Blood tests - Thyroid ?

just4peas · 10-24-2005, 10:03 AM

Hello,

My periods are all screwed up, bleeding several days a month lately. So the doctor sent me for tests...these:

lipid profile (for cholesterol check - my first and my Mom's is so high)
glucose serum
FSH
LH Lutenizing Hormone
Prolactin
TSH
Insulin Levels

He said my cervix looks like I am on estrogen birth control pills. Which I am not. He even ran a pregnancy test - negative...whew!

I feel absolutely fantastic. Never tired, blew through my weight loss without an ounce of trouble. Etc. So it looks like he is looking at thyroid issues, diabetes, hormones in general.

I had blood taken today, fasting. How long before you think I can call and find out any numbers? I don't go back to see him for a month.

Thanks in advance.
