Blood work poll

[HackTwat]

OK Fellas,.....

As some here may know, I am a career Medical Laboratory Technologist. I have been in the Lab field for about 20 years and have over the past few years been collecting data for several of my "gym rat" buddies. I am trying to compile as much data as possible in regards to lab values pre-cycle as well as on-cycle.

So, Post em up for me guys.....Sort of like this...

Example:
Pre-Cycle: CBC=??
HDL=??
Test=??

During Cycle: Post what is being taken. How many mg and at what dosing schedule, etc...

Post-Cycle: How long since last oral/injectable, etc....vs when labs obtained....

I'm just doing some research and hoping that at least a few of you guys have some Bloods sitting around to post up...

Thanks guys....

And, Just so yall know, I dont claim to be some Doctor or lab guru or anything of the sort.

I'm just an over zealous meathead and my curiosity gets the best of me over certain things. There are inumerable equations and variables galore to understanding individual lab tests. And, with the amount of calories we all injest there adds to it a whole other spectrum of specificty that leaves alot of unanswered questions. So, please dont look to me as a man with answers. I do not hold a PHD nor do I want one.

Just a fellow Gym Rat/Meathead who happens to also be a labrat. I consider it a good match...LMAO!!!

I do know someone that takes their labs before during and after every time and has narrowed down that way what causes the most damage and therefore knows what to avoid. Pretty good idea if you think about it, plus you can get lab work for like $50 bucks now days and not have it on your insurance.

 

[fstr03svtcobra]

This is a great idea! I'll be sure to add something when next time I get bloods.

 

[HackTwat]

Cool Deal. Yeah, most of the time when I'm on here I'm at work anyway. Workin hard for a living....LMAO!!!!

So, its like a constant addiction

Where do you get bloods for 50$? I use private md labs....but its like 50 for just "test" results. I have done bloods for recovery of last cycle....and about to do bloods for "mid" cycle 5 weeks in. But was only going to test ( test, est, and prolac)

your picking the wrong test my friend, pick the hormone panel for females (it get your test levels cheaper than doing it under the men or alone) it includes... Includes:
-Estradiol, serum;
-Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH);
-Luteinizing Hormone (LH);
-Testosterone, serum;
-Complete Blood Count (CBC): Hematocrit; hemoglobin; mean corpuscular volume (MCV); mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH); mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC); red cell distribution width (RDW); percentage and absolute differential counts; platelet count; red cell count; white blood cell count; immature granulocytes.
-Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP): A:G ratio; albumin, serum; alkaline phosphatase, serum; ALT (SGPT); AST (SGOT); bilirubin, total; BUN; BUN:creatinine ratio; calcium, serum; carbon dioxide, total; chloride, serum; creatinine, serum; globulin, total; glucose, serum; potassium, serum; protein, total, serum; sodium, serum.

It depends on the lab testing it. Pretty sure this female hormone panel is done by LabCorp. Not a bad deal either and LabCorp's website will give you all their pricing as well as blood drawing facilities for you to have it drawn etc.
If I'm not mistaken, you may be able to search for a 10% off first labs drawn or some shit. My little lady is the world's coupon champion which always has me thinking in terms of saving every damn penny.

Hope that much helps ya though. I must have jinxed myself by talking about not being busy at work cause tonight has been crazy......

 

[csuperman]

yea you can find a coupon for 10 or 15% off and I am not sur if it will read over 1500 I normally do everything when that's not a concern of mine, and it does go through labcorp you pay them and they get the order for you and send your info to labcorp.

 

[HackTwat]

LabCorp is a good lab

 

[goodness]

Well my test levels were well over 3000 at 400mg a week. Of course you know this. We work together. That was with depot straight from the dr. Was saving up lol. Not sure about the new gear I got. But im feeling pretty good about now. Havent checked cbc and others yet. Giving it some time.

 

[HackTwat]

Yeah Brother. Still waitin on Philllips labs as well. Think he dropped off the face of the earth...oops...gym....lol

 

[1MoreRep]

Just a question, is this the same blood work I can get at our local Hospital? I can go whenever I want and pay $50 at our local Hospital and get my blood work done anytime. It shows your cholesterol and all that good stuff. I know some people pretty good in the lab their maybe they can give me what I need to know.

 

[goodness]

Yeah most of the time all hospitals will give you basic things like cholesterol levels ldl hdl trig ck psa exc... most of them have to send test levels out to reference labs though. But ask the hospital when there doing a health fair and they run specials. Multiple times a year.

 

[sosasghost]

I get levels checked every 6 months. My doctor knows everything I do and I even tell him when I change a compund. He studied up on things on his end and keeps an eye on all my bloodwork. My last vist went well. Im not a doctor and doent know what all is checked but he hasnt been concerned too much with what results hes seen. A little high choloestrol, I got meds for it, I stay on them a while then he takes me off to monitor the levels then too.

 

[goodness]

I just run the test to make sure my gear is 100% aside from the boat acne night sweats lol
