What further tests to get after a 152ng/dl Total T

[jetpilotCK]

What tests should I get done to see if its hypogonadism type 1, 2 or another issue. Im 36yo.
I have a congenital issue in which I was born with 1 kidney (so I am guessing only 1 adrenal) but not had an issue

Total T again to make sure
Free T ?
E2
LH
FSH ?
Prolactin
Progesterone?
SHBG (maybe later once I am on trt to fine tune it?)
DHEA ?
Cortisol
TSH
T3/T4?

Testing is really expensive here (about ~$30 per marker) so I would rather do some and then if needed others.

thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input Cylon357

I have never had mayor libido or muscle building issues, I lean towards endomorph.

I tested 3 months after my first cycle (11 weeks) of 350 TProp (throughout), 200 Mast (first 8 weeks), 175 inj Winny (final 6 weeks) and 280 NPP (final 4 weeks).

I got tested (RBC, FreeT, E2, PSA, lipids, kidney, Liver) midway and everything looked good. Sadly I did not get tested before to get a baseline.

Did PCT 4 weeks including HCG (2000iu x2) while esters cleared and then Clomid 75/50/50/50 & Tamox 40/20/20/20

Have been eating well (whole foods at a slight deficit but minor) and lifting, except for a short holiday end of Dec.

My libido was crazy on cycle and now its much lower (back to normal I would say).

I want to start an injection protocol if its the only way but first Id like to understand the issue as once I start it's gonna be hard to stop just to let my body come back up again and get testing done. I think now is the time to find the root cause and then either do Injections or Clomid.

Some theories:
Tamox was pharma but Clomid was UGL, could it have been bunk?
Maybe one of the products was actually a long ester (everything was UGL except for Winny was veterinary pharma) and so I could have done Post Cycle while still suppressed?

Got my results back from a draw this morning:
Total T 264ng/dl
LH 0.71 mUI/ml (range 2-12)

So it seems its Secondary Hypogonadism.

Will run another PCT and see if LH/T comes up

Personally would get everything on there except TSH/T3/T4 and cortisol (unless you're curious given the single kidney but should be fine). Maybe skip DHEA. There are potential ways to help with each and knowing the numbers can explain a lot.
