If you have the financial capability and/or Insurance and a willing healthcare professional I would run the following. At your age (32) this will give you a lot of information for future purposes. Not just for recovery from PCT but possibly TRT 20 years down the line ( you have a target to shoot for). That's my advice.

  1. LH
  2. FSH
  3. DHEA
  4. Pregnenolone
  5. Progesterone
  6. Prolactin
  7. Estradiol - sensitive, not regular.
  8. Metabolic Profile Panel
  9. CBC
  10. Thyroid Panel (not just TSH, get full panel)
  11. Lipid Panel
  12. Total Testosterone
  13. Free Testosterone
  14. SHBG
  15. Growth Hormone Serum
  16. IGF-I
  17. Vitamin D
  18. Vitamin B12
  19. Dihydrotestosterone, %DHT Free, DHT, Free

First, there are probably hundreds of articles about what you just asked. Use the search function (the magnifying glass up top) and search your question out.

Second, what blood levels are you looking for? If it's test, estro, etc., you should ask for the female panel.

Edit this post and include your stats, I know it's on your profile, but it will make it easier for everyone. It's good that you are wanting blood work. Most guys don't even think of that, so way to go for being prepared. Here is a good read on blood work (http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/pct-anti-estrogens/labwork)
