Bloodwork question

[toilet]

Can someone please point me in the right direction to any stickies. I went to the bloodwork sub forum and there aren't any stickies but it mentions something about testing for things yourself and a steroid cleanse?

All of this is new to me since I haven't researched this aspect yet. But yeah also what things I need to get tested and why would be nice to know.

Going to start my first cycle soon of test e. I'm young and healthy so if I just tested my free and total test before during and after the cycle would that suffice given these tests are expensive

This is what you should do pre and mid cycle...

- Testosterone , Total
- Testosterone, Free
- Ultrasensitive E2
- Complete blood count
- comprehensive metabolic panel
- lipids

Post cycle... You should so the same, and add LH & FSH.

Thanks. And how do I go about this... surely I can't just walk into the doctors office with that list written down and demand it?

and especially coming in so often and with drastic changes... i know you are meant to just deny and say test booster but damn

Well, that's what I do, but if you can't, you can get panels ordered online. Just google "private blood work" and follow the instructions for whichever website you choose.

Thanks. and how do those work? I assume I must pick one from my country and then i order the tests then go in and get blood drawn or what? can i pick one from overseas and then take my own blood and mail it (sounds ludicrous) but how exactly does it work.

thanks again

"Choose the test(s) to be ordered
Select your lab location
Pay online
Create your personal account to access your requisition (and results)
Print your requisition for testing and take it to the lab location you selected for specimen collection
Access your results online and share them with your personal physician (if necessary)"

seems like I have to go to the physical location but all these sites seem to be USA/UK. none for new zealand fhk.. nvm think ive found some ill get in contact thanks

Do some leg work, toilet. Just follow their instructions. It's outlined in detail and will answer all your questions, no sense in me copying it here...
