I would guess about 4-6 weeks total from last shot and 2-3 weeks into HRT schedule. No need to rush it. To soon and the results will not reflect accurately, waiting an extra week or 6 in no downside except testing your patience.
Before i start (establish a baseline so i know what i am trying to get back to)
At the Expected Peak of the Ester (this one not as neccesarry but it allows me to see how good the gear is and get an idea of my metabolism and the half life of the ester)
Right before PCT ( to make sure my levels are down far enough to start PCT and confirm that any hcg and AI's are working properly)
2to4 weeks After PCT (to make sure that my levels came back to where they where before i started)
of course that always doesn't happen but i really try to do the before and after if i can
How do u go by getting bloods done. As far as using insurance, dealing with your PCP, and paying out of pocket? What would u say the most efficient way would be?
