    18 year old private blood questions UK

    Hi guys. To all UK members out there. How do you get your hormone panels done? I tried to get one done through nhs and they were very reluctant to do it and refused me lh, fsh and e2... and I highly doubt they will allow me to test again. I believe I may be at the start of low test so I would like to monitor my progress. It's around £140 for a hormone panel private... this seems a tad expensive. For anyone who is interested or wants to comment here is my blood work:

    To my ken, it's your electrolytes that stand out the most.

    That's excellent Marcus I really appreciate It. Am I expected to be paying around the £100 Mark on average?
