I think this is the info you requested.
Prolactin
april/2000: 35 NG/ML (Reference range 3.0-20.0)
sept/2002: 43.2 NG/ML
Testosterone:
april/2000 55 NG/DL (Reference range 49-120)
sept/20002 141 NG/DL
By the way, I had surgery this summer to remove a dermoid cyst from left
ovary and both ovaries appeared normal and an MRI in Jan 2000 also
normal. Thanks again
