Adults

In order to make your first appointment most efficient it is very helpful to have certain tests done beforehand. If you are coming in for a pre-conception/fertility visit the minimum tests our physicians like to see before your appointment are:

TSH
Free T4
Free T3
Reverse T3
TPO
TgAb
Progesterone - day 20 of your menstrual cycle (day 1 is the first day bleeding begins)
Vitamin B12
Homocysteine
Vitamin D
CBC
Ferritin

If your doctor is not able or willing to run all of these tests please contact the clinic using the form below and we will order these labs for you through Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics. You will be e-mailed a pdf of a lab requisition that you need to print and take to a Labcorp draw site or a Quest service center in your area. Insurance will often pay for labs ordered by Dr. Peirson, but we cannot guarantee this. Understanding your insurance coverage and whether labs will be covered or not is your responsibility.

**Please be sure the technicians at the service center fax results to our office at (503) 894-6048.

If you would like information to take to your doctor to help convince him/her to order labs this article may help.
