    Should I get free test done with blood work?

    To test lh, fsh, and total test is offered a package deal. I noticed that to get free test is to be added extra. How important is free test when you already monitor total test?

    Is there a private lab that offers the lh, fsh, total test and free test for more reasonable rate than $130?

    Get the free test level checked as well as the other tests you mentioned.

    Free test is more important than total test.

    You can have high/normal total test and still low test symptoms due to low free test.

    Free test is what u can use, total is what u have, if u got higher end of total and low free test is like u got 2 million dollars in the bank but u can with draw very little that can't even cover ur expense. Hopefully it make sense ?
