Private MD Labs, Mid Cycle blood test question

[ClarkFit]

What do I need to be focusing on when selecting my bloods. I know to get the female hormonal panel. But what else? Male hormonal? Or testosterone test?

Female panel is what I got for a baseline.

I'd add thyroid and prolactin if anything. Other than that, you should be good to go. Unless you're on a 19-nor; in which case, I'd use their sister company, labsmd.com.

You don't think I need to get a test specifically for test? It will just show in greater than 1500

If you want an actual number, you have to pick the sensitive assay. I think they call it testosterone for hypogonadal males lc/ms-ms. It's like an extra 40 bucks or so. I just use Labsmd.com instead when I want an actual number, as that's included.

Read the FAQs link in my signature. It covers blood work pretty extensively.

When I get my Estradiol , checked I ask for the Sensitive assay. Some may do a conversion but for me I just like it told as what I WANT to KNOW? Then FOR ME there is no confusion and the money even for me isn't that great a difference FOR ME to get a female lab test.

Just me, but isn't it easier...Question?
