Before my next cycle i am going to get some blood work done, do i tell them what i want checked out or does it check everything like liver, kidneys, thyroid, test levels or levels of estrogen in the body. I have never had a blood test to check such things thought it cant hurt only help if somethings wrong. I also was wondering how they check to see if you have higher estrogen levels i think i might will the blood test show this. Thanks for any help or any additional info you guys can give Big    | ||

Full chem panel (COMP METABOLIC PNL) Lipid Panel and CBC/DIFFERENTIAL. I explicitly asked for Test and Estradiol as well (you may want to throw in a request for "free" test). Bchemist would be a good resource for you but I doubt you'll see him here these days. Later, | ||

You can tell them specific things you want checked or are concerned about or just ask for a complete screening.A complete check shows everything from test,thyroid,estrogen,creatinine levels,etc.A normal check for test. replacement therapy would show things like free,total, and serum testosterone levels as well as PSA(dealing w/prostrate if you didnt know).Different docs and HMO's deal with test requests differently but if youre footing the bill you can get about any test ya want.  | ||

My bloodwork for just the test and PSA stuff runs $90.My co-worker had the full screening at same place and he said it was $350.With our HMO at our employer we pay just $10 for the office visit so thats not bad.My prescription co-pay is just $10 also for 10ml(Test. Cyp.) [This message has been edited by therock (edited March 01, 2001).] |
