First Bloods! Which test should I get?
I have done plenty of research into this subject but can't seem to come to a definitive answer. I am going to use privatemdlabs. Seems some people say to get female hormone panel. So when I got to there site to select that test the one that is the closest to that is called
Hormone Panel unisex : It includes
-Lipid Panel
-Complete Blood Count (CBC) w/ Differential
-Estradiol
-Insulin Growth Factor (IGF-1)
-Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP) (includes eGFR)
-Testosterone, Free (Direct) With Total Testosterone, LC/MS-MS
-Thyroid Profile
and cost $148.49
There is also one called:
Advanced Female Hormone Panel it cost $162.99 and includes the following:
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Sulfate
Estradiol
Estrogens (Total), Serum
Estrone
Testosterone (Free), Serum with Total Testosterone
Progesterone
Seems to me the first would be a better test, but then I don't really know what I am talking about...:)
So which is it? which test do all you veterans recommend I get pre-cycle, on cycle, and post cycle? same test for all or is there different test for certain time of your cycle? Thanks in advance

If it were me, I'd go with the labsmd.com hormone panel for females. It costs about $20 more than the same test from privatemdlabs. The results are a little more accurate than the test method for privatemd, and you can just keep using the same lab for your tests mid cycle and get a real number >1500.
AnonHormone panel for females.

It's cost effective and for a simple pre
Cycle panel it covers the basics.
you got it Carlos.. ;-)
