    Asking your doc for bloodwork

    What is your process for asking the doctor for bloodwork?

    I recently moved to GA and my new doc gave me an eerie feeling when asking for bloodwork. He was implying that he was "on to me".... and I imagine it would become quite obvious when he sees the results.

    Does this bother anyone or freak them out a bit? My doctor seemed very displeased and I am not sure if perhaps I should see another doctor or just say fuck it let him know and act shitty to me.

    Is there a way you all go about "vetting" a doc before using him as your "bloodwork" guy?

    You can go to a private lab and get blood work.

    The only way to have an idea about a doctor is by asking someone else who has been to the same doctor and had him/her work with them. Just asking a doctor that you have zero rapport with is not the way to go about it. Just do as mentioned earlier and go to an online lab and get the tests you want.

    I live in GA and any new doc I ever see I ask for full panel BW. That's the first thing I ever say when seeing a new doctor. Nothing wrong about asking for something so routine. Now if you asked him for hydrocodone or other, then yeah, be iffy.

    Always used either LabsMD or PrivateMDLabs, never my PCP.


    Depending if I want uncapped testosterone level results or not. The labcorp test caps it at 1500, but DLO shows the actual number.

    Never pull BW through your regular doc when you're on cycle, unless you and your doc have a good relationship and discuss things openly. Check discounted labs as well.

    Body Builder Testing | Private MD Labs


    Hormone panel for Females, it's under "bodybuilder" lol.. $66 and usually there's a 15% off code somewhere online. Keep in mind this test caps your total test number at 1500.

    On 450mg/week your testosterone level will be well over 1500. Or should be at least, also it depends on how long after your injection you draw blood.

    Here is one on LabsMD for $72 and it shows your actual total test number if it's over 1500.

    I didn't realize you wanted BW done on cycle. Yeah, unless you're open with your doctor (as I am), I'd use other routes.
