what tests should i choose?

 

[JBRIII]

I would check the following:

Liver Enzymes - Included in CMP (Complete Medical Profile)
Tesotsterone Level
Free Testosterone Level
Estradiol Level

Just as a base, but don't know what your concerns/goals of testing are.

What does the bloodwork cost? Do they ask you a bunch of questions about why you want the bloddwork done?
