Going to get my blood work done tomorrow

i'm currently in week 6 of my 12 week cycle.

thanks guys

cholestoral, liver enzymes, blood pressure, kidney function. they've always done all the basic shit when i get mine done. tell them you want "full" bloodwork done. i always said this and i heard my doc refer to it as full bloodwork.

full bloodwork eh?? to a doctor thats a pretty ambiguous demand: so he should get test for pregnancy, blood plasma levels, aids, estrogen, prostaglandins etc. you realize you can test for 100's of things in your blood. but yeah essentially you want to do liver enzymes, kidney function, hdl/ldl are going to be the ones you are worried about, thyroid and pituitary hormones can be tested as well but you can make some pretty good predictions what those values are going to be without having a blood test.

i told him what i was using and from that point he would test for a lot of shit. white blood cell, red blood cell, creatinine levels, hiv, heptitis(hepatic liver is often sign of steroid abuse usually with 17-aa steroids ) and a bunch of other shit-obviously not pregnancy, but pretty much every thing you could sit and think of(aside from test levels)

oh alright sorry i wasnt aware that your doctor was aware of your steroid use at the time, thats why it seemed a bit strange to just say "full bloodwork" and hell know what to do.

How much do these blood tests cost if your insurance does not cover it?
