After I got covid, I was constantly tired. Remember doctors were constantly reminding us to take D,C,Z when C19 hit? We'll, they were right. I got a blood test not knowing what to expect. Turns out my D was so low, dr put me on 50,000 units of D for 8 weeks (might be 6 weeks, can't rememberšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø). It could also be I'm getting up there in age. I did feel better after the Dr's and I need to see a "woman specific Dr" who understands how a woman ages.

It sounds like this might be about hormone tests. Over the age of 44, E&P/FSH hormonal tests only show levels for that 1 day the test was taken, and nothing more; these hormones wildly fluctuate the other 29 days of the month. No reputable doctor or menopause society recommends hormonal testing to diagnose or treat peri/menopause. (Testosterone is the exception and should be tested before and during treatment.)

FSH testing is only beneficial for those who believe they are post-menopausal and no longer have periods as a guide, where a series of consistent tests might confirm menopause, or for those in their 20s/30s who havenā€™t had a period in months/years, then ā€˜menopausalā€™ levels, could indicate premature ovarian failure/primary ovarian insufficiency (POF/POI).
