Bloodwork / check up

**bigdreamz** · 07-22-2006, 09:57 AM

Been seeing a lot of people asking about blood work lately and being 36 with a family and all, I am concerned about keeping myself healthy as well. So I am about to go into week 6 of my 600mgTest Cyp and 400mgDeca/week cycle and thought that the halfway point would be a good time to get some blood work and see whats going on inside. So i just place my order with direct labs and we will see what happens. I will post my experience with this company since I have seen quite a few posts asking about them. I ordered the CWP (compete wellness profile) along with the testosterone total and free tests. Here is what I get

Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Thyroid Profile w/TSH
Lipid Profile
Liver Profile
Kidney Panel
Minerals and Bone
Fluids and Electrolytes
Diabetes
Testosterone, Total & Free

I would think this should give me a pretty good good indication of the sate that my body is in and what the cycle is doing. I did have a complete blood test done before my cycle through my doctor and everything was fine. So I will have a baseline to compare to.

Good idea. But make sure to get tested after pct, and when you think every thing is back to normal also.

this sounds interesting ive never heard of this b4. do u draw the blood and send it to them?

Cost was 172.00 for everything. if I just wanted the cwp and not test the test levels it would have been like 70 bucks.

NO YOU DON"T DRAW YOUR OWN BLOOD! Oh my god what a mess that would be.

they set it up with a local lab mine is going through Labcorp. It looks like that is the main lab that they use. I had a choice of about 15 different Labcorps to go to and just picked the one closest to me. They are supposed to do my papaerwork and mail the scrpit and info for the blood work on Monday. So far so good though. I will deffinetly do it again after pct and before next cycle to make sure everything is back to normal if all goes well with this experience.

BTW the site is directlabs.com

Oh sure Big, what's the deal you can stab yourself with gear but you can't draw blood?

J/K-I can stab myself anywhere, but when they draw my friggin blood I get a ll lightheaded and woozy, I could just see me trying that. $172 is pretty decent IMO.

im glad about the blood drawing part...lol our family doc is a female and friends with my wife who doesnt know about the source of my sudden increase in muscle mass. so im searching for a better way to get my post cycle blood work done.
