Just be open and honest and tell them you want to keep a close eye on your health. They cannnot provide your medical records to anyone without your consent unless it is another doctor who is treating you or an emergency. I'm not a bro I do this shit for a living !! Labs I would suggest to start would be CBC, complete metabolic panel, total test, free test, estradiol , vitamin d , thyroid panel ( not just a Tsh) and hba1c.. good luck
I suggest Labsmd.com
Guys often order the wrong test with privatemd.
Is labsmd cheaper by any chance
I've never used privatemedlab either i use my doctor but im always curious
They're about the same price. labsmd doesn't have the 15% off code every week, but some tests are a little cheaper, some are a little more, on average, about the same. The plus of labs md is that all of their test tests go over 1500 and if you're on tren, their estradiol is tested in a way that doesn't result in false high e2 readings.
I usually use privatemd just because i hate the quest by me. privatemd uses labcorp, labsmd uses quest
Yeah I also prefer labcorp I didn't know that they used quest i wouldn't use it. The quest near me is truly a shit hole
You gotta ask yourself how the dr will handle the situation.
Drs share your info with your insurance company.
Hippa doesn't do much. You'll get dropped.
Im a little worried about that i just got this insurance last month and this is my new doctor. But i know how important blood work is anf playing russion roulette with my hormones is not wise. Im confident im e2 is in a decent range but that is just an assumption. With what you mentiond what are the costs and prerequisites needed for these private labs? Im new to this. My first cycle was trail and error more error than anything. This time around im making sure to hit all major points with accuracy. I gained a total of 7 lbs on my last test e cycle 12 weeks. This time around im up 16lbs up 5 weeks in.
If you're in the states i would suggest privatemedlabs.com
If you do go through your doctor tell him you want a hormone panel done because you think that your hormones might be off.
When it comes back >1500 he might freak out but you have the hippa act on your side
All you need to do is be open about your use and say you don't want any of this on your medical record. If the doctor disagrees, find a new one who has some integrity. Patient-doctor confidentiality is a very serious thing, and any PCP who doesn't respect that shouldn't be practicing.
Yea im state side. Ok so just a hormone panel? Thats everything ill need to go off of?
I don't believe that you will need progesterone tested so I would just get a hormone panel to see test free test and estrogen.
