This is an example of what you'll get with labsmd female hormone panel Notice the LC/MS on the testosterone numbers.... thats what you want to see for mid cycle bloods to get a number above 1500
While on cycle you'll be looking at 3k to 4k

Not sure how old this is dude but your hematacrit levels are pretty high. If you haven't already done so I would suggest donating blood or having your Doc get you a referral for a hematacrotosis. They will pull 500 mil of your thick ass blood out.

I actually just met with my doc a couple days ago for a check up.
He laughed about some of the athletes he treats and how they would love to have my blood numbers.
He was not worried about them, was concerned more about my high creatine numbers and wants to do bloods when I'm not working out or taking creatine.

Lol so he gonna draw bloods after you die? How is he gonna get bloods when you are not working out. Haha

Don't sweat it man, I live 2 miles high and thats pretty normal up here. I still give blood every 8 weeks and the red cross girls see hemoglobin numbers over 18 all the time.

Red Cross denied me for rash from shaving so I had to get my doc to do the referral. I posted a pic of myself getting done. Lol

Depends what are you running? Is this a pre cye blood test or mid cycle are you having sides and wanna check things like estrogen prolactin?
Labsmd.com is your starting point regardless. Male hormone panel. Unless you are running tren then I suggest the female hormone panel. Answer my questions for advice on specific add ons.

female hormone panel is a little cheaper, and still works fine.

Agreed but may still need add ons for other issues. It also does not include cholesterol panel. Very important when running gear.

Okay what does that number mean?

Female panel reads above 1500. So I would choose that

Only in FLA or a few other states.
If you want to see what your on cycle testosterone level is make sure the test says it uses LC/MS to measure testosterone.

Easier just to use labsmd.com.....
all of there testing is LC/MS
