Blood work

[Giacomo]

I'm not familiar with the different nomenclatures, acronyms and indicators when getting blood work done. I want to make sure when I run TestE I do eveything correct. I found a private lab couple miles from my house. So my question is when do I need blood work, what exactly will I be looking for and how many times should I get it checked ie; before, during and before PCT? Thank you for your help, not sure if this is a stupid question but I've always been the type of person that if I do something I want to do it 100%right. Thanks again.

Regards, Giacomo

Yes before, after and during. The before and after is to ensure you recover correctly. The during is to make sure blood isn't over thickening, liver values aren't going crazy and to check estrogen. There are other tests you sometimes want depending what you're running. Here's three tests from privatemdlabs, not sure if that's the lab you're going to but you can refer to it on what items to test for.

Hormone Panel for Females (pre-post cycle capped at 1500 testosterone)

Hormone Panel with Testosterone LC/MS-MS (mid-cycle uncapped testosterone)

Hormone Panel with F&T Testosterone LC/MS-MS (uncapped testosterone and include F/T but is capped at 50, which if on cycle probably above 50)

Thank you RedMorkai it's much appreciated. The one really close to my house aren't a part of PrivateMdLabs but after looking at them I'm going to go with your suggestion, they're much more reasonable and they definitely seem to have far more experience with these types of test. Thanks again Red.

Hey Red, for the Hormone panel for females pre and post run, what exactly will I be looking for? Estradiol, estrogen levels, Test levels,.lipid's? Or will the lab help with sorting through the info? Thanks RedMorkai.

Thanks Dylan and Red, sorry for all the "Newb" questions but like I said I'd rather do it right when I do it than screw myself up for good. Thanks again.
