Ultrasensitive Estradiol test -* shipping blood from abroad?

Hello. I am 29, male, from Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) and we do not have a lab that does the ultrasensitive estradiol test. Does anyone here know a lab that accepts blood from abroad, shipped in the correct way- refrigerated/frozen etc...?

I will start HRT because I have been chronically ill for the past 5 years. Is it possible to successfully do HRT without ever running the ultrasensitive estradiol test and, instead, just going by symptoms and how I feel and, of course, all the rest of the tests..? Maybe I can just take a prophylactic 0.5 mg of anastrozole per week once I start taking hormones and drugs that optimise my anabolic hormones? I will test my hormones in a few days.
 
There's no way to send your blood to the US for labs. I definitely would still do TRT and just go by your symptoms for estradiol.

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.
