有人经常做血液检查吗？

[Pepdoggydog]

大家好。潜水很久了，今天第一次发帖。

我想问问大家有没有开始在家做每月一次的血液检测，以及是否注意到任何可测量的变化。

我之前一直从经销商那里高价购买Reta，现在想直接从灰色市场购买。

我一个月前开始服用Reta，想看看它是否会对我的血液指标产生影响。

我刚刚收到会员的第一份检测结果，这让我想知道是否有人也做过类似的检测，是否看到了变化，以及大家对这种居家检测和去实验室抽血相比有什么看法。

谢谢大家的讨论。

我十周前开始的，大概三周前在我的家庭医生那里做了常规血液检查，一切正常。我会坚持每年去医生那里做一次检查。

是的。每三个月做一次激素水平检查、血常规/血细胞比容和胰岛素样生长因子-1（IGF-1）检查，每年还会做一次家庭医生推荐的常规综合检查，以及重金属检测。我偶尔也会测血糖，虽然我的血糖一直都没什么问题。

我用了Hone和Siphox，不打算再做毛细血管抽血了。不同平台的检测结果没有可比性

。明天我会去Labcorp做静脉抽血，以后都会这么做。我本来希望在家就能稳定地每月追踪血糖，但事与愿违。

我抽血是为了调整我的睾酮替代疗法剂量，因为我的家庭医生不听我的，即使我告诉他们每两周抽一次血会让我感觉很糟糕。所以我自己调整剂量。

Why are the levels different with capillary vs vein?

Ever used ulta labs for standard lab work? I’ve done that and it’s a

Can save some $$

I was just hoping the convenience and pricing from these at home services would get me testing with better frequency.

But if the levels don’t match up the draw to using this isn’t there

Thanks for sharing your experience

I get my blood drawn, but it's more for my trt I adjust on my own as my PCP won't listen when I tell them doing it bi weekly makes me feel terrible

I’m a trt user as well and had several battles over the years. I finally switched to compounded cream and it’s been a huge help for me

Better yet, after seeing my levels improve over the years my primary care doc finally came around and is writing my refills

Being healthy is a battle and we definitely have to advocate for ourselves. Between trt and getting into peptides I thought more frequent testing would be helpful

Doctors are being pushed to see too many people and as humans they can’t understand everything.

It reminds me of what I’m doing to find a supplier. Lots of reading, lots of questions, and finding good people that understand where I’m coming from and willing to help

Thanks for your response

Sounds like an online provider could be the way to go.

I go about monthly. Fitomics makes sense at this frequency. Caution against over reacting or over reliance on any given result.

I get it every 3 months with my VA doc. Mostly because I had horrible blood markers before, and we (myself and the small clinic staff) are entertained by the changes happening. Within 3 months, everything was in the normal ranges except HDL and vitamin D (I hate sunlight). Oh no! Not having to eat more guacamole and take a once a week pill! Have another round at the start of the month. I also have a glucose finger sticker because there's rumors that some Reta side effects are due to blood sugar crashes. When I experience them, I prick. So far, no correlation I can see. After the next round of tests, I might post the before and after to entertain ya'll as well if you're interested.

They cost too much. I have UGL test cyp, plus what my doc prescribes. Plenty of product, just annoying the PCP won't listen to my concerns.

I was thinking of testing three months in a row to get a solid base and see any initial change then going to every 3-4 months

It’s probably overkill but if it sets my mind at ease and/or I see positive change it’s worth it to me

Under $100/month before filing on insurance is worth it for me to avoid a mouth breathing pcp.

Not to bad, which one did you go with?

TRTNation or PeterMd. Peter has an annual option that gets it down to $79/month and they’ll file with insurance.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Appreciate the insight!

Yep bloods all good personally - was expecting low iron but nope. Results were better than previous years when I was morbidly obese / around decade ago when I was suffering with ED (was very skinny)

However ECG / 24 hour screening revealed tachycardia

I get my blood done quarterly, mostly to track AAS and HGH. Was on TRT but experimenting with other compounds. Using the money saved from UGL for bloodwork and still coming out ahead. I was going thru my doc for bloodwork but they never order what I want even if I give them a list. Goodlabs cost me roughly the same after insurance, but a lot more markers tested.

 

[JA$$E]

Plan on getting a baseline blood test, then every 3-4 months especially if I stack on other peptides

 

[swimmer]

I get labs done every month. My PCP is useless so I go to ULTA lab or discounted labs (who ever has the best promotions) I get hormones cbc liver, kidney, IGF-1. I play with enclomiphene and some of the hgh secretologes and lots of different peptides. They cost anywhere from $120 to $240 per month.
