I got my period within 12 hrs of having my blood drawn for FSH, LH, Prolactin and DHEA-S

Testosterone and 17-A-hydroxyProgesterone was done about 10 days before the next period. Should I repeat any tests ?

Yikes! I got the DHEA-S test done without my gyn's precription, reading this forum. I showed it to her she did not seem worried. She just looked at FSH,LH and Prolactin and sent me off to see a diabetic endocrinologist, who ordered full blood test(something called a metabolic profile 2) and said everything looks normal... Should I get a second opinion ? If I let the second opinion doc know that I'm looking for a second opinion will that bias him/her in anyway ?
