I live in upstate New York how do I get a full hormone blood panel test ….

Before the sensitive estradiol test was available in Canada I initially drove over the border to Buffalo and had blood drawn via Discountedlabs. It worked until someone at LabCorp caught the address of the ordering physician. Then I drove a bit further to Erie, PA. Later, flying for business, I had the labs run in many US cities.

You can walk in confidently and see if you can obtain the tests in New York; all they will do is say no if they happen to be paying attention. You can take a day and drive out of state. You can visit a walk-in clinic and ask for the order.

Why won’t your pcp write the order?
 
So I called life extension and they will mail me the kit but wth a Pennsylvania requisition postal area code and they said I should be fine to walk into a lab core in Scranton or Clark’s Summit . 2 hour drive .

Im doing self administered trt , he wouldn’t even hear me cause I was not completely below the low number , I came in at 460 but had all symptoms of low t , so now I’m on 135 mgs test e subq every Monday , Thrs and Saturday and feel great energy , gym motivation , and morning and middle of night wood plus have lost some weight while getting stronger .

We always mention to get a legit trt doc. Go to defy or Nelson Virgil or dr Nichols. Just hire a trt doc. Of course you are going to have issues using these sick care experts.

Glad you feel better. Now you need to find someone who can manage, order labs, and care for you. Sure Trt is easy, but that’s if nothing goes wrong. The moment something does you will realize why it’s so nice having an experienced provider on your side brother.

Do you have blood tests from before starting and when Low? If so yes. Send them to me new doc for history.
 
Yes I do have past bloods , PD only ran total test and free . Have an old thyroid test like 3 years ago too

461 total

12.6 free

3. 4 thyroid I believe , have to look up

And thanks to everyone else above as well , I’ll start looking into defy and contact Jessie when I do . Also I’ll contact discount labs to confirm they will do same as life Ext .
 
Check free t3 and etc. thyroid should be always checked if you are starting trt. Saves a ton of time. Or at least you can keep track of it as you progress and do therapy.
