T-Level Test

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding

Hey, these may be plain and simple questioins, but advice can never hurt. Mostly out of curiousity because I never have, I would like to get my T-levels tested.

  1. Can my normal physician do this?
  2. I just started a cycle of TRIBEX and do not want that to influence any results of the test…

Can I do it on one of my down days? Or should I be off it for a period of time before doing so?

Thanks

T

    Yes but he will most likely be an utter douchbag about it

It probably will.

The latter.

You can get your tests done on your own and pay for them yourself from places such as LEF.org that happens to have a blood work sale on now. If no insurance, this will be cheaper than from your doc.

That LEF.ORG site has some really useful information. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks, those are all helpful links. What does it cost to have done by a doctor? Yes I do have health insurance, but I don’t know what % it covers, especially when it comes to lab work…

Insurance may reject some BW without symptoms to justify it. If you are paying, it will be more costly with a doctor.

Most likely it will cover it all. Unless you get tested MULTIPLE times in a short period of time. Make sure you specify Total & Free Testosterone, and SHBG. Like most doctors he probably doesn’t give a rat’s ass about estradiol but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
