blood work post pct?

[Vitamin S]

1. how long should one wait after pct to get blood work done. ill be done pct end of jan this year.

2. i am mostly interested in sperm count as we plan on trying to have baby this fall. what is that test called, and what do i say to doc if he asks why do u need to know?

3. hopefully all will b OK, if not what can be done to increase test levels to ensure sperm count is adequate? Would i re do my pct or do a quick short cycle of something
like prop to boost test levels and then another pct?

thanks p

1) month + post pct
2) test is called a semen analysis, not done through BW
3) see a fertility doctor

Minimum 2 week washout period but a month as Nate said is fine. BW will only give you test levels...not fertility.

so can blood work that shows your test levels be good enough to know if your boys are siwmming.

Endocrine system is variable which is why if you want to know how your swimmers are, you get a semen analysis done which is what usually happens after people try for a while unsuccessfully.

Does it strike you naive or irresponsible at all that you ask these types of questions without researching for yourself? What you put into your body isnt harmless. Your playing around with your biochemistry and as such you owe it to yourself to be as informed as possible. Reading a book or two is a good help :)
