I’d be curious to know that if that’s the case why we can’t be tested for that. I only am required to get my blood drawn within a week prior to a follow up appointment.

It is possible it is not covered by insurance-? You could request the test and pay. The point I was trying to make is that it would seem (ask your doc) that studies may have shown there is no need for testing hormone levels. Insurance coverage might also be an issue.
