    mid cycle bloodwork/hcg

    I posted this in the confidential bloodwork but got nothing so I'll try here . I'm coming up on my mid cycle bloodwork, I need to know what I'm gonna need checked. I searched for the answer but only really got total test and E2 levels. What should I ask the doc for? And 2nd question is hcg (mixed) is supposed to be refrigerated, I left mine out. Just a few days, no humidity or sun. Still good?

    I would get a full hormone panel. Your hcg may have lost some potency but I would use it

    This might be a dumb question, I've never donated blood before can they or will they do a hormonal check? Can I get what I need to know from them?

    Hormone panel like Bio said to include TT, FT and a sensitive estrogen asssay as well as CBC, CMP.
    HCG is fine.

    no you need to go to a lab to get your labs done and a donation center to donate

    And if you do give blood, you will have to fib a bit on some questions or you'll be denied. The questions will be obvious.

    they donate blood when there hematocrit level gets to high. Yes high crit makes your blood thicker
