Need to do Testicular /Pit stim tests Well I am bummed now,.......

[Guest guest]

Hi you need:

E2 and E total levels, Prolactin, SGBG, Free T , TSH, RBC- Zinc , HS-CRP

etc

If Normal then need a Pituitary functional challenge test with Clomid

and testicular challenge with HCG.

Do Clomid test first.

Best,
