I disagree with #3, just because you have a cycle does NOT mean you ovulate. I’ve worked with a fertility specialist and have not ovulated and had cycles. Now that I am normal and having ovulation, can definitely feel the difference

My testosterone is low and my FSH is high. I have all the symptoms of menopause. I want to start HRT.

And how many times after explaining this to patients over and over and over (and over) do they still look at you and say “Well, can we just go ahead and check them anyways?”🤯🤯 Because for me it’s every day!

Pop off queen! Usually when I explain this to my patients and let them know testing their hormones will likely do the opposite of what they think because they will likely be normal and that’s just gonna gaslight them.

McKenzie-Fertility Prenatal RD :
I think a big issue is that folks feel unwell, but don't know what to ask for, and treatment based on symptoms feels super abstract for a lot of people. I spend a lot of time in my sessions educating folks and helping them understand what targeted tests might be beneficial, and most of the time they aren't hormone tests at all!!

Yep!!! Hormone testing should be targeted and based on symptom presentation. 👏🏽

I still agree because testing hormones without specific symptoms causes unnecessary anxiety and provides misleading results, as hormone levels naturally fluctuate daily and regular menstrual cycles already indicate proper ovulation.

I completely agree with not unnecessarily testing hormones, but it’s important to appreciate there are other causes of losing your period other than menopause. Testing TSH and LH with loss of a period can confirm menopause, or give reason to investigate further. Outside of fertility and menopause, I see no reasons to test hormones. Also, if HRT doesn’t help menopause sx, I would get labs!

Natalie Crawford, the fertility doctor, makes a great point about the AMA. It’s not going to predict when you’re infertile. But if someone is considering freezing their eggs vs having kids vs etc, it’s great to help make decisions. You just need to explain what it means to patients. Ie if low, have kids or freeze asap. If normal, proceed w caution

I work in primary care and usually will do labs because other provider won’t, but I reiterate many times these fluctuate daily and often wont change my course of treatment.

Yes! And as an IVF girly, they change daily like you said. It’s not just ONE hormone test. It’s bloodwork 2-3 times per week lol. It’s not all sunshine and roses to have your hormones monitored!
