The clinic tested my Total T separately and it returned 223. My initial labs:

After 1 month on TRT:

*This bloodwork was drawn ~4 days after a vasectomy (in case that is relevant)


I have been gaining a lot of insight on this forum and have been in contact with Defy because of some concerns I have with my current clinic. They stated that they could use my latest labs, but would also like to see:
- CMP-14
- Lipid Panel
- TSH
- DHEA-S

Another thread I am on suggested that I have a Thyroid panel done as well...is there a specific name of that panel that I should ask for? Does anyone recommend that I have any additional panels drawn on top of those? Thanks.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
