Bloodwork - is this enough?

[aj2019]

I want to get bloodwork done prior to any cycle and I can get a test that checks the following:

Total Testosterone
Free Testosterone
Oestradiol
SHBG
PSA
LH
FSH
Prolactin
Albumin
TSH
Free T4
Full Blood Count including Haemoglobin & Haematocrit
Lipids including Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides

Is this everything I need to know from my blood before, during and after a cycle? They have a cheaper option that just tests for Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, SHBG and Albumin, but I guess this is not enough?

Thanks,

Thats just about it. I get a full metabolic panel which includes liver enzymes, etc but thats pretty damn good there.

I usually do this one:

They will have coupons up to 35% off so I get that one sometimes for under $150. Only thing missing is LH, FSH, and free test although you can add those.

the female hormone panel from PMD covers the essentials

if you want uncapped it costs more of course.
