    I found KelKel recommends these test:

    Total Testosterone
    • Bioavailable Testosterone
    • Free Testosterone
    • Estradiol (specify “sensitive” assay for males)
    • LH
    • FSH
    • CBC
    • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
    • Lipid Profile
    • PSA (for those over 40 with family history of prostate CA. >45 all others)
    • IGF-1, IGFBP-3 (if GH therapy has been initiated already)

    You don't need to have your LH or FSH measured once you're on TRT. It's expected that those values will be significantly lower.

    personal labs .com has a nice website with easy to find tests that have a clear description of what you're ordering. I actually just ordered some labs a couple hours ago.

    I just went to personal labs and started adding stuff to my cart. WOW, it adds up quick if you do them individually. Is there a cheaper option that bundles them all together under one test?

    I'm not 100% sure, but if you click the "chat now" button (during business hours) you could ask one of the reps about a package that covers what you need.

    I ordered free/total testosterone and sensitive estradiol...it wasn't too bad cost wise after the discount.

    If I order a package from Private md labs and a specific test from personal labs while the clinic is a Labcorp at the same location for both, do they take double the blood samples or just the same amount for processing? I'm pretty naive as far as how it all works or if it's even allowed.

    Private md labs doesn't seem to offer IGFBP-3 for order, while personal labs doesn't have any decent packages so I'm not sure which path to take.

    Do you run compounds other than testosterone ? If so does this mess up your E2 result?
