    Question What time of day for blood work?

    Trying to set up my test and E2 blood work for tomorrow through LabCorp, but am unsure of what time is best? I have heard T measures highest in the morning, so would that be the best time to have it tested? Or should I wait till later in the afternoon after I've been awake for a little?

    Not sure if there is a general consensus on what time of day to get a blood draw...

    I was always told to get my testosterone checked around 9-10 in the morning. It reads the highest in the morning, I believe.
    Nor sure about E2.

    Thank you guys. I want to ask something but dont want it to sound kinda silly.....but can low T and high E2 and estrogen lead to anemia, leukemia, other type of blood or bone diseases??? This in-particularity has me really frightened right now, because I keep getting random headaches, eye twitches, bone pain, etc. It could be maybe I'm just a little anxious and stressed because of this as well...

    Rest at ease; the answer is no.

    More like your last sentence...

    Relax.

    Low T would probably be an effect of those conditions.

    If you're getting blood work done, get your serum iron and ferritin checked... B12 as well.
