Bloodwork Questions (Time of Day; IGF-1)

Pharma TRT

I am planning to get the blood tests below, to understand my hormonal status and ~overall health (to some degree). 36-year old male.

Questions :

  1. How much does time of day matter for when I get tested?
    I know earlier in the morning should mean a higher reading for Testosterone; I assume earlier is better (all things being equal). Especially as I need to be fasting for the Lipid Panel.

  2. Worth getting IGF-1 tested as well? (For another $72.)
    Goal is to check GH production; would there be anything actionable here? Do levels fluctuate too much for this test to be useful?

  3. Anything else to consider?

Tests :

CBC (includes immune cells, red blood cells and hematocrit)
CMP-14 (Includes kidney and liver function, glucose and electrolytes)
Lipid Panel (LDL, HDL, Triglycerides)
Testosterone free and total (LC/MS assay with no upper limit)
Estradiol, Ultra Sensitive (LC/MS assay)
DHEA-sulfate (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate)
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Free T3 (Free Triiodothyronine )
PSA (Prostatic Specific Antigen)
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)

And likely Vitamin D, to see how well my supplementation works
