routine blood testing for HRT patients

[leonidas33]

am I leaving any tests out? how often should these be taken?

hrt program consists of 125-175mg testosterone/week... with 3-4 cycles a year of increased testosterone of 500mg/week for 12 weeks each...

Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Cholesterol (lipid) Profile
Fundamental Metabolic Panel
Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Testosterone, free and total
Thyroid Profile
LH (Luteinizing Hormone) Details
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Estradiol
Liver function

anyone?

No LDL and HDL? RBC? Platlet count? All important to T users.

Might as well get prolactin checked too.

RBC is included in blood count...
ldl and hdl is included in cholesterol (lipid) profile...

I was thinking prolactin is the only thing I am really missing...

thanks!
