🧪 How Often Should You Test Your Blood While on TRT?

When it comes to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), knowledge is power — and your blood test results are your roadmap. But how often should you get tested?

Let’s break it down.


📆 

TRT Blood Test Frequency Guide

🔹 

Before Starting TRT

  • ✅ Establish a full baseline: total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, hematocrit, PSA, liver enzymes, and lipid profile.

🔹 

6–8 Weeks After Starting or Adjusting TRT

  • 🔍 Re-check testosterone, estradiol (E2), and hematocrit.

  • Adjust dosage if needed.

🔹 

Every 3–6 Months (Ongoing Therapy)

  • Monitor hormone stability and screen for side effects.

  • Includes testosterone, estradiol, SHBG, liver function, and lipids.

🔹 

Annually

  • PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and a more comprehensive hormone review.


🧠 Why Testing Matters

Without regular monitoring, you risk:

  • Over- or under-dosing testosterone

  • Estrogen imbalances (E2 too high or too low)

  • Elevated hematocrit (blood thickening)

  • Untracked side effects or suboptimal results

Testing keeps your TRT protocol safe, personalized, and effective.
