ugh i wish i didnt live in maryland. id love to just order a blood test for 60$ and drive to the clinic. in maryland its against state laws so i have to go through my doctor. im wondering if i use Privatemdlabs if i can fake my address then just drive across the border. i hope they wouldnt check for ID

I would drive across the border for blood work. Sometimes the lab will ask to see your ID to confirm your identity before drawing your blood. Tell them you forgot it and ask if you can confirm your birth date or something else.

since they email you the result, it doesnt matter if i fake the address correct?

Correct. Make it one you can remember though in case they ask you to confirm it.

Hey, why don't you try the Life Extension Foundation? For $54 and a $45 dollar yearly membership fee, you can get a Male Hormone panel which will show total and free T, PSA, dHEA-S and Estradiol.
I live in NY so I'm in the same boat as you. They will mail you a kit and you can get your blood drawn and mail it back to them. My friend is a nurse and he drew my blood

I've never been checked for ID or anything. I just give them the requisition number and g2g.

Hopefully the one I'm going to doesn't check ID. I'm going to tell them I don't have one at the moment because I lost it. I have credit cards, bank cards, insurance cards, etc with my name on it. I also know the address I put so I'm hoping that will be enough

So I just get a membership, order the test, goto a LabCorp near me to get my blood drawn?

Follow the advice given to you in this thread. I think it still applies.

Is there anything you can specifically tell me about the results? I've been trying to research stuff about my results but I can't pin down anything. Does this look like I have secondary hypergonadism? Is this something HCG will mess up more?

No, technically your TT is too high to be labeled hypogonadism.
As indicated in earlier advice, HCG/Clomid may prove helpful in getting your HPTA to work better. Definitely worth having the discussion with your doctor.

Ok i heard hcg can temporarily suppress LH, so I wasn't sure if it was something that wasn't a good idea since I didn't have these tests before when I got advice. My doctor gave me an endo referral but i'm scared that shes going to know i took steroids and my insurance/life insurance will be messed up forever so i'm not sure i want to go that route yet.
Would 500ui HCG every 3 days + clomid 50/50/25/25 nolva 20/20/10/10 be a good idea for a restart? I'd also like to throw in an AI during my Hcg to keep my estro from spiking. Would .5 arimidex EOD be a good idea?
I'm having such a hard time figuring out a protocol for myself

HCG does suppress LH.
This is not a good restart protocol. That's why you should get a doctor's help. Call IMT. Then it will not go in your medical records or on your insurance.

the phase one on their restart says HCG and AI though, and i see a lot of people say HCG for a couple weeks then clomid/nolva. is it because i already have LH above the minimum? just curious and confused because a few posts ago you said hcg/clomid might help me get started. then you said hcg isnt a good idea

The HCG is to help your testicles recover function.
