    Ask to have your testosterone levels tested
    also estrogen
    Hcg
    TSH
    And acl Levels as well
    But your doc will probably do some others as well but these should give you a good idea how your body is doing then when you have completed your cycle go back again and see if u are back to normal.

    If your under 30 prepare to get laughed at for getting test, gh, or tsh checked.

    Get the normal full panel. It will have your liver, kidneys, and cholesterol all included.

    If your E2 free, bound test, shbg is really of importance to you, which would be if you wanna stay on as much as you can and still recover with the shortest time possible and have concerns there, then you may have to shop around for docs. sad but true

    lol youg'un.... HCG ??? did i read that right? You gonna have this guy go get a pregnancy test? lol Im sure it was supposed to be HGH..just found it funny

    You read correctly HCG doesnt Stand for women Chronic Gonadotropin it stands for Human Chronic Gonadotropin Suggesting that everyone does infact have it inthere blood and this will tell us if our naturall test has been shut off or not. i have this test done all the time. But you are right there is another test involving hcg for pregnance but it is taken by vaginal secretion instead of blood hcg levels

    HCG in men is usually only there if there is either a leydig cell tumors or a sertoli cell tumor, rare. Normally the amounts there in men and non-pregnant women are undetectable.
