Running Ace Pharma(Canadian Domestic) Test Cyp pre natty bloodwork and post 9 weeks bloods

[MileyCrabz]

Hey Meso. I’m running Ace Pharma’s(Canadian Domestic) Test Cypionate and just wanted to share some pre natty bloodwork and 9 weeks after starting bloodwork.

I got pre bloods pulled on Feb 20 and took my first dose on March 1. Dosing was 57mg IM EOD which is 200mg a week. The Test Cyp was the only PED I used during this time other than a tiny bit of DHEA and Preg for Neurosteroid production, but I don’t think that counts haha. The bloodwork 9 weeks after starting was on May 2 and taken about 50 hours after my last dose. My Total Test almost doubled and my Free Test almost tripled. I plugged this into the Steroid Plotter website and this is basically what it says my Total Test should be with that dose/frequency and timeframe. Very nice to see how accurately Ace’s products are dosed. Had zero PIP neither! Was also great that my SHBG dropped from the above high end of range down to more middle of the range. Libido has very noticeably improved! Has been an awesome few months.

Appreciate you sharing the before-and-after labs — really solid data here. That’s a textbook response to 200mg/week, especially with consistent EOD dosing. Seeing your total T jump from 21.2 to 37.4 nmol/L and free T from 255 to 746 pmol/L over 9 weeks is a strong indicator that Ace’s Cyp is both properly dosed and steady in release. The SHBG drop from 75 to 46.6 is also a great sign your body is adapting well and freeing up more usable test.

Nice touch running DHEA and preg for neurosteroid support, minor inputs but smart additions. Good to hear there’s been no PIP and libido improvements are matching the bloods.

Out of curiosity, are you planning to stay at 200mg long term, or will you be adjusting based on how you're feeling from here? Also, did you notice any changes in mood, energy, or recovery throughout the 9 weeks?

Thanks again for the detailed post, it’s super helpful for anyone considering Canadian sources or dialing in EOD protocols.

Hi Yishai, thank you for checking out my post and your very nice reply. Im happy to post this bloodwork/protocol/UGL if it can help others out.

After starting this protocol back on March 1st I didn’t really notice anything for about the first 4 weeks. Then around 4.5 to 5 weeks in I started noticing things were happening. Well lifting I felt more aggression(in a good way) and the pumps were noticeably better and seemed to last longer post workout. My lifts/progressions started going up faster than usual. I was definitely recovering quicker and ended up adding abit more overall volume to my program without any perceived extra fatigue. My energy for the most part is normally pretty decent beforehand(except deep into a cut haha), but I did end up cutting back on some of my caffeine use because I felt I didn’t really need it. So I’d say my energy levels did go up as well. My mood improved as I was more eager to talk to strangers and strike up conversations. Confidence was high, less anxious and overall very chill/calm. Every workout started to feel like a big accomplishment. I heard someone say once that “testosterone makes effort feel good” and now I understand what that means. This is all just my experience over those 9 weeks and I understand it can vary from person to person. I seem to respond pretty decent to it I think. The only side I got was a tiny bit of water weight gain, which is expected with the extra estrogen. I’m also really acne prone naturally and was kinda worried about that before I started, but was really surprised/happy when I didn’t get any extra. I think the EOD dosing really helped with that and kept my levels steady with very little fluctuation.

So after getting the positive bloodwork results back I bumped up to 250mg for the month of May(4 weeks). That dose seemed to be a slightly more amplified effect as the 200mg dose was and still with no sides. Then on June 1st I bumped up to 300mg. I’ve kept the same EOD dosing throughout. My initial plan was to find my “maximum tolerable testosterone dose” by starting low and escalating dose 50mg every 4 weeks until I get some noticeably bad sides, then back off to previous dose that wasn’t giving me sides. From this point I could stay at the previous dose for a while or I could add in a DHT derivative like Primo in at 50mg every 4 weeks or so and go from there. Both IFBB pro John Jewett and Chase Irons recommend similar protocols like this on their YouTube channels for first cycles and they say it’s usually around 300-400mg test for the majority of people. I would also be getting more bloodwork done throughout.

It’s only been about 2 weeks at 300mg and it’s starting to feel like I’m actually on a cycle. For example I normally don’t progress more than adding 5-10lbs or a couple reps depending on it being a compound or isolation lift in a week. I just had a bunch of exercises that I added 20lbs to or 4/5 reps with the same technique and this was at the same RIR as the previous week. I’ve never done that before! Also I did a heavy/intense leg day yesterday afternoon and the whole night it felt like I had a sick gym pump, even in my upper body. So basically now I’m thinking I’ll go by feel and if it’s still like this after 4 weeks at this dose I’ll probably just milk it as long as I can before adding more. No point rushing it, I’ve seen guys talk about lowest effective dose and that makes a lot of sense to me. It’s a marathon not a sprint and I’m in it for the long game. With the least sides! Haha

Hey man I am in Canada could you help a brother out and explain how to get blood work for this stuff done? I want to approach this all more safe than when I was younger and have no idea where to start to get blood work ordered except for asking my docotor (good luck with that)

Tell your doctor youve been using anabolics and want a full screening done as harm prevention like a heroin addict might get.

Or, google private labs and pay $250

What HeatherSwanson mentioned with getting bloods taken through your family doctor is what I did for the "pre bloodwork". Although I didn’t say it was for PED’s(nothing wrong with saying it is for PEDs, that’s probably the way to go). I said I was getting older and wanted to check my hormones especially with a full blood panel. I was well researched when I brought it up to my doc and was able to convince him to test for almost everything I wanted to get checked on the blood panel. Luckily my doc is young and fairly open minded. But even if they aren’t as open minded you could still maybe say that you took PEDs and are now worried about your health and just want to makesure everything is still OK.

I am in Ontario and we have a service called Teletest where you can order “PED harm reduction” Blood tests online through a real doctor for like $80 plus abit more if you want to test for SHBG ect. Just need to do an intake online and answer questions beforehand. Then if anything is abnormal on your bloodwork you do a short online chat with doctor where he basically says “PEDs are harmful” and that’s it pretty much. Your family doctor doesn’t even see this bloodwork. This is what I did for the "post 9 weeks bloodwork". I’m also in the process of getting more bloods pulled this Monday through the Teletest service.

Unfortunately Teletest is only for Ontario residents right now, but if you’re not in Ontario I’d do some research to see if your province offers a similar service. Outside of that I think the private bloodwork labs is really the only other option unless you’re in the US sometimes and can just get it done in a private lab down there.
