How soon after starting test should I get a blood test?

On 200 mg/wk test e right now. Since it takes a while for blood hormone levels to stabilize, I'm not sure when's a good time to get bloodwork? After 1 month? 2? 3?

What are you looking for? Are you trying to see if your test is real?
If so, 3-4 weeks after you start should do the trick.

I am interested in monitoring my health, so things like estrogen levels, liver enzymes, cholesterol, &c. Thanks.

4 weeks will cover the bases...did you draw bloods before going on so you had a baseline to compare your new blood work too?

You should check those things after your pct is complete or to be safe, once every three months if you can afford it.

3 weeks works for me if if checking on something and after that every few months. It keeps my doctor happy too. You just need to decide when you want to check in terms of from time you injected since results will vary. Way my doc would just say let's do a test today made it a real headache since my lab work was never the same.

I ended up going to a trt clinic for a bit. They had me switch to pinning twice a week and taking tests on day of 2nd injection but before injection. I've been doing these tests that way ever since.
