blood labs 24 hours after pinning

 

[Dirtnasty]

I don’t know I pin daily

Well I'm of no help,fuck,I don't even cycle anymore,least that's what it feels like,I'm sure @Neuro knows,he's a fuckin book of knowledge.

Serum test will peak anywhere between 48-72 hours after injection of C or E, with aromatization being a down stream effect of plasma test elevation it will peak around the 3-5 day range.

So timing of lab pull depends on what information is most important to you.

Would this still apply if I was microdosing daily? Probably right but the swing from high and low ends of both T and e2 wouldn't be as far part.

It’s still going to peak the same way, but it’s going to stay peaked bc you’re daily dosing. So once it reaches plasma concentrations it will stay there by injecting daily.

So pull at anytime if you’ve been daily dosing for awhile now.

If you plot half life you should go wherever. Stable serum levels and all. If your waiting.a week between Cyp pins you will peak at 3..5 days or so and decline. Up and down. Yuck.
