Blood work question
ad
Went into the Docs to get a requisition for some blood work. Now I'm looking at it and I noticed under the Endocrine section he did not check off any Estradiol, FSH, or LH.
Is going to get the blood work done a waste of time if I don't get results back for those???
I have not cycled nor am I undergoing a cycle currently. Just curious on how my current bodies numbers are..
Thanks!

Test Serum is the most important one, but those other 3 are quite helpful to know. Tell your doc you cry for sad movies, and wonder if your estro is high.
Makes sense.
Test Serum is same thing as Free Testosterone?
Like if I was going to gauge my AI I would need to know Estradiol levels correct? Then the FSH and LH are indicators for the PCT?
Is your insurance paying for it? If it is then I say just play along with the DR. If you have not cycled yet the testosterone number is probably the most important one, but honestly the FSH/LH is pretty damn important as well.
You could always just throw down 50 bucks and get the female hormone panel from lab corp.

Thanks for your quick reply as my blood work test is booked for tomorrow morning.
I live in Canada so yeah, public healthcare, government has got my back
What about for estrogen levels, that is Estradiol correct?
Is there like a specific list of which ones that Doc should have checked off when I plan on using AAS in the future? I have been looking around but haven't really found like a "most recommended list" type deal.
Thanks,
Yes,Test, estrodial,FSH and LH to establish a baseline. If you ever plan on running GH also include IGF-1
But just as important are you liver values and full lipid profile. That stuff will show if you have any underlying issues,.
+2 for getting bloods.
