I had to get all of these labs before surgery, and the following are normal. I asked my doctor to add in testosterone and he acted weird about it but then did it… so that came back normal too - right in the midpoint of the range. Here’s everything else I had which was all in range…if you want #s, let me know - but I figured it didn’t really matter since they were ok. I didn’t want to type out every last number since it’s all normal and some are irrelevant.

What is next? I would like to go to the lab Monday & my doc can write an order on Sunday (he works weekends). He sort of thinks I’m a hypochondraic / psych case with this “propecia made me lose my sex drive” thing but I think he’ll order more. I think I need FSH, LH, and some others… I didn’t understand the genetic thing in the sticky & I doubt my doc will order that. He’ll do FSH / LH though. It’ll be nice to write “dx: impotence” and hand that to the lab tech… maybe he can write something else but that’s probably the best way for insurance to cover it. My insurance is weird about routine screening - you only get 1 CBC / Comprehensive a year unless you have a disorder written on the lab order.
Thanks
