Annoyed - hormone testing!

Hi all. I have noticed a mid-cycle pattern where my hormones seem to go haywire (I suspect low progesterone as I've always felt much better when on progesterone during fertility treatments). I get really oily hair and skin, night sweats, am really tired etc. I'm currently getting private health insurance sorted to see an endo specialist (after a lap with a general gynae a few years ago) but asked my GP if I could get my hormones tested in the meantime. She agreed to a hormone profile test.

I've just phoned for the results and been told that my FSH levels are fine - that's all that was tested! Surely this can't be right - I'd specifically mentioned testing estogen and progesterone to my GP. Does anyone know what should be included in a hormone profile before I complain? Thanks!
