Fasting before labs?

[erick r]

Hey all, so I finally found what I believe is a friendly doctor and I'm excited to skip the online bs. He ordered all the necessary lab work and I can go in whenever to get the test at labcorp. But with that being said I don't want to make him feel like he's at risk by prescribing anything.

The lab test says to fast for 6 hours first. I'm wondering if not fasting will make my test look lower? I've heard of getting hammered drunk the night before too..

Don't get hammered drunk and if it calls for fasting then go fasting.

The point of getting bloods is to see where your normal levels are. He may wanna see you're blood/sugar levels, cholesterol etc. so just go fasted.

I find it easier to not eat in evening so then go to the lab the next morning.

Yea.. I get all that but I don't want to pay for all this shit and then have him say oh you're on the cusp so no Test for you.

Well whatever ya do don't listen to this guy, he said his test came back at 1179 and he has NEVER used any AAS!!! Ya don't what that..

1179 over all...pretty damn high and I took the test 5 months ago, so taking a retest in case the number got skewed somehow. Got the test thru my doc so may go to labsmd for the retest sometime after the holidays.

what have your previous bloods shown for test levels?

400-500 test, low free test. I forget the rest. I do have symptoms of gyno though among other low test symptoms, shitty sleep and ED. This particular doctors company is all about test though, its in their company name so I'm hoping he'll still hook it up even if I'm somewhat normal or higher then normal.

 

[lucabratzi]

if you want to have low test for sure and get a script run prop for a few weeks. Then stop taking it and wait 2 weeks for bloods. You're test should be shot.

I highly doubt 1 night of drinking will drop your test significantly. If your an alcoholic then yes you're levels will be surpressed but not from one night. That's just a guess though.

You're test levels are fine. Your other symptoms are either due to something else or simply in your head.

Might be considered fine to you but i'd like more.

Whether you'd like it more or not has no bearing on being a candidate for TRT. You want to blast and cruise which is fine but abusing TRT is one reason why steroids will continue to be demonized.

Well it's either that or risk getting some potentially dangerous shit online for lots of people.

Exactly how big of a risk is it to get dangerous shit? Where are all the reports of ppl being hospitalized and/or dying from UGL gear? Worst case scenario you spend an extra few bucks on a syringe filter and 95%+ of the dangerous shit can be taken care of.
