Sorry, yeah, the pulse oximeter is what you want to ensure you're getting the right 'dose' for you as an individual.
They're pretty cheap -- $30 or so and well worth the investment if you're going to include altitude work in the mix e.g.

Other thing that I would highly recommend is getting blood work prior. Sufficient iron/ferritin is essential to getting a good response to any altitude block. I found this out the hard way when my ferritin tanked to 17ng/ml when I first moved to Colorado!
