It also depends on what kind of ancillaries you plan to run alongside your PCT. 16 weeks for a cycle is fine, don't worry about it. Giving blood should be something you do say every 6 months/twice a year in general. I can't say which exact week to do it because I don't know your prior cycle history - what other compounds you've been running this past year and so on. I think it's more accurate for you to get blood work done once before you start the cycle, a second time at the midpoint of your cycle, and one last time after you end the cycle and see if there's any indicators that your blood is thick.
These questions that you have aren't something that you can pre-plan so specifically in advance - you can anticipate and plan things like blood tests ahead of time as well as stock up on PCT materials, but the exact protocol and moments for execution would ideally require close monitoring and observation to make the best decisions for your body. If you'd like someone to keep an eye on you and make sure the whole cycle and PCT goes smoothly without a hitch, feel free to drop me an email or DM because this is something I do for all my clients to make sure they get the most out of their cycles safely and without compromising health.
