Maybe my E2 is so high it broke the machine…

never using quest again, did labcorp a few days ago, supposed to be faster turn around but about 40% higher price

I was surprised. I got my e2 back before my T results.
Took 13 days for mine last go around. Just got new labs earlier this week, and I’m hoping they turn it around a little faster this time

i think it also depends on your region
I get my blood work done every 4 months. Here is what I have learned about Labcorp.
1. If you use a third party like Marek or DiscountLabs, the turnaround time is longer.
2. If you order directly from Labcorp, the turnaround is very quick where I live. I recieved my last results the same day from Labcorp, including E2 (not sensitive). Honestly, waiting for 14 days for E2 results is almost useless.
3. It is cheaper when you use Marek or Discount Labs.
4. Not all of the tests are available directly from Labcorp. Most are.
Good luck and keep getting tested, it just might save your life!

it's also beyond the shelf life of the sample (14 days) - I was told by my third party vendor they are freezing the samples, but this is really ridiculous - will try a LabCorp based vendor next time. So they are basically looking at up to a month T/A time - that's an entirely useless test.

Yes its aggravating. If I knew there was a one month wait, then I would have waited to get mine done. Labcorp is a little expensive where im at and privatemdlabs has good discounts.

the vendor i'm looking at that uses LabCorp is a little more expensive on some assays and cheaper on others - basically a wash - but if they can get the U/S E2 back in 10 days or less that's worth it to me - this is rubbish from Quest.

i hate to burst your bubble, but i had Labcorp take 16 days for a e2 test, so its really up in the air how long it will take.

In the same boat, I’m on 10th business day and still waiting.

It is what it is - LabCorp has an affiliate vendor that will come to my work and do the lab draw for me - that in itself is worth it for me to switch. The lab locations for both Quest and LC are a pain to get to and usually kill 90 mins at least round trip.
Quest has a similar setup but not available near me.

Had blood drawn this morning at Quest, so will be interested to see how long it takes for everything to come back, esp the sensitive E2.
Speed doesn't matter to me, save for not making any changes till it all comes back, but it'd be nice to get things in a reasonable time.
