no they will just draw 3-4 vials of blood. Tell them you want a full blood panel with test levels and estrogen levels. I hope you have insurance... I know for a fact just the testosterone level test is almost $300.00 and that does not include any other bloodwork!

No, because you need a full lipid panel to show your cholestrol, blood count, etc. levels becaue they will be elevated. Total test will show where your levels are in conjunction with a healthy male, free test shows what amount of that test is free and not binded thus able to used for androgen development. LSH and FSH show your pitutary and if it has fully recovered or is still hindered. SHBG is one of the hormones that causes steroid gains to start to cease as the body aims for homeostatis. Liver and kidney should come back fine since no orals were in this cycle whatsoever and even when I was on a oral (Superdrol) my liver and kidney came back fine.

Remember time on + pct = time off. You might be able to start a little bit early if you get bloodwork again in a couple months and everything comes back normal.

Do what immortal said! the full panel is the way to go if you are going to get it drawn and tested
