LetsGetChecked - Female Hormone Test | Fertility Insights | Private and Secure | Home Sample Collection Kit | Online Results in Approx 2-5 Days

I ordered this test to check my hormones to make sure my ovaries were still functioning following a hysterectomy last year. I had my hormones tested twice last year, and both times they were within normal ranges but there was a significant drop in my estradiol with my second test. That was 6 months ago, and something came up on a routine exam this year that made me want to re-check my levels. My doctor was being a pain about it, so I decided I'd test independently in hopes that everything was OK, and if not it would give me the fuel to push things with her if needed.First, I ordered ovulation test strips that detect ovulation via urine. I tested myself every morning for 2 months straight to confirm my ovulation cycle. Bzsed on my pre-surgery cycle length, once I identified my ovulation in month 1 I was able to accurately predict month 2's ovulation within 1 day. Also during this time, I used several menopause test strips throughout my cycle to confirm I did not have higher than normal FSH levels. Based on all these urine tests, I felt I was definitely ovulating and not in full menopause, but I still had concerns that my ovaries may not be producing enough estradiol (like perhaps they were functioning but not super well).Next, I ordered this kit and continued my daily ovulation pee tests with the plan to do the blood test when I ovulate since I can confirm when that is whereas I cannot confirm when day 3 of my cycle is due to the hysterectomy. Also, it would give me the opportunity to see what is the peak level of estradiol my ovaries are creating. Thursday morning I ovulated, a day earlier than I predicted. I scrambled to register my test kit, schedule a UPS pickup, and do the test. Based on other reviews, I was a little worried about getting enough blood. I did one of those blood type tests a couple of years ago and it didn't go well. But after I registered the kit, my phone walked me through step by step instructions that were super clear. The instructions suggested washing hands with warm water, and I think that really helped. One prick and I got enough blood easily. It wasn't much needed really at all. Got it all sealed up, a couple hours later UPS picked it up, and the next morning (Friday) I received a text and email confirmation that the lab received my sample. Those confirmations said results would come in 3-5 days, but I got my results the next day, Saturday, mid-day. Super fast! Since I know I was ovulating and the test recommends testing on day 3 of cycle, I knew my levels should be higher than what the test would think is the normal range, so I wasn't surprised when I logged in and saw that they were "abnormal." I have records of my 2 previous estradiol, LH, and FSH blood test results and compared these results to those prior results as well as to normal follicular, mid-cycle, and luteal ranges. Based on the fact I was ovulating the day of my test, and compared to my past results and research, I feel very confident in these results' accuracy. I'm super grateful I was able to do this myself instead of dealing with my less than helpful doctor.I would certainly use this company's services again in the future as well. Such an easy process!

They advertise a free nurse consult and ability to write prescriptions ($39 consult) but they do not write prescriptions for estradiol with low results. A consult that is very basic is given and tell to see a doctor.The needles barely break the skin and I used all 4 with a firm press after hot water hand wash. 35 minutes for the 500+ drops of blood. The tube is cheap so blood wants to go everywhere but down the tube. I should have had a better needle or razor blade to assist. Don’t bother if blood makes you faint.

I had to pierce four fingers, and even then I wasn’t able to get to that top fill line. Thankfully, the lab was still able to analyze my blood. The results were ready in a few days. I appreciate the service and the tests available. Drawing your own blood can make you feel faint and stressed, so I suggest that you sit down while drawing your blood and have someone available to help you in case you need it. One of my test results showed elevated stress hormone, and it could have been because of this procedure, trying to get enough blood. I later learned online that you should wait 3-4 hours after waking before drawing your blood when it’s going to measure that stress hormone. But don’t wait too long, because you need to also be able to schedule your pickup.

It’s impossible to fill the tube up with blood. Don’t waste your $ Edit: even though I couldn’t use the product, they did contact me and offered a full refund. Excellent customer service! If you have someone who can draw the blood for you I’m sure the product would be great!

Okay so I can't rate this based on how well I thought the results reflected my state of health because I was unsuccessful with gathering a blood sample all FOUR times I tried... For some reason, I didn't think about being dehydrated since it was in the morning when they tell you to take your sample... Take it that morning, and ship it the same day.... I thought maybe I was just cold, so I took my shower then tried again, and it still didn't work.... So I tried the running of the arms under hot water, and it still didn't work.... I was persistent trying because I already scheduled a pickup with USPS and they were supposed to be here sometime that day. As far as the company goes, it works a little differently than Everlywell if you've ever tried their tests but I feel like this company is a little more thorough as far as how they explain what to do and how to get the most accurate result. I'm bummed it didn't work but I'd definitely be willing to try again, and from the experience I did have, I can recommend them as a sound company... Just drink a lot of water the night before and in the morning if you think you might have issues...

My payment wasn’t refunded back to the original Payment Card, So I’m Still Waiting For My refund

So I didn’t know they had such tests that are home based. I’m finding more and more home kits like this very intriguing to me. Love that you don’t even have to go visit a dr and basically waste away your dad in the waiting room even when you’re scheduled for a specific time slot. How inconvenient that is for people that take time out of their day or work hours to have to go through that.Well here comes convenience. This kit requires a blood sample. Registering your kit before you mail your sample and then you pend waiting the results.I have t submitted mine yet. I will though. This one is interesting. Looking forward to this reveal.Again this does require blood sample and for you to also be on your monthly flow in order for this to be accurate. Please read the directions.
