Basic/Affordable/Comprehensive Bloodwork

Man, LabCorp is straight-up trash compared to Quest. I even asked them for partial results and instead I get this love letter: “Normal turnaround time is 4 days… oh but wait, there’s an extra 3-day delay because apparently our lab can’t figure out how to send your sample anywhere else. Just sit tight, champ, you’ll get the final report when it’s good and ready.”

Like seriously? That’s the last time I’m wasting my time with them. Quest makes it simple, smooth, and they actually send partial results as they come in. With LabCorp it feels like waiting for dial-up internet to load a single picture back in the 90s.
Sometimes I get mine same day with LabCorp. Not always but usually in a day or two.
 
Well apparently the am/pm submitted my TT and FT through quest.

I’m on 750mg test e, split between Sat/Mon/Wed. Took this on Monday morning. People say it’s uncapped but it feels like my TT should be higher.

You are below a 5x multiplier to your test dose, not the worst response (5x750 = 3750), not low enough to indicate a dosing issue.
 
That's ridiculous. I live in California, which often overregulates. However, I can go into any drug store and buy syringes without a prescription and order my own labs. Of course, I have to pay for the labs I order for myself since health insurance won't cover them.
Hasn't always been like that in Cali.
 
I interpreted that as "You get one or the other"
Would be cool if it actually included both
I assumed the same thing and was annoyed because I wanted both. But you can still go to the noon sensitive E test and select it even though it like checked off.
When I added the sensitive test, the normal test below it automatically selected itself and marked itself as "included".
See above.

I haven't completed my order yet so I shouldn't be certain in my assumption that "included" means what I think it does

However, for comparison

The last time I ordered the $22 Testosterone, free, bioavailable, total, MS, SHBG marked itself as included just like the estradiol test does, and I did get a SHBG result included without manually selecting it

I think they're just trying to cover you so you don't pay for something twice. Assuming someone that got the sensitive would not want the regular.

With the shbg I assume it would be the same test twice.

This is also just me spitballing I haven't paid and don't the order just yet. Going to in the next week.
 
Bonus for anyone using goodlabs. We all iike the 25% off codes but see they only last 30 or so days. I reached out to goodlabs and asked if we bought labs with Quest and didn't schedule a blood draw how long the order would be good for. You can see his response in the screenshot. Not bad!

$109, not bad, thanks to whoever originally shared this. I also paid for the cheap E2 to have some initial result and really because I have been curious about the difference between the two.

Hey guys. So I’m running a TRT 25mg/day + 4iu/day Did my initial bloodwork done to establish baseline. I was playing with different labs and their prices and found out superpower.com has 131 biomarkers for $199 and the rest that they were missing, I ordered from Ultra lab tests for total of $181.75 This is a one time use regarding superpower since I don’t know how much they would charge if I were to order the same test from them again. All in all total of $380. I’m getting blood drawn on Monday at Quest so we’ll see how it’ll go. I included below a list of all the biomarkers included in the price.

My first experience with GoodLabs went really well, but I’ve got a quick question: is there a limit on those 20% discount codes? I tried using a few that people shared here, but it keeps giving me the same error: “Failed to apply a referral code: 400 bad request.”

I know people can use yours multiple time. I have four referral discounts on top of the first one I got for using someone else's.

So maybe you can only use someone else's twice? The things with the discount is they don't stack and they are only valid for 30 days. The good thing is you can buy labs ahead of time without scheduling the draw and the order is good for one year.

I confirmed this with goodlabs the other day.

Yeah, I actually emailed them too, just wanted to grab another test but couldn’t get the 20% code to work this time. Once they reply, I’ll post the update here so we’ll know for sure what’s going on.
