Bloodwork

**LeanBren** · 10-06-2015, 11:22 AM

Hey guys- what test are going to be appropriate for me...? I'm just now coming up on my week 10 of 1st cycle. I ran 500mg test-cyp n 450mg masteron -e weekly. Cutting at week 12... Have Nolva, clomid on hand for my pct. I have had a-dex as well but never needed on this cycle. No gyno, water retention, bloat, or acne, etc.. Some would say it would have helped keep my estrogen in check. I agree with this but again, I have felt really good throughout this cycle and just haven't felt i needed it. One thing I could have done, a blood test pre and mid. I screwed this part up. Please don't criticize me for it guys I just need to know the best option now... A wkm on this site told me I need Bloodwork for: Test total Test free Cbc Cmp E2 sensitive LH & FSH Lipids If that is correct, or if there should be an addition please let me know. I am also very tight on funds, do you guys know how much this type of test will cost out of pocket? Any ideas on good locations for this test? Thank you so much for your help. You guys have gotten me through this cycle!! I can't wait to post my results for my first cycle ever, I am 27, 5ft 10 Started at 171 lbs 8.8 body fat Currently at week 10 - 190 lbs 10% body fat

Actually you did need the adex on cycle. Elevated estrogen is very problematic in men. Just because you did not get gyno, etc does not mean you were good to go. Consider your overall health next time and control your estrogen. High estrogen results in problems internally. Gyno is the least of your concerns.

In this thread is a link to private md labs and descriptions of what to order. You can also take a look at discounted labs .com as well. If this is cash out of pocket you can get by with what you have listed.

Kelkel thank you for your confirmation.. Sounds good I am deff going to Chexk out some places I found locally.. I assume if I put the funds up for this I can post my results here and you can give feedback? ?. Thanks!

Also do you think it's worth running the adex now the last 3.5 weeks of my cycle ?

Absolutely. Run it right up to pct.
