+ 1 How to order labs in NY, NJ, RI, and AZ
I recently posted and have been talking to someone who has been a phenomenal person who pretty much stopped me from doing something stupid, he even found a site that had nice pricing and showed me the tests I would need. I was extremely happy because I’m struggling finding one, and when I find one - which tests to order.
Unfortunately, I live in one of those states that the website does not service. I’ve ran into this issue on a few sites.
I’m hoping someone can help me out with a site that I can order scripts for bloods, that is (hopefully) not extremely overpriced. The only site I have found so far is https://www.ondemand.labcorp.com/products?category_id=20 and I’m not sure which tests I’d need, and it also seems to be a good bit higher priced than the other sites.
Hoping someone from one of the areas I listed (if you PM me I can give you the exact state, but don’t want to post that publicly) could point me in a better direction, so I can get my own bloods once I find my TRT level and find that spot, and my doctor won’t be sending me for bloods as much.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Yeah I know your pain. There's only 1 wellness center that's around me that I have found that will do blood work for 400 which is pretty expensive for.bloodwork. I don't think you can find any website that will do it for you because it's illegal in those few states that you listed.
Wow…that’s ridiculous. The site I linked seems to work for my state (at least I added the $200 men’s test and it allowed me to get all the way to payment, with my address on there). I just don’t know WHICH tests I’d need on that link.
Also if it’s cheaper, I may just go on a 2-3 hr road trip to another state and get the tests done there, depending on pricing.
My real problem is knowing which tests I need, and when. I don’t want to spend extra money testing things that don’t need to be tested at that time or at all. $400 is a nice chunk of change.
Please - it’d be greatly appreciated if anyone can help out. I’d like to do this the right way. I was damn near ready to just start blasting away, until having a nice long talk with a random member on the forum, who single handedly really explained why that’s a horrible idea, and gave me an awesome way to start. I’m impatient, so I wanted to go right away. I gotta remember that I’m also on TRT, and need to find my “base levels” for cruising when off cycle, and remind myself this isn’t a race, it’s my physical health and I could do a lot of damage if not done the best without blood work, and still explained to me even just on my trt dose, I’ll have an advantage as my testosterone won’t be fluctuating and at a constant level. I figure I can give it a few months to find my baseline, get my gym down, try my best with a nutrition plan, and once that time comes, start slowly with just boosting test. See how that goes, then maybe add one thing at a time, if I continue to cycle.
Either way, I need to find a way to get blood work done on my own for when I get to the time my urologist only tests 1-2x a year.
You want to get your basic health markers, and then you want to get the estrogen, testosterone and free testosterone. and if you want you can get the hgh and igf1 but people usually only do that to get baseline reading or that take hgh.
I think I found a work around. I can PM you what I plan on doing, and it’s significantly lower cost than $400.
