Hey everyone!
My OB-GYN just handed me my results and told me I need to get these specific tests done ASAP:
-CBC, CMP, iron studies, liver panel, lipid profile, urinalysis, and coagulation tests
-A screening for pelvic issues via ultrasound
The thing is, she didn't actually explain *why* I need all this during the exam; she basically just ushered me out the door... is this standard if I'm starting birth control? Because she already wrote me the prescription for them, so I'm feeling a bit lost here.
Does anyone have any idea what these specific labs are looking for?
Thanks!
