Quest/Discounted Labs - only partial results after a week of waiting. Anything I can do?

I used Discounted Labs to get total T, free T, and estradiol ultra sensitive labs.

The total T and free T came back within 3 days, but I’m still waiting on estradiol. It just says “In Progress,” which is ridiculous. It has never taken this long. It has now been one week since the test was done.

Is there anything I can do? I’m out the money for this lab panel now.

I’ll never use Quest again.
 
estradiol ultra sensitive labs.
The estrogen ultrasensitive lab test is a lot more labor intense and requires a skilled lab technician to get an accurate result. When I was running my estrogen lab test at LabCorp, it took at least a week, often times a week and a half.

This can put you in a bit of a pickle if you’re trying to decide to increase, decrease or stop your AI dose.

Wait. It will come. Take a deep breath. You aren't out of money. Just think how happy you'll be when you see the result and know that all is well.

It will work out. Discounted Labs is as solid as they come.

update?

Only fair to report results of experiment either way (good or bad). My guess is you got your results back.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
