The Basics of Ordering Bloodwork

Look at the first post on this thread .
Nice thread this is really informative bro. I'm ready to get pre cycle bloodwork done and bein's its my first cycle I'm only using Test E @500mg/week. I went on Labmd and saw all the tests but the names are really confusing. I'll only need the basics for the pre bloods, but for my mid cycle I'm sure I'll be above 1500 so I'll need the right test to see how things are going. I read through all the tests and a Female deluxe Hormone test, but that sucker was like 270.00 bucks. What's the actual name on Labmd's site for the test where a guy can see testosterone levels above 1500?

There's a sticky on the forum. It tells you what blood test you need. Look for it. I believe it's the female hormonal. I paid $65

I got the "Hormone Panel for Females." LabsMD - Simple and Secure Lab Tests Online

You get a complete blood count with platelets, comp metabolic profile, estradiol, fsh, lh, and total test LC/MS/MS which means they give you the exact number. This is the one I got done a few weeks ago.
 
Quick Question and could use a quick response. I'm 2 1/2 weeks into a Sust and Tren cycle and plan on getting bloods on week 6. But today I feel sick as fuck and my kid has an ear infection which means I probably got some kind of sinus infection so I'm going to the doctor anyway to get some antibiotics cuz I feel like complete shit.

So while I'm there and since I'm paying a copay already, would it be of any use to get some bloods done at the 2 and a half week mark? Or would that be too early to tell shit? Im still going to on week 6 but is it worth getting stuck in the arm to look at my levels on week 2?

I'm also in 2 1/2 weeks on Test 300 and Dbol. And I've been sick as fuk in the sinuses and throats and head for a couple days. Sucks hella bad bro. I'm getting bloods done every 3 weeks, so w3 w6 w9 w12, and then I'll get some after PCT just to see how I recovered. You don't have to get bloods that often, or at all I supposed if you really don't care (I'd at least get mid cycles done so you can check estrogen levels and adjust AI) but I think it's really interesting to see what's going on, and bloodwork is cheap. It's your body, treat it and this cycle like you want to ace a college biology/chemistry project.

Yeah i agree because this is a chemistry exam you dont want to flunk. It always disgusts me when i see guys pinning gear @ the gym w/o any knowledge of what pct is much less an ancillary. But hey its their body. And their problem when they hit 40 and their wife is so frustrated she rides the washing machine while its on spin mode. Lol
 
I'm sure the answer us in this thread somewhere but I only skimmed to page 3. If on tren, you need the ultrasensitive test for accurate e2 results. Is there a test that will tell total testosterone and also the correct reading for e2 when on tren or do you have to order 2 seperate tests?
 
My blood work I picked up from the dr today. I pin every Saturday and I'm on trt at 150mg a week of test cyp but have been holding back a little and doing about 100mg per week. Bloods were pulled on Saturday morning before my pin so I hadn't had a shot since the previous Saturday. So I'm just curious on how good this test cyp is based on the numbers. He also started my on 1mg of arimidex per week. image.jpeg
 
Hey Guys I just did my LABS because I wanted to start my first cycle after being natty for 3 years with decent results for 37 years old (195lbs,6ft,15%BF)So I did hormone panel for females at private MD labs and my total T is 270ng/dl ,and Estradiol <5.AST is a bit high at 47 ALTD 48,LH1.9 FSH5.5.
So my question is if I go to the doctor do you think he will put me on TRT,or should I start cycle on my own?thanks
 
Some Dr's would say you are still normal, even thought you are low. I'd hit up a hormone clinic rather than a general practitioner.

It comes up often, and I thought it would be helpful to have links all in one thread.

For best results, get bloods taken pre cycle, mid cycle, and a couple months after PCT.

Pre cycle and post cycle bloods can be done the cheapest, You can order the "female hormone panel" from privatemdlabs.com. This test will give you blood info, LH, FSH test and estro numbers that are correct if your not on a cycle. This test costs $62 and often has discount codes available.
Private MD - Buy Lab Tests Online

Labsmd.com also offers a female hormone panel and costs about $70.

Mid cycle bloods can not be done as cheaply. The testing method needs to be LC/MS.
The privateMD female panel cuts off at a test level of 1500.
You can use the female hormone panel from Labsmd.com
LabsMD - Simple and Secure Lab Tests Online

If your cycle does not include deca, tren, or similar 19-nors you can use a few different tests from privateMD. PrivateMD will often give false readings from blood containing tren or deca. The tren shows up as E2 and the deca shows up as grossly exagortated test level.


This hormone panel costs $99 and will give an accurate test number over 1500.

Labsmd.com uses Quest Diagnostics for there blood draws and lab work.
PrivateMDlabs.com uses LabCorp for blood draws and lab work.
The company you order from functions as your DR and orders the tests for you. There are labs all over the country, it should be easy to find one near you.
Great port brother thanks.
 
just finished my liver evaluation last week from a liver desease center and the doctor said AST elevation is definately from weightlifting .Don't need to take anything or change anything on daily basis.
 
What's the best time to get bloods for a test prop cycle ?
24 hours after pin? 8 hours after pin ? 12 after pin ?
 
I'm getting blood work done tomorrow first time. I ordered my tests through privatemd and this is probably a dumb question but do you pay the lab for the actual blood work or is what you pay online covering the tests?
