    They're legal in cali. I always use private md labs, and get the female hormone panel with added sensitive e2. You can get lc/ms through priavte md labs you just have to pick the right test.

    edit: it may have changed recently but last time I did bloodwork last year it was legal. I haven't done blodwork this year because I haven't even ran gear fir more than 5 weeks due to personal issues arising. I haven't even used my trt dose most of the year.

    I think you'd save money using labs MD because you wouldn't have to add the e2 assay.

    I never really looked around at prices. I always find a 15% off coupon, but I will check those out. I jeed to get some bloodwork, something is off since I haven't been taking my trt test.

    That's not cool man.

    Hopefully it isn't anything serious.

    If you just want to check one or two things like e2, PRL or HCT then discounted labs has great prices on single tests.

    Thanks for the tip. I just need to check e2, and PRL. HCT is always in check I donate every 8 weeks, and I haven't even been on anything now for about 8 weeks. Before that I started a blast, and about 5 weeks in my buddy was killed in a car accident. Ever since then I haven't used anything and haven't even been in the gym much. I think it might be stress, but something is off. I lost about 20 pounds since all this happened.

    Do you actually need to donate or is it just habit?

    Its just become habit, and they constantly call because they need my blood type. I also feel better with frequent donations, if my hematocrit gets above 51-52 I start to have headaches, and my blood pressure gets higher than I like.

    I too, have always used private md labs and I'm in CA... Numbere didn't you tell me PA changed? It was the only state around like 3-4 that didn't allow pins etc - and now are they preventing that in PA... I'll have to look now in Cali I just planned on hopping on online like usual -

    Private blood work was legal in PA as of 2 months ago.

    As far as I know things haven't changed.

    Pins are legal too, I buy slin pins from CVS sometimes.

    Legitimate research companies no longer ship to PA.

    It has something to do with royalties on patented chemicals are too high.
