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

JCUSN · Aug 15, 2024

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.

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.
