advise on blood work

[strongman456]

I am completely in the dark on getting blood work. I have ran 2 cycles but was not smart enough to get blood work before or after. I have read there are confidential type of blood tests, but what about just going to a physician? Also wondering what kind of doctor. I don't really care if they question me about using. thanks

just go to your normal doctor PCP and tell them you are tired and libido is low and ask for full bloodwork including hormones.

what he said.... or their is some places online that you can buy the test, then go to a local clinic to have the blood drawn.

Actually, you are better off ordering a set of tests online and getting the blood drawn at a local facility.

Your doctor wont necessarily order an adequate panel unless you ask.
You want:
testosterone (total and free)
DHT
LH
FSH
Estradiol
SHBG
Thyroid
Liver panel
CBC
Basic lipid panel
psa once in a while is good

If you are involved with gh or ghrp6, get an igf-1 too.

Depending on your family history and magnitude of gear use, you may want to get screened for genetic clotting disorders. (this need only be done once).
