A member asked:

Having blood work done, will it show if a birth control is causing too high of levels of hormones and testosterone?

Maybe (not) . . .: Blood work will only show hormones if requested by ordering doc. If we don't order specific test, it won't get done. It also helps if you explain your concerns so that we know what to order or look for. Insulin is a hormone. So is thyroid. Not sure why you separately named Testosterone which is also a hormone. You might be better served w/Virtual Consult or just ask talk w/your Family Doc or GYN.
