Short answer
Your first follow-up labs are due about 10 weeks after you start treatment. Once you’re stable, labs move to every 6–12 months.
Your first follow-up labs are due about 10 weeks after you start treatment with us. This applies to every member.
We count those 10 weeks from when your first prescription is sent, so the time it takes for your first order to be processed and delivered (usually 7–10 business days) is included. You'll get an email with your lab order when it's due.
What's tested
- Total testosterone
- Free testosterone
- CBC (hematocrit and hemoglobin)
- Estradiol (E2)
- PSA
You pay for follow-up labs when you place your lab order, and you'll see the price before you pay.
If you were on TRT before joining us
You still need these labs at 10 weeks. Labs from a previous provider can't replace them, however recent. Your medication, dose schedule and injection method often change when you switch to us, and these labs confirm your treatment is working and safe on our protocol.
Once you're stable
When your labs and symptoms are both in a healthy range, your labs move to every 6–12 months. A licensed provider will let you know when your next labs are due.
