99 pounds for a full testosterone panel. if you need to get someone to draw blood for you its an extra 25.
i would avoid the finger prick test and opt to get the blood IV.

turnaround was only 3 days if i recall.#

this one is arguably better for an extra £20....
offers prolactin (which could indicate a pituitary tumor if elevated which can cause low t), cholesterol, thyroid and CBC.

for some reason it is missing lh and fsh so you will have to decide which is better for yourself.
there is plenty of packages to choose from so have a look through them all

Thanks! Is this the correct test to use, so that following the results (being them all ok) would be a good indicator that I am in the green to start my first cycle?
Planning on ordering this week.

Also, which test would you recommend and why, for during /following the cycle?

All help is welcome, in the pursuit to understand all these variables more.

Just is probably just semantics, but please define what you mean by "cycle". This term is generally not used with TRT because with TRT you are always taking the drug and you will be for the rest of your life. This is not a medication you can easily switch on and off.

The term "cycle" is generally used with bodybuilders who abuse the drug(s) by taking high levels for a short period of time and then stop and go through post-cycle therapy (PCT) to restart endogenous T production. Since your endogenous T production is not working right to begin with, a PCT will not restart your system and at best, you will come back to where you are now. My guess though, is that with a damaged system, your recovery will be greatly extended and that will not be pleasant.
