Hormone testing: Need some help!
in Health ·
Aim for day three or four of your cycle. If day three falls on a Saturday and the clinic in my town 😠 is closed on weekends, just go on Friday instead. If day three hits on a Sunday, wait until Monday. It’s a little confusing, but the goal is to stay within a day or two of that third day. Don't worry about fasting; this isn't like a glucose test. You'll have to pay for the labs unless you have supplemental insurance or an exemption card. When I did mine without coverage, it cost about $12 for four hormones. Results here usually take anywhere from three to twenty days depending on their current supply of those specific markers. Maybe things work differently in Chicago, but hopefully you won't be waiting forever. Good luck 👍
Oh, I almost forgot—the best part is that you don't actually need an appointment (which is lucky, since booking here usually requires scheduling 🙄 thirty days in advance). Your referral will typically specify day three, but even if it doesn't, just tell the receptionist. They know the drill 😬
