What is the standard bloodtest for HRT & Thyroid

[corndog]

Without trying to get my Dr. to order Janz very in depth blood work what is the standard or recommended re-check I should ask for.

I take

2g Armour
33mg test-e e3d
lisinopril - high bp
lamictal - bi-polar
welbutrin - depression
klonopin - sleep

I have high hemoglobin so I get this checked every 2 weeks. Here are a few I am guessing

test total
free test
estradiol
estrogen total
shgb
prolactin
cholesterol panel
triglycerides
lh - ?
fsh - ?
THYROID PANEL
TSH
t4 free
t3 free
lipid profile
liver
cbc

I am looking to get the main hormone panel done and then general overall health. Please add or remove as you see fit.

Ask Cpeil2
for help on checking and controlling high hemoglobin.

My guess, most of the tests that you are listing are missing the point, specially if you doing them every two weeks.
To what Cpeil2 will suggest
add:
-----------------------------------------
FreeT3
FreeT4(maybe)
Estradiol, Free, LC/MS/MS (36169X)
Testosterone, Free, Bio/Total (LC/MS/MS)
-----------------------------------------
keep
FreeT3 at the top
FreeE2 (0.45 - 0.6) use Liquidex, measure with insuline syringe with cut out needle (accuracy)
BioavailableT ~574, use E2D injection schedule, one day (T + liquidex), next day (380iu hcg)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and concentrate at Genova testing and eating recomended supplements. Retest Genova in 3-4 monts, implement tweaks that will come from second pass testing.

Any recomended supplements I suggest you buy at LEF, due to quality considerations.

If you are in UK those tests do not require prescription, just credit card.

============================================
I strongly suggest
NutriEval (saliva, urine, blood)
and
EstroEssence (first morning urine)
possibly also
Comprehensive detoxification Profile.

Also spend 2x $20 and study how to read and apply top two tests.

Good luck;

You possibly are not taking enough T,
give me your SHBG, I will estimate.

 

[corndog]

t total = 899
free t = 34.9
e2 = 66 (lowered it with l-dex) testing next week as part of bt
shgb = 22.8
prolactin = 6.76
albimum = 4.5
psa = .31
fsh = .21
tsh = 1.276
t4 free = .70
t4 total = 4.30
t3 total = 106

You should use around 145mg/week
that is

62.14mg/shot=145/7*3 when on E3D schedule
41.5mg/shot=145/7*2 when on E2d schedule
I preffer E2D schedule.
Final T dose adjustment is according to the BAT~575
on that test from Quest above.

Testosterone, Free, Bio/Total (LC/MS/MS)

exactly as written, all what is written is important.
Do not use doctor's/Quest forms to order this test,
ask him to write on the blue script paper.

Details of the test are here:

Do not spend money on useless or low value items (in red), get FreeT3 instead.
