Interesting, thanks. I did do a basic consumer blood test which reported my testosterone as "normal" (whatever that means), but I should probably do a more in-depth one and check these things.

Yup, I strongly recommend you do at least the ones I mentioned above, it's possible that your issues could be very simple to fix.

Seems like a terrible resource. Much better would be blood work at your PCP (and a possible referral to an endocrinologist).

Endocrinologists are terrible at knowing what hormone ranges are good for your age and sex. As a man with thyroid problems, I am thoroughly disabused of the idea that most endocrinologists have any clue what they're talking about. Certainly, for a middle aged women, must can put it together, but barring that, you're better off on facebook groups.
