      Forgot to mention, you will also need to have the following items checked besides just Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone.

      LH, FSH, Thyroid, cholesterol, full Lipid + chem panel, Estradiol, GnRH, IGF-1, GhRH (Igfbp3 I think??), cortisol, Dhea, PSA (prostate check), and finaly liver + kidney values.
      You should also get a full physical (with the dreaded hand-operated prostate check) if you havent had one done in the last 12 mos.

      Once you get all the blood work done and get yourself a copy of it, LMK. I can refer you to a good HRT clinic if you'd like, and their prescription prices are pretty good.

      You are right, but it is not always that easy to gets docs to test you for all of this. Some do test you for what you ask for but others won't. If it is a urologist that is prescribing it, he may not do all of this blood work up but an endocrinologist might.
