Going to get Test and Estrogen tests done

[lowtee]

I've never gotten my hormones levels checked. I'm 40 and feel its time to do so as I plan on starting trt in the near future. Always thought my estrogen levels were high. Would these be the only two tests I need to check test and estrogen levels? Any other tests anyone would recommend for a male my age? Thank you in advance guys.

I want to emphasize the importance of testing your estradiol (e2) with the appropriate test for men: the so-called sensitive test that utilizes LC, MS/MS methodology. The link that Feeling Lost provided gives you solid options.
