Labs:
TT
FT
E2
LH/FSH
prolactin
CBC
hematocrit
fasting glucose
fasting cholesterol
A1C if quite overweight
TSH - these three if body temperatures are low
fT3
fT4
Check oral body temperatures:
- should be 97.7-97.8 when waking up in AM, 97.3 is a problem
- also check for 98.6 mid afternoon
Body temps indicate overall thyroid function which can be low from not using iodize salt and/or vitamins that list iodine+selenium
With TT=870, we will not get approval for TRT
