Blood-work is a necessity in AAS use to truly know how your body is responding and reacting to the various chemicals and hormones we use on and off cycle.
Just because you ''feel okay'' does not mean your blood, hormone, and/or lipid levels are okay.
The point here is that there ARE anonymous, cheap, private labs that provide these types of services.
Don't short-change yourself.....especially on your health!!!
There are MANY private labs and/or web services to choose from. One I have used is PrivateMD Labs.
They have a female hormone panel test you can order, it's kind of a cheat around paying full price for a comprehensive male panel. The female hormone panel is $59. With a 15% discount code (which can be found on google) it drops to around $50.
I know what you're thinking.....but it includes:
However, you can add lipids or whatever else you want to get tested for $XX.xx amount more. They also offer comprehensive male panels (checks everything) as well as other anonymous testing.
When you pay for the lab form you check out as a male (even though it's a female panel) and the test references will be for males. Print the form and take it to the closest approved lab (LabCorp).
It really leaves no excuses because bloods should ALWAYS get done....it's CHEAP, ANONYMOUS, they don't ask for ID, you are in and out in 5 minutes (no appointment necessary), and you get the results e-mailed to you within 24-48 hours.
If you look....click on blood testing and scroll down to the Hormone Panel Testing for male and females.
Due to state billing laws, PrivateMD Labs cannot provide services in NY, NJ, MA, MD or RI.
