Bloodwork: What to Check?

I know that many say you should get bloods done pre, mid, and post pct. What specifically should you get tested for each of these? I know Test (free and total), and Estradiol are a given. But what about RBC and Cholesterol? Other markers? Trying to keep costs under control but also want to do my due diligence.

Thanks for the help guys.

TT
FT or SHBG
E2
LH/FSH post PCT if recovery is poor
AST/ALT - liver

  • Sore muscles, DOMS, can increase AST/ALT. If you cannot have well recovered muscles, AST/ALT can be high.

CBC
hematocrit - cycles or TRT can make this too high in some guys

LH/FSH that is high from hCG or SERM can lead to high T–>E2 inside the testes and high serum E2 that cannot be managed with anastrozole. Most PCT practices involve hCG and SERM dosing that is way too high.

Thanks bro
