What have your experiences been?
For me, PrivateMDLabs is cheaper, but DiscountedLabs gets my lab work back much faster.
For the same panels, PrivateMDLabs took 5 days to get my blood work last time, and DiscountedLabs took 2. I got blood again on Tuesday at 8am, and they now told me it will take 10-14 days. I can't be waiting weeks to get results, I want them in 2 days max, so I think I'll be going with Discounted labs from now on.
10-14 days is quite long. Did you run anything odd that they'd have to send out as opposed to running "in-house"?
Nope, just general hormone panel for men. CBC, testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, lipids, sugar, igf.Quote:

Generally for total T, free T, CBC, CMP, E2, etc. it takes about 5-7 business days.
Well I guess that's just what it is.
Anyone know a lab that will actually show your test level when you're on cycle instead of just ">2000" or something like that?
If you order "test-lcms" it'll give you a real numberQuote:

Sensitive. Some guys order ultrasensitve and then try to compare the values to sensitive, which doesn't really work. Pick one, sensitive or ultrasensitve and stick with it. I've always ordered sensitive E2Quote:

There is no blood test for HCG efficiency. It acts as LH but does not show as such in bloodwork. A drop from the vial on a pregnancy test will show positive. Nut size tells the restQuote:

If both lines appear, it's good. No matter how faint the second line is

For most intents and purposes, this test is all we need and a bag of chips.
With code it was $169.70
Discounted labs seemed cheaper, but thier package was capped and didn't include PSA, CMP, AND cholesterol didn't give hdl:ldl ratio.. it's price was 159 plus $8 draw fee so it was about the same as private after the discount code, and private is more thorough.
But that doesnt look like itll give me my E2.... which I need to see since I havent been using an AI... or does it include E2?Quote:
