Whats the meaning of this thread are you getting your BW done and want to know if you should add anything plz clarify?
I just want to know if there is anything else I should be getting tested (IF I forgot anything of course)? I am giving this list to my doc!Quote:

Also, depending on whether you live in Canada/America/Europe/Other, getting Testosterone tested isn't as simple as asking. It will either cost you quite a bit if your from America (multiple hundreds of dollars - correct me if I'm wrong guys), or if you live in Canada like me, getting Testosterone bloodwork is out of the question unless your a TRT Patient, elderly, or are currently on steroids and messed up your body.Quote:

you can get a full hormone panel online at privatemdlabs.com for 159. if you just wanna know your T and E2 you can take the female one for 60 bucks.Quote:

well im not gonna go into detail but no i havent, but with my profession many, many people i know on a personal level have used it many times. its easy, all you do is pay for your test, and then plug in your zip and it will tell you the closest labcorp to you. stop buy and donate blood, 72 hours later results are in your email.
be careful self administering TRT, make sure you know your shit. problems like cholesterol and hemo are almost always a side effect of TRT that needs to be monitored. good luck man.
If this statement was true, then you wouldn't be here asking your original question.Quote:

Did you know? 12 million men are in need of TRT and only 9% of those men are recieving it, great doctors.
