The Basics of Ordering Bloodwork

I will be running test mast deca soon just wondering if the female hormone panel from labsmd will show accurate test levels. I know @Burrr you said deca or tren will effect the privatemelabs test.
 
yes, labsmd.com will give you the correct info. They use the LC/MS testing method
 
Hi im new to this all and was wondering why i cant just go to a local HRT doctors office and have blood taken?
you can, and it will cost much much more

and they will probably refuse to see you again after your results show 5000 ng/dl of testosterone

Even with insurance? This is a baseline blood test. Also will a post cycle test raise red flags with insurance?
 
I think that shbg is more important for diagnosing low t, and for on trt blood work. Probably not too important when you are pinning 500mg a week

Hello good sir,

What blood test would I order if I have low T (non-steroid use) and want to check my free T and SBGH? I'm guessing I should check that link first as it may contain descriptions of the tests. Just didn't want to lose the page I was on for this thread
 
when you go to labsmd you can pick and choose all the tests you want.

I'm really not that well informed on precycle bloods for women, I know what the test for menopause and HRT.

I bet the same female hormone panel we use would be enough
@Burrr
What test would a female look for to get her baseline hormones checked prior to a cycle??
 
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.

Labsmd.com also offers a female hormone panel and costs about $70.
LabsMD - Simple and Secure Lab Tests Online

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

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.
So labmd link is the one used if you are using tren or deca?
 
question about turn around time on bloodwork.

My pre-cycle bloods came back in about 24 hours.
My mid cycle is taking longer, safe to assume because of LC/MS.
Just curious how long it usually takes for mid cycles results to come back.

using privatemdlabs.
 
Looking for some help, I live in New Jersey and apparently this suck ass state has made it illegal to allow LabCorp to draw blood for my hormone level's to be checked. They check your state ID at the lab and because it's issued in New Jersey I would not be able to get the bloodwork done but if I lived in Pennsylvania and had a PA state ID I could get the bloodwork done.... Crazy!!! I just started a cycle of Test Cyp low dose and have experienced a little bit of anxiety and wanted to see what my levels were in case my estrogen was out of whack and I might need to take an AI or something to help. I'm only into me second week and I don't want to get into any trouble with my levels not being checked. Does anyone out here have any suggestions on how I can get my blood work done in any other way since this state is so fucked and I can't do it in the process mentioned on the first post of this chain?
 
A low dose of just Test C won't make you get to loopy. You will get anxiety because you're thinking about and if it's your time you will think of all sorts of situations and side effects you're having. One is looking in the mirror and waiting to see Arnold staring back at you! You should try .5 Adex EOD if you feel the need. Remember it takes 3-4 weeks for it to even amount in your blood. As long as your nipples don't itch and your blood pressure is fine you will be ok. Wait till you try Tren and you wait to die... lol! Just my 2 cents. If you're not running over 800 ml you're just fine. Your body temp will rise and sweat a little easier that's about it.
