Blood test help!

[alitz]

Hey guys,

I'm 4 weeks into my first UD cycle (tomorrow will be day 28) and got blood test done yesterday as a check up. Have done 12/12/16/16. Original plan is to run 4 weeks with a possible 5th and 6th week at 16 or 20 mg depending on bloods. The problem is I have no idea what I am looking at here...This is the first time I have had bloods done so I do not have a baseline to go by. Got the typical hormone panel + lipid test. There are a few things out of reference range which are:
BUN: 21 mg/dl ref range 6-20
Potassium, Serum 5.4 mmol/L ref range 3.5-5.2
AST (SGOT): 75 IU/L ref range 0-40
ALT (SGPT): 94 IU/L ref range 0-55
Total Cholesterol 93 mg/dl ref range 100-199
HDL Cholesterol 12 mg/dl ref range >39
LDL 67
Test 15 ng/dl ref range 348-1197
Luteinizing hormone: 0.1 mIU/mL ref 1.7-8.6
FSH <0.2 mIU/ml ref range 0.5-12.4

Everything else within range, will be glad to share if others needed.
First question, based on these bloods is it wise to continue the cycle or should I start PCT? Side effects I can feel are non existant at
16mg/day except some pretty bad gas at times, but not sure if thats the UD or UDCA or PPC as I've never taken either of those. Other than that I feel totally normal, maybe some slight lethargy now and then but nothing bad. Second question is there sort of a cheat sheet for what is typically acceptable blood levels on cycle? Apologies if this is easily searchable, just want to make sure I'm ok!

Thanks for the help guys

your liver values are elevated of course, everything is high there....test and LH are non-existent and in the shytter....I believe this is to be expected though, if you are not taking anything for your liver. with proper PCT you hope the test comes back up, and that the liver values normalize. this is what PCT is for.

Not so concerned with the Test values, torem should bring the boys back. More concerned with the liver values, been taking 250mg-500mg UDCA and 900mg PPC e/d. With where they are at would it be stupid to bump up the UDCA/PPC and continue for another week?

you are in mild (to moderate) range...so i don't think its anything to stress on considering you knew they'd be elevated. not like they are in the high range...but you could bump up the liver support, why not.

At this point you're hard shutdown ... two lines of thought here - one is that seven more days won't it make much worse.

Other line of thought is ... the longer your nuts stay shutdown - the more desensitized they become to LH once it comes back up - and, of course, the associated pituitary atrophy.

You may have to answer this yourself. How much more in gains do you expect to get off one more week on cycle? Is it worth it? Four weeks on UD at the amounts you ran would be enough for me personally.

^ this made me laugh hahahahaha, my thoughts at that point wouldn't be about shutdown, really in the end that week difference means nothing when considering shutdown. but when considering your LIVER you might want to think harder, though your ranges arent crazy high or anything what negative effects could you be experiencing because of that extra week? another week on orals could be a huge difference to your liver, as for a week comparing to shut down? I personally do not believe a singular week after only 4 weeks is going to change much for shutdown
