    That's not what he was asking. Are you getting bloodwork done because your considering a cycle in the future or because you have already taken steroids ? Also, how old are you ? Depending on the purpose of your bloodwork will depend on what you need to be tested for. 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.

    Igf-1 and SHBG, although with your free im sure SHBG will already be on there. low Igf-1 means you need GH optimization therapy (usually). wether you do real HGH or try the peptides first is up to you.

    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.

    Hey THE-DET-OAK have you used the service of privatemdlabs before? Just curious this was the one thing standing in my way of homebrewing for TRT purposes. I'm tired of getting overcharged by the clinics for everything.

    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.

    really why? everyone thinks that will just go to the doctor and they will know what to do, well trust me your wrong about that, half the time they dont have a clue when it comes to TRT. 9x out of 10 your local Gp wont even know to test for estrogen, let alone Igf-1 and free test. and if you score 301, good luck getting TRT with them.......................

    If you guys are gonna see a Dr about TRT I highly recommend you see someone that specializes, or primarily works with guys in the field. trust me those are few and far between.

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