Getting blood work done tomorrow

[yogiblood]

I'm going to ask tests for the following:
FBC
Liver and Kidney Function
FSH
LH
TSH
and Cholesterol

I've had my blood work done before but they only told me about having a high cholesterol (wasn't active, eating like shit) a few months ago, and some other stuff (Was done during a regular check up). If I am asked why do I want these tests done, will the answer "for my personal health concerns before my insurance drops me" be ok?

I have an old asian doctor, he never seems the type to think you're bullshitting either. He's been my family's doctor for a while but I recently started using him. What do you guys think?

Ok, I thought it was a good idea to get the stuff I mentioned counted before a cycle? Isn't it highly recommended?

If you are interested in Lab testing after your insurance expires- you do not need a doctors orders- you can go to a discount lab testing service online. I go to **broken link removed** they are cheap, confidential, all testing is done at LabCorp or Quest and I get my results in usually 1-2 days. Best of all I save the time and cost of the initial doctors visit for him to order the testing that I want. I just go whenever I see anything that is out of range or if I have a question.

When i got mine done i told my doc that i hired a new personal trainer and he REQUIRED all of these tests before he will accept me as a client and that he needed these tests to make sure that there is nothing wrong or problematic.
