Same Draw - 2 Different Results Quest

See attached images. I’m not sure why, but Quest sent me 2 results from the same draw, and they both show different results. They aren’t even close - 1 is showing E2 @ 10, and the other @ 23. These are pretty important numbers. It’s the difference between AI, and no AI. The test was ordered through Discounted Labs. Any ideas?

Are you sure they were done on the same day? It looks like the dates of the labs are two days apart?
Thank you for the response. I am 100% positive on the date the were drawn from me. As for testing, I’m not sure. Do you think the e2 level would have changed because they split the sample for some reason, and tested the blood at different times?

So what date matches with the date you know they did the draw? specifically, the date collected !

We can't see the date collected on the bloodwork where you had E2 = 23, it the draw date different?

But really, this is the type of question only quest can answer.

The tests were performed one day apart.

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.
