Which blood test would you choose?

[Painjunky]

This first option was advised already as covering the essential tests but Id like a second opinion as this will be my first blood test that I will be doing with out a dr reviewing and only sharing minimal results info.

Im currently on hgh (2weeks in) . Im not concerned about its legitimacy so Im not sure if an igf-1 test is necessary since Ive already started.
Which would you recommend as pre aas blood work and overall exam of my system?

I would just see your doctor and tell him you want your testosterone levels checked. This is what I do every cycle. It is patient-doctor privilege.

Not in England. My doctors refused to do so for 'ethical' reasons.





BTW - I went for the check that includes


Test Levels
LH
FSH
Estrogen


Form my understanding thats all you really need Pre and Post cycle with just Test and Estrogen Mid cycle!

Fire that Tosser! Ethical reasons, SMH at that doctor. I would suggest that you get your liver enzymes and Cholesterol total and LDL and HDL as well.

^^ This . Seeing how AAS effects your health and not just your hormones is super important .

eg., if you run a cycle with winny and find that after the cycle your HDL/LDL is totally out of whack then you may want to stay away from it in the future . or if you run a Deca cycle and you find that after using it your Hematocrit levels are off the chart you may want to stay away from it. If an Anadrol cycle raises your liver enzymes 20 fold, then stay away from it.

its not just about hormones , AAS effects ALL your blood work and health factors . get a full spectrum blood test and CBC

I am also interested in an answer to the OPs question. I’ve looked at both these tests. Which is better?

Pre cycle you'd want option #2 as it includes LH/FSH which shows pituitary function, which is what you shut down when on cycle and restart post cycle.
Mid cycle #1 is appropriate.

Thanks! That helps.
