vital signs to check for while on TRT. Am i missing anything??

[weavy88]

So I'm on 200mg/week of test e for trt. I plan on getting bloodwork once per quarter to make sure that everything is going smoothly and that I am staying healthy. Here is what I plan to test for so far:

-total test (duh)
-e2
-all the meta-bolic factors that come with the hormone panel for females (liver enzymes, glucose, hemocrit and RBC, etc...)
-lipid profile to include triglycerides, hdl and ldl
-I plan to add a therapeutic dose of deca around 200mg/week, so if that happens I will also test for prolactin.

Is there ANYTHING else you guys can think of that I should add to my bloodwork? thanks!

(p.s., why won't it let me spell meta-bolic as one word? lol)

regarding the regular and sensitive e2 assay, would you say that the regular tends to over or underestimate actual e2 levels in men?

Regular assay tends to be higher than it is on sensitive. If I remember right it's like 10-20pts higher.

So if 40 on regular than 20-30 on sensitive. I believe. Mega could elaborate on this in sure.
