    Doc check up

    Hey I wanted to get tested before I go on my cycle and I'm wondering what should I get checked up specifically ? I medical insurance so it's not a problem for me if I have to ask for something out of the ordinary and pay the difference. If someone could please give me some info I would really appreciate it. Thanks you peeps!

    Try this:

    • Total Testosterone
    • Bioavailable Testosterone (AKA “Free and Loosely Bound”)
    • Free Testosterone (if Bioavailable T is unavailable)
    • SHBG
    • DHT (perhaps) *Gel user especially pay attention to this.
    • Estradiol (specify “sensitive” assay for males)
    • LH
    • FSH
    • Prolactin
    • Cortisol
    • Thyroid Panel
    • CBC
    • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
    • Lipid Profile
    • PSA (age dependent)
    • IGF -1, IGFBP-3 (if HGH therapy is being considered)
    Vitamin D
