Blood Testing, estradiol?? Progesterone??

[ClarkFit]

If I select these two options will I be covering the estrogen and E2 like suggested in the First Cycle sticky?

I think we need a new sticky topic. Which blood tests for what purposes. For instance, the female hormone panel covers most of what you need, but if you want total test above 1500, you need a different test. And if taking certain substances, you need a different test to get accurate estradiol readings. I always have to ask too. Who wants to write it?

just order the female hormone panel from labsmd.com

Not sure why you think you need the progesterone panel, that's generally for folks with a uterus.

I don't know.... Hence the fucking question.

Good point, this should be looked into further.

Well, that would be an interesting direction to go in but its best to get the latest skinny, I say since everything is advancing so fast these days.
