Hormone tests for menopause are notoriously unreliable.

I think, normally, because people don't time them with their cycle. But here I did and I know the cycle was correct because of when my periods came.

But if you're skipping periods, how can you know the timing of the test was correct?

I skipped for a few months earlier in the year but now they have evened out. Both tests were taken with TOMs and accurate cycle timing.

All doctors are like this. But my primary care is more willing to order tests. I will see her in November. I really like my primary care. I hope I never lose her.

Not all doctors are like this. I fire mine frequently if they keep me waiting to long or refuse to listen to me or won't do test that I want. It's hard to find a good doctor but the search is worth it. Hopefully your GP will listen to you and do what you want. Good luck
