Blood labs to get checked
ad
Since my regular Dr. gave me a low prescribed dose for TRT and after doing some checking on site changed the dose up a little. If I want to get labs done just for related issues to monitor for my knowledge is there a certain type of lab panel to get done. Seem like there is a Lab Corp every couple miles near where I live. Any info or suggestions appreciated.

AnonAnyone have a lab in NY state they deal with?
go with private labs. there is a coupon code floating around here somewhere that can help. i think its right around $50. get the female hormone panel to check all your levels. what did you change your TRT dose and what was the original dose?
Privatemdlabs.com
Female hormone panel
Ok I assume now I am a total newbie did not realize needed to go online and order test which I get the point now also thanks for discount code which worked fine. Thanks again for direction
Tried to get my Labs run via Lab Corp and they told me a Dr had to write the order. So I will try and find another lab. Do appreciate the guidance though. Still trying to learn
A doctor does write the order from privatemdlabs.com. You print a requisition from the doc after you place your order at privatemdlabs.com and take it to labcorp with you. Here is what the requisition looks like with the docs name on it when you order from there.
Got my labs back my estrogen was at 47 I have been doing some Aromasin eod do you think I would be better adding Nolva do that or up the Aromasin. Have both on hand. Thanks
47 is still within range for a male. It's borderline tho. I like to keep it between mid 20s to 30s if possible bc it leaves room for any fluctuations while remaining in normal range. You could switch your dosing up a bit. What is the dose you're taking EOD? If its 12.5, try 6.25 ED. That will provide better stability given the 27hr half life.
Honestly at 47 is not really high. If it were me I would not change the dosage nor would I add nolva. That could just be the time of day that you took the blood. Estro does tend to spike at night may want to move taking the aromasin to the evening before bed. Other than that I think you are fine. There may be others with a different opinion than mine.
Appreciate the guidance will change Aromasin to PM and get levels checked again in another 6 weeks or so. Lab info was very much appreciated. Got test results back in 2 days
Thanks I think I have it straight did not know I did request prior. I did yesterday and will get my labs done today thanks again
Appreciate the info any idea what average cost is about
it will be 50.99 with this code re45gg8x.
50 to 60 depending on if you have a discount code. You can find them online.
I went in there today, they're beginning to know me by name. Hahhaa
haha. they fuck with me about being too muscular. same thing with the damn lifeshare ppl.
Can you imagine the shit they see on the daily. I feel sorry for the chicks who have to stick people non stop.
i tried to give blood tonight at the lifeshare bus. they had to take my BP on my forearm. then she couldn't find the vein bc she said "there's too much muscle. guess it could be worse.
^^^^^yup
