Well I bit the bullet and spent the $600 for tests, LabCorp just about drained me dry and I had to wait about two weeks to get the results, but I think it was worth it. I am still searching for a doc and really wanted to get the results in before I pursued this too much. I am definately a newb when it comes to looking at this stuff and so I would appreciate an opinion or two.
For reference here is my first post with background info.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
DHEAs=269ug/dL(280-640) get DHEA or better pregnenolone cream 100mg/1gram, 1gram/day
Estradiol=32pg/mL(0-53) wrong test, get sensitive or ultra-sensitive, do not try to project, and act on current value.
Additionally get other estrogens tested, TotalE, BioAvailableE, FreeE, some available only from Quest.
CRP=6.44mg/L(0-3.0),
get other risk factors tested;
C-reactive protein CRP(got it)
Fibrinogen
Hematocrit (got it)
Hemoglobin A1C
Homocysteine, cardio (got it)
Lipoprotein (A) Lp(A)
RBC, MCH high, talk to cpeil2
FreeT3=3.2pg/mL(2.3-4.2) get about 2-2.5 grains of Armour thyroid, retest about a month after you reach max, goal FreeT3=4, watch body temp and pulse, if needed support adrenals with Cortef up to max 20mg/day
LH=5.3(1.5-9.3)
FSH=2.4(1.4-18.3)
TotalT=298(241-827)
Get SHBG and Albumin, or better yet the good test from Quest
Your testis are the limitation.
Get Depo-Testosterone and HCG Novarel
I started my (T+HCG) both SubQ around navel, E3D, I do 130mg/week dose but will test within month or two. If you cannot test soon enough, you may want to do 100mg/week, besides your testis produce little bit, mine are just decoration
I will give you 100mg/week quick start routine, based on what I found playing with RoidCalculator
Invalid Link Removed
Depo®-Testosterone---200 mg/mL
100mg/week=0.5mL/week
E3D dose = 0.5/7*3=0.214mL=0.214cc=21marks on insuline syringe, '=0.21/3*7*200=98
Assuming you are starting cold, TT=298, your dose=21marks on syringe
Day1-2.5normal dose=2.5*21=52.5 syringe marks testosterone, HCG 250iu
Day2-1 dose=21marks,
Day3---- no shots
Day4-start of normal routine, T=21, HCG=500iu
Day5-no shots
Day6-no shots
Day7- T=21, HCG=500iu
keep going,
when blood testing, do it on the day of the shots, before shots.
Today I did my first T shot using 29ga 1/2cc syringe, no newer mind proposition
but I think 3/10cc syringes will be even better.
I ordered needles that I think I will like most
3532041 Monoject Ultrafine U-100 Insulin Syringe 29 Gauge 3/10cc 1/2inch Needle 100/box $15.99

One could probably use 29ga also for HCG, but I have old box of 30ga so I am using it.
When blood testing I am using Quest hands down, T & E wise my goal is upper ranges of
Estradiol, Bioavailable (10-50) pg/mL
Estradiol, Free (0.3-0.9) pg/mL
Estradiol, Fractionated, serum (E1+E2+E3)
Estradiol, Ultra-sensitive (10-50) pg/mL (possibly a function of T level, if Bio-T is real high then more than 30 may be a good thing)
Estrogens, Total, Serum (130 or less) pg/mL
Estrone,serum <or=68 pg/mL
Testosterone, Free, Bio/Tot
Testosterone Total 250-1100 ng/dL
Testosterone Free 46.0-224.0 pg/mL
Testosterone Bioavailable 110.0-575.0 ng/dL
