I have been off cycle for 6 weeks now and am getting my blood work done. I am going to get my test levels, LDL, HDL, and thyroid checked ( cause I never have) and want to establish a baseline. What other values should I get checked while I am there. FYI my doc will check whatever I ask her too. Thanks
that should be comprehensive enough.Quote:

since you have those covered i would just ask what else would be a good addition to those.
an MD should be able to recommend what else to test that would benefit you, however if there is a significant price increase i wouldn't add anything else.
I wish I had a cool doc. Mine is so **** old school its sick. Would'nt even give me Viagra
You may as well get liver function enzyme values checked, since you're doing bloodwork anyway. You'd like to see total and free test levels. How about a hematocrit too? Let's see if AAS significantly raise your RBC count....although I assume we have no baseline value.Quote:

Thanks for reminding me, I do need to get my liver enzymes checked I almost forgot.

why not get it all done!
GH
IGF1
Test ( free, total, bioactive)
Estrogen
actc
cortisol
t4
t3
rt3
tsh
dht
fasting glucose
insulin
That will probably take two visits...most males can't give more than about 5 vials at a time...and that's usually 10 vials.
Those are the tests I get done, on advice from my endocronologist/nutritionist.
