Call him!Bit of an inconvenience and I don't want my doctor to think I'm undermining him. So I'm not sure if I'll call him, bt I'd really like to see the results of the above.
Call him!
Get them added ASAP. Pretty useless without them. I know my T level is 17 but I don't know the rest so can't start a course to get it increased. I have to go back and request a whole new set of bloodwork with all the required checks before I can start actioning it.
Do it now, do it once, do it right.
Cheers,
Mike

And cortisol maybe the only other ones at this stage to look at, but he may investigate further depending on your results.
Some gp's wouldn't even of bothered with what he has done..
The amount of times I complained of prostate pain to different gp's ( I even got fingered twice) and was told that pain was normal is mind boggling.( it was oestrogen irritating it) So at least he is doing something.

I left a message earlier and my doctor just called me back now.
He was more than happy to request every single test I asked for and explained the basics of each test an hormone.
What a champion! I was actually a bit worried about it, but he couldn't have been more comforting and supportive.
He said he didn't really understand why the IGF-1 was in there, but would request it anyway for me. Told me to ring back Monday for results.
