What Blood work?
ad
This is an area I wonder if everyone is interested in. We spend a lot of money and effort looking good on the outside, but do we care what we look like on the inside?
What Blood work is suggested after a cycle?
Do you personally do blood work after every cycle?
What's the bare minimum blood work or other tests one should do?

Anonyes the female hormone panel will give you the basics you need with out the extra cost.
what about Liver
Anonyes get the liver function test.. look at the panels they spell it all out for you ;-)

Anonyes
thanks
Anonyou are welcome ;-)
Blood work is very important and really easy to do. In fact i have had mine drawn 6 weeks ago, and again yesterday to make sure everything was good to go for this cycle i'm starting this week. You might check with your health insurance to see what they will pay on bloodwork. I have two different health insurance providers and i don't have to pay anything.
AnonYou want to hit a hormone panel, use the female hormone panel if you are short on cash for the bare minimum.. You can go to pvtmedlabs.com and they list ALL the panels they do and prices. You'll need to make sure that you do a cholesterol check during your off cycle to make sure your levels have recovered especially if the gear you are using has an adverse affect (like winstrol). I like to get hormones, liver functioning, thryroid, and cholesterol checked and I make sure that my hormone levels are stable before I start on cycle and run at least one after cycle.
Don't suppose you know the code for Hormone panel on a quest diagnostics form. My doc wants some tests done so I figured I would just put a couple extra tests on the form and see what happens.
Anoncall quest and ask
Duh! I just can't figure out the obvious sometimes. LOL Thanks grrrrrrl
Blood sugar?
Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia can have quite a few of the same symtoms as low testosterone levels.
ETA: You can buy a glucose test meter off Flea-Bay for minumum $'s ($10 or less if your quick), it may or may not come with test strips. Test strips are also available, just get the right ones for your meter. Lances (aka: stabber) are also available for those that need a daily pinning fix without the use of compounds.
Daily Pinning fix... lol now we're talking. Thank you for the comment I'll check it out
Anongood point K
AnonBlood sugar can be checked also but I personally don't have any issues with it or experience any symptoms of high or low blood sugar.. (read: too spoiled and hungry to do a fasting blood test unless ordered by doctor) ;-)... I also keep my hgh to a very low dosage ..
JtizzlePersonally cholesterol is something I always stay on top of on and off cycle.. My grandfather died at 35 from heart problems so my dad raised me to check often..
Blood work is extremely important bro. I do a minimum of 3, before, during and after a cycle.
