How important is pre and post cycle bloodwork?

[Blaz Kavlic]

How important is bloodwork? I am just about to start my cycle but i'm not keen on getting underway until I get bloodwork done. I've been to 3 different doctor clinics and have been turned down by them all, with the docs saying they didnt want to get involved or that it conflicts with the ethics of the profession to assist with illegal activities. I replied that I was going to cycle anyways, so it would be nice if they could help me get some tests done so I have a baseline to make a comparison with post-cycle. One doc even started asking me where I was getting it from which I thought was just plain nosey. Should I go in and just spin a yarn about feeling drained all the time and having a horribly low libido and my girlfriend is complaining that i'm not putting out?
I always prefer to be straight up about things, but it seems in this case that my honesty is not helping one bit.

If any Aussie members can share some ideas on what to do here, that would be a massive help.

Cheers
BK

You can go to doctors and request blood work free of charge. No need to explain anything about a cycle. This is what you need to cover;
Full Blood Count (FBC)
Androgen count
Estrogen count
Thyroid function
Total Cholesterol (including HDL and LDL)
Liver function
Kidney function
Prostate (PSA)

Thanks Lifta. This list is similar to the one I took to my regular GP and he just dismissed it saying I didnt need any of these except for maybe cholesterol. I'm going to try another clinic later in the week so i'll see how I go.
