    Living now in the Philippines - BLOOD WORKS

    Hi Guys,

    Im now here in the Philippines and need blood works but each test is individual and a fortune.

    Can you tell me if I am missing anything or can omit anything

    Test Total
    Test Free
    Sensitive E2 assay
    CBC
    CMP
    Lipid profile
    LH and FSH
    PSA

    Believe it or not this is over $1000

    I take test twice weekly with a little Tren

    Try a different clinic. I see advertised all the time blood work and pretty low prices. I cant imagine those would be that high. Maybe only because you are a foreigner? Ill be there next month and plan on getting some blood work done for the Mrs. Cholesterol work was cheap for her last month. Shop around. Many places have prices advertised.

    What's up with people posting one time and not coming back to check or respond?

    Nothing wrong buddy, we've chatted in the past. Just missed your replies.
    Did you get to the Philippines?

    There's absolutely no reason to test LH and FSH while on TRT. I see this mistake a lot in the forums. They are going to be zero, so why pay for the tests? Free T is much more important than Total T, so if you have to give up one, trash the Total T. I never use the lab for any decision making, just the Free T lab. CBC and CMP are good to monitor on occasion, if you have concerns about hemoglobin production or liver function. Same goes for PSA. I only do PSA once per year. It's never been a problem for me.
