Go to your Doctor.

[donberry427]

even if you could get a blood test without going to your doc it would be pretty expensive. I believe a blood test is like 400-600 bucks without insurance

[CFH]

try health one labs

[Charlie6]

ZRT labs

[bigslick7878]

I got this from a search on this forum..

http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Suppleme...lood-Test.html

Basically $275 for the test if you sign up for a membership plus thee cost (75$ plus $200 for members)

Forgive me for being stupid but how do these things work?? What do you put in the capsule they send you? Blood? saliva?

I use these guys all the time https://www.directlabs.com . Order, pay, they send you form online to print out, use locator to find clinics that they work with(they have many), go in, give the person at the desk the print out, they draw blood, and you get results online within 24 hours, usually.

$97 for a basic blood test

CBC
Thyroid Panel
Liver Panel
Kidney Panel
Minerals & Bones

wow this place looks legit! im gonna try it out now. thnks!

but what about your tes panel? thats not incluced in the 97 package. can you mix and match?

[sarasotafloridabrian]

Legit docs only charge about $200.00 (here anyway). Many labs even advertise (but usually towards older folks) that they have specials for $149.00.
It's not that expensive, so go the correct route and get it done.
I'm scheduled this week in fact.

[sarasotafloridabrian]

PS, make sure you order a Testosterone Screening. All blood tests look for different things and have different fee's associated with them.

Bump...

Would this be all the tests one would need? Is that the rigth Testosterone test --- or is there something else?

Thanks.

[Marty_4]

So does anyone know of any in the UK?

[Captain]

They are legit, inexpensive, and very helpful. Let's just say I have a friend that works there...

I usually do not comment as I am very new but I actually have years of experience with them....

[RoachForLife19]

For GH testing would the Wellness + HGH test be sufficient, or should I get something else as well?

Not bad for $159. Doesn;t look like it includes any estrogen level tests. How would I make sure my hormones (both test and estro) are back in the normal range.

[RoachForLife19]

sorry a dumb question but what is this HIPPA release all about? Do I need to do it?

Im thinking I just print out the requisition form, schedule an appt with LabCorp and bring it with me and im golden. But got thrown off when I saw this HIPPA release form and electronic signature thing

Thanks

[RoachForLife19]

Actually, would I be paying LabCorp any money too or do I just say its thru DirectLabs without giving any of my insurance info or cash or whatnot. Thanks all

[Vettester]

Try www.privatemdlabs.com

I can get you a coupon code for an extra 15% off, which brings the deluxe male panel down to about $127. It's a pretty easy setup to work with.

[RoachForLife19]

Just wanted to add the responses to my own questions a few posts up
-The fee with DirectLabs is 100% the fee (aka nothing was paid to LabCorp)
-The required my address, phone, and the req sheet from DirectLabs website
-The thing with HIPPA is ONLY if you want to send the results to your local doctor (no thanks!)
-I went to LabCorp at lunch, be prepared to wait a good 30min before going in. The blood part took all of 2minutes

I got my blood taken today, hoping to get results tomorrow if not Thursday
Thumbs up

[Relax007]

What do you ask your doc to test/check if you go that route?

[RoachForLife19]

not sure if this is directed to me, but long story short is I wouldnt even bother. Unless your doc is really cool. Mine was a douche.

[Dr. Green]

so how many days should it take after you are off the cycle for your test, estrogen and and whatnot to return to normal??

Thanks for the info ! So you did not have to sign the HIPPA, right? Did you get your results yet from directlabs.com? Which test did you order and were you satisfied?

Thanks.

Anyone use these guys lately? Was thinking about giving them a try but want to make sure they are gtg?

[RoachForLife19]

I did about a month ago, everything went perfect

[powerws]

4-6 weeks after PCT

[Callsign]

I've been going to a Dr for my past two cycles, how do you guys know how to read the results?

[baseline_9]

Look thru the stickies, i think marcus did a thread about BW results

It may be in a different section, maybe the QandA section

[baseline_9]

My bad, thread posted by merc

[sus250turbo]

Thanks guys,

[SlimmerMe]
