    I am not the best person to speak to bloodwork but I can give you some insight on your other concerns as a I am also living in Canada.

    If you aren't getting the bloodwork you want from your doctor you need to find another doctor. I have never had an issue requesting any type of bloodwork. I go into my appointment, give her a list of bloodwork I want done, and she writes the requisition, no questions asked.

    Is your TRT program done by your family physician or an endo? 80mg seems like it would be on a low end especially for a 60 year old male. Do you have the option to possibly work up the dose?

    thanks for thoughts windex,
    if I did ask my doc, I;m sure he would order them, but with SHBG, and my testosterone results, they would have said I dont meet the critira, and not run the test, so I paid for it, had them do this to me before.

    My new Family physician is watching the program, he is not comfortable prescribing T, so he did send me to an endo, went to a intro appt with him, questions and ball massage, says come back in 3 months, get this blood work done, go see him, reviews the BW with me, thens says I graduated...what?... ya your good with protocol, dont call me again... what a quack....the only good thing was he was ok with me self injecting, as my doc wasnt...
