google: Life Extension hormone panels female (or male). What you want is hormone tests especially for the ovaries, thyroid, and pituitary. If you want I can check with my husband for the pituitary hormones. Most doctors will balk at taking the pituitary hormones because they think they/doctors are the right hand of God and know everything. My husband goes to the pituitary clinic at Strong Hospital, Rochester NY. He see's an endocrinologist and neurologist on the same appointment and he likes them a lot. Make sure if you are female and still having a cycle that the female hormone tests are on day 17 - 21 of your cycle. This means day 1 starts as the first day of the menses. I live in Buffalo, NY. If you want I can give you a phone number to call me.

I want to add that you can do baseline blood and saliva tests yourself for the pituitary testing for growth hormone hormone, testosterone, etc. However at the Strong hospital my husband twice went to the outpatient clinic there where they hooked him up to an IV and injected a solution, then periodically throughout the day drew blood. So one cannot do all of the blood testing yourself. Do you have a fax number if I find further information on testing? Also Strong/pituitary clinic requires a referral from another doctor.
