What Bloodwork Should You Get Before and After a SARM Cycle? Pre-Cycle Bloodwork (Baseline): Don't skip this! You need a full panel to know your "normal" before SARMs mess with your system. Here's what you should get: • Total Testosterone • Free Testosterone • LH/FSH (to check for suppression) • Estradiol (E2) (important if you’re using aromatizing compounds) • Lipid Panel (SARMs can trash your HDL) • Liver Enzymes (ALT, AST) (some oral SARMs can stress your liver) • Kidney Function (Creatinine, BUN, eGFR) (especially if stacking) • Complete Blood Count (CBC) • Prolactin (optional, but useful for certain stacks) Post-Cycle Bloodwork (About 4 Weeks After): Get the same tests to assess: • Suppression Levels (Test, LH/FSH) • Lipid and Liver Health • Recovery Status (Are you bouncing back or do you need a real PCT?) Some folks do mid-cycle bloods (~week 4) to catch issues early (like shutdown or low HDL), but that’s optional if you're on a budget. Stay informed and safe!
