I want to establish a good baseline(or as close to baseline as I can get after 6 weeks in). They only tested four things for my initial visit.
LH = 5.8(1.7-8.6)
FSH = 6.3(1.5-12.4)
Total = 563(264-916)
Free = 10.1(8.7-25.1)
I know a lot of people recommend checking thyroid and I’m open to it if many people feel it’s really needed. Never had symptoms of thyroid issues before though. Always hard to gain or lose weight, can deal with heat with little to no issues and it takes a lot to make me sweat & can also tolerate cold more than most though I occasionally get cold feet and hands(assuming from circulation).
What else should I test? Estradiol I’m sure, maybe DHEA and pregnenelone. I wouldn’t mind looking into cortisol because I have had it flagged high on a test before, but that was a morning after a heavy leg day so I think that may have contributed. Anyway…what do feel needs to be tested to establish a good “close to baseline” measure and also look for other areas I could possibly improve.
