My partial bloodwork results I know the biggies are the testosterone and IR test, but what do you all make of this???? My amazing nurse/midwife emailed me back. I am also so worried my pap is not back yet? I had it done last Tuesday afternoon. Im afraid if things were OKAY, then it would be back already?????
