As a noob wasn't sure what bloodwork to get and where to get it discretely.
Thanks to some vets/eRoiders I have found: [PM Vascular for website] and had the "Hormone Panel for Females" done today. The test description is as follows:

"Description: ***Both MALES and FEMALES order this panel, please be sure to enter the gender that you want reference ranges for when placing your order, as each gender has different reference ranges for these tests. ***
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when menstruation stops permanently. Most women go through menopause between ages 45 and 55. In the US the average age for menstrual periods to stop completely is 51.

This panel will help diagnose the onset of menopause. Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
-Estradiol, serum;
-Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH);
-Luteinizing Hormone (LH);
-Testosterone, serum;
-Complete Blood Count (CBC): Hematocrit; hemoglobin; mean corpuscular volume (MCV); mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH); mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC); red cell distribution width (RDW); percentage and absolute differential counts; platelet count; red cell count; white blood cell count; immature granulocytes.
-Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP): A:G ratio; albumin, serum; alkaline phosphatase, serum; ALT (SGPT); AST (SGOT); bilirubin, total; BUN; BUN:creatinine ratio; calcium, serum; carbon dioxide, total; chloride, serum; creatinine, serum; globulin, total; glucose, serum; potassium, serum; protein, total, serum; sodium, serum.

Patient Instructions: Patient should fast for 12 hours preceding collection of specimen. If using a testosterone cream please be sure you have not rubbed any into the antecubital area of your arm for the last 24 hours as it can give elevated results."

The test above covers pretty much everything I've researched in terms of noob bloodwork pre-cycle, on-cycle and post-cycle.

Hope this helps other members. Best part? The test only costs $59.90. If you just spent several hundred dollars on gear, then you can afford to get pre and post cycle bloodwork. I can't speak for the West Coast but this lab covers all of the East Coast and it is discrete.

In the end, I just don't see how you can confirm the following critcial things about your cycle without bloodowork:
1. What are your baseline/normal levels?
2. How effective is the gear you're taking?
3. When you are returned to your normal levels and so when can/should you cycle again?
4. How effective have your AIs and PCT been?

So go do it. No excuses IMO.
