Is Blood Work Necessary before starting Fin? 19M

Hi there all,

After a years journey of considering to take fin. I went to the Derm today and got it prescribed. He prescribed me 1mg a day for 6 months and then after that we can lower the dosage, to allow the best regrowth.

From reading this Sub, I see many say it is best to get bloodwork done before Fin, to get your baselines. I told the dr this, and he said it isnt necessary, but will send me if I want to. He only asked for Free Test+SHBG and DHT. Is this worth doing? Is there any other tests I should add to this? Should I just start taking the medication?

I did blood tests in November which included.
TSH 1.58 0.27-4.2 uIU/ml
Free T4 18.7 12-22 pmol/l
Oestradiol 36.6 0-160 pmol/l
Prolactin 28.6 0-17 ng/ml - Raised
Total Test 24.19 9.4-37 nmol/l

Can I use this as baseline and does it include all I need?
