Blood Test prices. How can I pay for this AND steroids?!
ad
I am looking at prices of blood tests. $98 for LH and FSH, $59 for E2, $79 for Total and Free Test, etc. And from what I have gathered, these were considered cheap. You would easily spend a few hundred bucks getting results on this stuff. Between this and a decent stack, ancillaries, PCT money adds up quick. I couldn't imagine what people spend once they start using HGH. Does anyone out there get frequent, or at least consistent blood work done?

I wish I had some helpful intel - I have been going to a HRT doc so it is part of the plan... I have had so many blood tests done in the last three months I am tired of it but wow very interesting. I will say something I am taking is working was sub 200 to start and last week tested at 600 plus.
To tag on to your thread w/ a question here.. what do I look for estrogen to see where that is ? It never came up and I have my last test - 5 pages of work and tests done. Do I just look for estrogen levels? I don't see it...
Anonit is called estradiol on the panel... if they even measured for it, which they should have given it is a hrt panel
Thanks Braveone. That helped out a lot. I went to the site and after some searching I came across the Male Hormone Testing panel for $170. With the info that is included with that test I am more than willing to pay that amount. What is the $60 test you mentioned? Can anyone else out there add some insight? I am just trying to figure out appropriate tests without breaking the bank. Anyone recommend any specific tests that a recreational steroid user should definitely get done?
AnonI mentioned before that you can do the female hormone panel and get everything you need for 59 $.....
Privatemd labs all the way. $60 for all the basic info you need and it couldn't be easier. I'm lucky I have a lab about a mile from my house. Found out my estro was 129! My wife says welcome to my world lol.
NICE QUESTION!!!
Nasty81NateGet ya a endocriniologist, tell em striaght up what the deal is. They can't say anything other than 'maybe you shouldn't do gear." Ask em to run the all tests, mine keeps a close eye on my levels and is more well-equipped to handle stuff if it's off.
Best decision I ever made.
AnonThank god I'm Canadian, we can get this stuff done free I believe.
That's always a plus, but even here in America, there is just no excuse for not forking over 98 bucks for vital information. If you're going to spend $600 on a short cycle, then throw out another bill for a blood test. You guys have health care figued out. Down here, corruption has taken over everything.
AnonBut I agree.. People need to get their levels checked.. Whats the point in getting all jacked and everything if you wont even be alive to appreciate it
AnonI wouldnt say figured out. The big thing here is no one is losing their house because of health care bills.
However where I'm originally from the wait times are awful. I remember when I was a kid and my dad broke his collarbone and his arm in 2 places falling from some scaffolding. he had to wait months for them to put pins in his arm. MONTHS
The fact that youre at least looking into it is a good thing. The vast majority of guys on here shouldn't even be messing with steroids because they don't know what the fuck they're doing. How many guys on here do you see talking about blood tests?? Very few, because these idiots don't care, and that's why eventually, they'll be right back where they started, except even smaller.
This is one of the most important aspects of steroid use, and watch how many different people post on this blog---it aint gonna be many, I can promise you that.
AnonPrivate MD labs order the female hormone panel ...fifty nine I believe...a d yes people do get consistent blood tests..it is important stuff
So far we have two people who have said the get tests. I am fully aware it's important that's why I am researching this. I am looking for insight on how people manage tests and who they get to do/monitor them. I am in the military, so if I wanted blood tests, I could get them for free. BUT, if my doc suspected I was using steroids, I would be investigated/tested for them. I researched tests, and came across some info on locating some discreet testing facilities (there are two about a half hour from my house), but the prices were CRAZY. $100-300 for EACH test. I found some online testing info and the prices where what I described above. I just wanted to see how other people who legitimately manage testing go about doing so.
