My first 6wk TRT lab follow up is next week. What to look for?

Aside from the typical expected labs during this follow up, are there any I should potentially request to have ran?

I do tend to feel more tired towards the end of my weekly cycle. I’d like to talk to him about injecting 2x weekly once we dial in a dosage. Or would 2x weekly injections affect dosage? I’ve also never had a SHBG level ran. Is that necessary at this point?

My last TSH was 2.199 (0.35-4.94) in March 2025.

-CBC
-BMP
-Free-T
-Total-T
-E2

Any suggestions?

I would run the tests you suggest and shbg along with a full panel to see how everything else is reacting to the hormone changes.
2x per week would most likely help with your issue.
6 weeks IMO is a bit early to look at labs as your body has not fully adjusted yet.
