Getting bloodwork done.....questions

[JoNeS]

Never got my blood work done yet. So I know nothing about it / why people do it. Can someone explain to me why you get it done? I know it has something to do with your natural test levels reaching normal or something. (I could be way off, I am a newb to the game, still in the middle of first cycle)

So if I go to the doc what am supposed to ask? "I'm interested in getting my blood tested" ? What if he asks why?

Then what am I supposed to look for?

Basically someone please teach me all about bloodwork cuz I pretty much know shit about it. Thanks

The answer is, it depends. My doctor checks my lipid profile, thyroid panel and does Total and free Test levels. Occasionally she'll check for gonadatropin releasing hormone as well as my PSA levels.

youi could tell the doc you always feel tired and have no sex drive and have not have blood work done in awhile i dont see any reason why the would not do blood work and if he or she does not want to do blood work than find a doc that will there is all sorts of things that could be checked i had blood work done about a year ago because it was a long time since and doc had no problem doing it.i am not sure exactly what was check there were a lot of things on the test it was a fasting blood test this was done before i found elite fitness and edjucated myself so i am going to go back to make sure i get my test levels estrogen and whatever else i can get tested remember its your body and if the doc does not wnat to help ya they aint no good ya know iam sure you will get more info from some of the vets on this board i hope this helps

i just got my results, they took 8 test tubes of blood from me. dont eat 12 hrs before you get tested...if you tell him you are juicing or thinking of juicing they will know exactly what to test for
