Blood work question

Planning ahead for mid cycle bloods.

Plan to use the recommended private-md-labs / dot com.

I was looking at the following package and was hoping the experts could see if I would be missing anything. Thanks

Estradiol
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Looks good(maybe not necessary to include carbon dioxide and calcium, but that is just me).
But I would also include lipids(total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides), and thyroid status: TSH and free-T4. And SHBG.

Hopefully the more experience members will correct me if there is something else that you should add. Best of luck buddy!

Thanks man.

Really only interested in the free and total T, and the estrogen.

But private mad labs only has these "packages"

This was the cheapest one that had the three main things.

You should look at T3/T4/TSH for your thyroid to see your metabolism. You should also check you liver enzyme. Cycling can be hard on the liver.

Thanks man...Wish there was a "i am 6 weeks into 400mg of test per week" blood package ha ha.

DocD put together a very good thread on blood work via private labs. Search it up or I believe there's a link to it in Austinites "Successful First Cycle" thread.
