Looking at getting bloods done. Running test c and tren a. Which test should I take? Thanks

 

[NrgJake]

For a Test P cycle, when should bloods be drawn? As Test P is a shorter ester, would 24 hours after last pin be appropriate?

Seems for Test E or C most people are getting blood work at around 48 hours.

Anyone have experience getting labs done at privatemd while running test and npp? Does the npp always register as test?

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.

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
https://labsmd.com/tests.php?view=all&show=2234&category=14&search=#2234

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.

Wish I would've read this before I wasted 60 bucks for the female hormone panel( privatemd)for my mid cycle bloods. I read 1500ng/dl on my results and was like FUCK my test is underdosed. Then I read this and was like oh thats why its only 1500. So the 99$ Hormone panel from private md will give me an accurate reading ??

Fast, to get a number over 1500 your test method for Testosterone should read LC/MS
that $99 test should do it.

Is there anyway I could just go to my doctor and ask for blood work? Sorry if that's and dumb question I'm new here.

 

[MisterBiggins]

If I wanted to test hgh what panel would I use? I know its 10ius 3.5 hours later test but I need to know what panel to ask for and How long should I wait to retest to check for an igf -1 change?

What reason will you give your DR for wanting to know your testosterone level?
For the purpose of doing steroids, most of us like to keep that kind of info on the down low.

DJX, since most of us are getting bloods pretty often we don't go the dr route unless we are really on TRT though the doc. We also need to do mid cycle bloods, try explaining to your doc why your testosterone is 5x the normal level, but you think you have low t symptoms.
$75 blood tests are one of the cheaper parts of doing a good cycle, gonna have to arrange your personal budget to fit them in, along with the gear, pct and food.

They can simply put it in your medical record, and then if you are American your privacy is fucked. http://patientprivacyrights.org/basic-health-privacy-faqs/

Are there any privacy/security considerations when ordering tests from privateMD and the like? Using real name and address information, etc.

Thanks!

I had no issue using my real name (need to because you're paying with a credit card online) and address. The place that draws blood don't even asked for ID's. You just hand them the work-order, grab a sit, and 5 minutes later you're done!

I do notice that privateMD results are usually with in 1-2days and LabsMD is 3-5 days
