Rythm VS Quest blood tests

Calm Logic said:
My results with Fitomics also show up at the website of Quest Diagnostics. Not for LabCorp though, which was months ago.

By the way, Quest is still hounding me down for $57 from 2018. I thought I paid it since it was a self/pre pay test, but the lab tech iust reminded me it is still due. I then looked into it and my FSA reversed the $57 months later. Bastards.

I was really interested in the large batch of tests at Function Health done twice a year for $365. It wasn’t the cost that concerned me, but the unknown privacy risks.

So for now, I’m sticking with biannual tests through my PCP. They’re covered by insurance, but not as varied as those offered by Function. Perhaps the hypochondriac in me shouldn’t get those Function tests anyway. 🤣
 
I'm the only person in the waiting room at my Labcorp. Shocking. I guess because of the holidays. But they still are taking their slow-ass time, even with an appointment.

If I was using insurance, I would try a hospital here that usually has no wait.

Already got the blood results from the draw at Labcorp, less than 24 hours ago. But I didn't order anything special like hormone tests. I know IGF from Labcorp takes a full week.

And I just remembered the hospital here doesn't provide online results for three days, to give time for the doc to see the results first.
 
Finally signed up for fitnomics. Since I just had everything else done, I just went with an IGF-1 and CMB for $17. I recently started Tesa/IPA so I need to get them done. Then in a month or two I'll need to get another testosterone test for the enclomiphene I'm starting next week. This is a game changer to just get whatever tests I need whenever I want for dirt cheap! It's going to be so easy to keep track on everything. It's crazy! Thanks for the heads up about it.

Please let me know how it goes. I'm looking for easy, private, and accurate blood testing places myself.

Can I DM you about the Enclomiphene?
 
Update on my experiences with Siphox and Rythm.

Siphox continues to disappoint. They literally take weeks to deliver a test after ordering. At least 1/2 the tests I've sent in have to be repeated. The latest incident was when my wife and I both sent in tests. We both received confirmation that our tests were recieved at the lab. 3 days later we both received an email saying that the tests had been lost in the mail. I contacted them and asked what was going on. They said that the lab 'forgot' to mark them as received but rest assured, they are being processed at the lab, and they would send us each a free test to make up for it. Ok.
3 weeks after they received the samples, still no results so I asked what the status of the tests were. "those samples are now expired from being too old." What? When I send in a test, I want to know what the markers are at that point in time as I often change dosing immediately after the test. Now it's useless for me to take another test because my markers are going to be different. If I ever get through all the 'free' tests they've sent me to make up for errors, I'll not be sending them any more business.

Rythm on the other had has been stellar in getting tests delivered to me within a couple days of ordering and results from the tests in under a week, once within 3 days. Until something changes, I'll send them all my business.
 
Man, Rythm is killing it. I dropped a sample Monday morning to FedEx. I got results in 36 hours. One of my kids dropped a sample Tuesday morning and got results in 31 hours.
Suck it Siphox.
 
For those following, Rythm has added additional markers to their test at no extra charge:

I think I’m gonna give it a shot. I’ll schedule a blood draw via Ulta/queat and snap the Rythm thing on during my visit.
 
I've heard that capillary tests like Rhythm are not as accurate as venous draws. It's probably adequate for certain markers but can be inaccurate for measuring hormone levels.

My timing wasn’t as precise for sure, but that’s what I did with Rythm, Siphox, and Labcorp.
