Blood tests/private md labs

[ozzyozzy21]

Ok so I've had 2 previous blood test. Both times I've done the female hormone panel for 59.99 before discount. Now they are showing a testosterone serum test for 44.49. There was an older thread "get bloodwork done cheap" that explained the reason we were choosing female hormone panel is bc it was cheaper. It appears we have an alternative. I know the hormone panel for females includes estradiol, hemocrit and other things. At the same time, ive seen some bros on here post true total teatosterone numbers and id like that. Should I still get the hormone panel for females or what? Advice?

Yeah for like 50 bucks you get LH, FSH, test (although serum and caps at >1500) and estradiol. Even though not as important to us as the others but CBC and CMP can't hurt seeing either. I always order that with a lipid profile to see how I am as a whole. If you want to see exactly where your test is at you will have to get the Testosterone test that have LC/MS-MS in the name because I think those test are a little bit more thorough and require a bit extra work, and they are a bit more expensive.

Sucks because the difference between like 1501 ng/dL and 6000 ng/dL is pretty substantial lol, ah well, such is life

I ordered the female panel and the lc ms/ms because My results this cycle are a little slow so far. Will post results
