How Often do you get labs done?

[andrew.peplin]

Was reading Phil's thread on what to look for in labs and figured I would put up this thread to see the hard facts on how many members actually get bloods done.


Figure this will be interesting

LABS

I get labs every month, no questions asked. I want to know asap if something is going on.

 

[flipper2012]

4-5 times a year

 

[GaJoe]

every 4 months...

 

[FordFan]

Before I start my cycle, then if I do say 4 wks with orals, 4wks off, then 4 wks on again, I will get labs before I start the second rd of orals just to make sure all is safe. So normally 2 labs per cycle.

 

[E.J.]

Every 6 months.

 

[saps]

Every other month. Sometimes it on a cruise and sometimes its on a blast, good to have data for all times

 

[Ghetto Gunfighter]

A couple of times a year, while cruising. Looking at the previous replies, I should probably do a couple more during blasts as well.

 

[cardealer]

Fou times a year

 

[jm425]

Every 3 months.

 

[mickeymbbc]

I get blood work after every cycle myself. Sometimes I like getting blood work mid cycle.

 

[Dado5]

every 6 years

 

[F0cus]

2-3x a year... With hgh every batch just to make sure it's real

 

[negaburn9]

every 3 months. i dont trust ugls and i am on trt and value my health. it amazes me how many people take these chemicals in high dosages and don't bother with lab work. Natural selection I guess.

 

[Bigwimp]

every 2 months

 

[pryde]

Every 90 days

1st thing I want to know is how your insurance is still paying for all the excessive labs ? 2nd, is it your doc ordering them for a specific medical purpose to get around the insurance issue ? Are you buying the test online and submitting them to a 3rd party to be analyzed ? I only get labs twice a year now on Trt from my Endo. I can go into any walk in clinic and get labs done that I want I guess but if I do it too much my insurance won't cover the testing.

I have never used a doctor always go through private md labs, most poeple here are probably going to answer the same.

I just started TRT is why I have to go in every two months. Doctor wants to see that everything is where it is supposed to be before he just calls in my prescription. I am guessing that if everything stays the same after multiple blood work that he may change it to every 5 months. My prescription is good for 10 weeks before I run out. Insurance has paid for every blood test so far.

My cycles are only test 500-700mg a week, with occasional trenbolone 350-500 mg a week. Im used to these cycles, dont believe they are terribly stressful on my body. I havent ever had a lab test done, but may get one done in the future, definately if i thought i was having a problem
