Type of blood test?

[Cruise123]

Hello,

Ive read that you are suppose to get a blood test before starting a cycle. When i go to my doctor what am I suppose to ask him to test for besides cholesterol? Thank you

Total test, free test and a sensitive E2 assay. Get a full hormone panel if possible.

So like, "what's up doc can I get one of those hormone panels along with a total bloodwork test?"

Yes. If you have a doc that's easy to work with. Otherwise go to http://www.privatemdlabs.com/ and read the "How it works" section.

Don't mention any AAS use, ever.

Tell him your energy is low and you wanted to be tested to see if you have low T. Any good doc will do it... Don't feel embarrassed, my family doctor has posters all over the office promoting TRT. Good Luck!

They should provide you with all whole panel to check! Any decent insurance will cover all of it, at least once...

So when i ask for all those tests my doctor is going to say sure. Why do you think you need thoses tests?


when you say "total test" and free test do you mean total testosterone?

Tell him the truth... You need those tests because your energy and sex drive are low! Just ask him blatantly to test all your test levels... They should do it... Low t is a big money maker for doctors because they get to bill insurance every 3 months for blood tests and office visits... It's nothing to be ashamed of... It's like asking a dentist if you have a cavity... I promise I have been there and when I asked my doctor was more than willing to help and be proactive about it..

Just be honest with him!!! If you had a sinus infection you wouldn't be shy to tell him the symptoms!!! It's the Same with low t... It is a legitimate issue! Be confident and tell him what you need!!

Good Luck bro!!!
