+ 3 Where do you get blood tests done?
ad
I have completed 2 cycles and have never had any blood work done, but would like to start doing it before/after cycle now. I was wondering where I would go in the states to get this done and what type of test should I be getting there? Thanks.

If you are getting bloods done while on a cycle, make sure you use a test method decribed as LC/MS.
LAbsmd.com always uses this method, and most of us order the hormone panel for females ( just check the box for male)
If you don't order LC/MS you'll see results like >1500 instead of 3000 or 4000
@CBBurrr, thank you for this simple suggestion! Simple, but since I never thought of it, I wouldn't have used it. Yet again, great peeps adding to the amazing educational resource in the eroids forums. You rock. +1
Thanks for the info
Post cycle history, please.
Post diet and beginning weight prior to first cycle.
There are several options to choose from for blood work as well as businesses that provide the service. Privatemdlabs...labsmd are two that u can look into using.
Depending on your funds...a female hormone panel is cost effective, as stated below. There is an anabolic steroid profile that covers everything like PSA, LIPIDS, THYROID, etc...
my cycles:
first cycle: Test C 500mg/week and Dbol for first 4 weeks to kick start at 30mg/day...at the time of this cycle, I shouldn't have been cycling, but I ignored all the information out there and started cycling at 140lbs because I couldn't gain weight for anything at the end of this cycle I made it to 165 lbs and post cycle dropped to about 157.
second: My second cycle I did 500mg test C/week and 150mg super tren eod..this cycle was very beneficial, it peeked me to about 183, now I have recently finished PCT for that cycle and am at 175.
Diet: I don't have the best diet in the world, but not the worst either. I intake about 4000-4500cals/day, I normally eat about 5 times a day...I have a high protein intake and use red meats a lot, because my metabolism doesn't allow me to gain any body fat (I've been 5-7 percent all my life). But as for foods, for breakfast I normally have 4 eggs, with home made hashbrowns and some fruit. For an early lunch I usually have chicken and rice and chicken and pasta, for regular lunch, I end up having to get some take out, because I'm not home, so that usually consists of an unhealthy fast-food meal. Then I eat 2 more times, once around 4pm, once around 7pm. Those usually consist of some type of protein (chicken/steak/pork) and some veggies..I also drink isopure everyday and eat protein bars throughout the day for snacks.
Thank u for cycle history. Your diet sounds promising.
I usually go through these guys before and after cycles

@bearsfan1991, Which test do you normally order from them? (I'm looking in their "testosterone" section under HORMONES and there's a few to choose from. Just curious which you'd suggest.) Thanks for your time!
Hi there,
Twice I have used the "Hormone #2 Essential Blood Test Panel, Men" option from them. I was very pleased with the service and communication. I believe if you go to the website that option is number 4 on the "Most Popular" feature on the homepage.
Usually if you can catch it at the right time, it is very reasonable price wise. Right now, I believe it is $289 for the entire test. I paid $420 last time so the deal is very nice!
Good luck and let us know how it goes (:
Thanks, that one looks very affordable.

Make sure to share bro, especially since it's the first time you'll have ran bloods, you'll get a lot of great feedback on where your at when you get results.
Thanks, looks good!
Could've used magnifying glass and searched this, but all good
privatemdlabs, get female hormone panel. Runs about 60 bucks
