    What labs do you use?

    Just wondering what labs everyone uses to get the blood work from. I'm not going thru my doctor so there is that.

    Any suggestions would be great.

    I went through my doctor. I was honest with him and he did the blood work for me and kept it confidential, as he his supposed to.
    But around here we have Quest Diagnostics you can pay for.

    Privatemdlabs. There's also discountedlabs, I believe. Shop around and always look for a discount code. There is usually a 10% off code floating around online if you look for it.

    ^^^ There you go. The Couchman had done your legwork! I'd go with discounted labs.

    I have used both of these and i prefer privatemdlabs, just feels good to save money on personal lab work.
    Discountedlabs and a few others out there i have found are quite pricey and if you bundle a bunch of tests together you're breaking the bank every few months...

    Depends on what information you need. If it's TRT related, you'll want to go more in depth and maybe consider the male hormone panel.

    If it's cycle related, you may only want Total T, freeT, sensitive E2, CBC and CMP.

    Total rookie question what is the different between it being TRT related or Cycle related?

    You'll want to dig a little deeper when it comes to TRT. First find the cause of low T, then address it.

    Here's a link to a really good reference regarding TRT.

    If you’re on cycle make sure you get the right testosterone test. I forgot to do that before and had one come back before that just said “>1500”.
