How many of us here actually get bloods done??

Like the title says: How many of us here actually get bloods done??

I'm wondering on how many members here in the community actually get bloods done,before,during and after a cycle...

There's numerous threads, and articles all over the panels in regards to the significance behind getting bloods done,the exact reasons, and factors.. I've even constructed many, and with most we see little feedback,some but little, and this left me questioning on if people use recklessly,frivolously or hopefully responsibly..Let's hear on who actually does a follow up with their their Endo's, physicians or taken it upon yourself to order online and hit your local lab-corps..

I ask this for a few reasons..

1) People spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars on gear/cycling/blasting&cruising or even TRT..whatever your protocol is..Yet many don't consider dumping an addition 50$ on some blood work,But they will dump it on supplements! It's only 50$ people and for SOME it's free..So, where do you stand,Quarterly,Annually?

2) For the obvious, this could ultimately pin point where you came from, where you at, and where you going, or potential issues ahead..

3) It's essential on seeing not only if your gear is legit but where your E2/E1 and Test/total and serum is at,but also seeing if/when your PCT has worked or not!

4) It provides and overall blueprint/map of where your at and what's currently going on!

Where do you stand,do you get bloods?

Below is some stickies that cover the vast spectrum of this topic, and stress the importance on why getting bloods provides a pivotal piece of information on where you are, and where your going and where you came from!

Before mandatory trt bloods, I used to do before starting and cycles.

I've been dragging my feet about getting it done. Got a physical set up for Monday and plan to either get them done then or schedule an appointment. What exactly do I say I want tested? Is it a special test or part of a regular physical. Kinda nervous about what they are going to think or say to me. But I plan to go through with it. I am about 6 weeks into cycle now. Test cyp at 375mgs every three days and equipoise 400mgs every three as well. With .25 adex every three days. Making steady gains in strength and gaining some size but my pumps are not what they used to be. Figured it was time to get tested and maybe donate some blood.

4 times per year...people don't understand that if your blood work isn't good your body won't metabolize the gear as well. I prefer to get the most out of what I take.

Let them learn the hard way, most of them find their way to these boards asking questions out of desperation because they finally get blood work and everything is all over the place...

If people fail to educate themselves it's not our moral obligation to beat it into their heads, guys like you and me are merely just the messengers providing suggestions...

It's a shame when you see people running ridiculous amounts of gear, not eating correctly and not getting bloods, watching them pissing away their hard earn money and most of all their valued time..

In Australia the best doctor is Don at Bloodworks. He is a complete professional and really knows his shit. Money well spent.
Email him and he will send you the info. He will call you to discuss your cyclce and what you should be tested for.
Fill in the form go to the clinic and have your blood taken. They send the tests to him and he calls you to discuss. Simples
Medicare doesn't get involved because you pay for the tests so it's very private.
