How long for results

**canesfan804** · 11-15-2012, 11:41 AM

I had blood work done over 2 weeks ago and still no results. Is this normal? Quest did the bw.

Where are you getting your test? On your own or through your doctor?

Results should have been evident via blood panels and serum levels.

Dr sent me to Quest to get it done.

no no no!

Where are you getting your test - "osterone" - UGL or from your doc?

(not where are you getting your test - panels taken)

sorry for the confusion mate!

Was checking into my levels to see if I qualify for Dr treatment. Im currently not running anything. Did a cycle about 8-9 mos ago.

if its a doc order Quest won't let you have it, you got to go through the doc, but at least you can find out if they sent the results to your docr not.

Quest said they sent it to Dr on the 4th and they would resend it. Called the Dr and told them, they said they dont have it still. Also said they would find out and call me back. No word today and they are closed tomorrow.WTF its simple bw!!

bunch of shit from your doc's office is my guess, my family doc does the same shit with me, i get irritated and get in a bitchy mood then they move fast.

A doctors office that is sloppy with paper work and getting back to patients... sounds about right!

I use quest, they are pretty quick, most tests are done at 5 BUSINESS days. Estradiol ultrasensitive sometimes takes a little longer, like 2 days more.

The biggest problem is usually the staff at dr offices. That's why when they do their job well you need to let them know! Tell them how good they are, because they are rare.

Also, like someone else said, Quest can't give you your results - only your doctor can. Quest does offer this free iphone app called gazelle though. It's pretty easy to set up and I used it once. Might be worth a shot... I tend to think most offices respond to business third parties before they answer patient calls/emails.
