How long between tests?

I have another quick question. You answered my post here: http://www.medhelp.org/perl6/Thyroid/messages/1704.html
and said to re-test my TSH/T3 Free & T4 Free............ How long should I wait to test these again before doing the complete pituitary hormone assessment?
Family doc suggested 2 months due to POTENTIAL insurance issues (I'm going to call insurance to see if I can do the Pituitary testing now) before doing a TSH retest. I also now have an appt with an endo on Feb 13th. That's a long way off.
Thank you!
