Just joined Siphox for labs
Has almost everything needed but to get sensitive E2 you have to add an extra hormone panel for 50 bux
Basically 200 a month for decent amount of biomarkers with everything needed
Cbc, hematocrit, lipids broken down, total, free test, E2 and whole slew of excellent markers to watch while on TRT.
Convenient mail service to your home kit then mail it back out. That is what im looking to compare

There are alot of companies that provide this type of service but each has different plus and minus’s. Whether its cost, frequency or not having a critical lab test needed such as E2 or free test etc.

Anyone with different experiences let me know please. Siphox would have been best at around 150 if it wasnt missing the E2 in the standard membership.

Im in nj so certain travel to labs are either not covered or more expensive to ala carte a few trt markers to cost around 120
 
I have used rythym but ur company offers much more. Wonder why neither test hematocrit?
 
I had to Google what you are talking about. I don't see how pricking a dropet of blood and sending it in will give you anything accurate at all bro. I wouldn't do mail in labs. ITs very easy and pretty cheap just to use labsmd.com or something like that. I use labsmd and always getting discounts. Maybe I'm ignorant and misinformed these days. I'm getting old
 
I actually ran my rythym the day before legit lab draws and all markers were pretty spot on
 
I chose siphox for the same reason but was sad when I found they didn't include HCT. Was debating getting one of the at-home hemoglobin/HCT meters but not sure how accurate they are.

I can’t image spending $200 a month on labs unless I was a competitor constantly running a lot of drugs. I spend near 6 months of the year simply on HRT; 100-150mg Test wk and 2-4iu GH daily. Quarterly labs while on HRT is plenty imo.

agreed, before I posted what I posted, that was my initial thoughts as well. Guys that don't want to get online blood work and go for blood draw see this as an easy way out, so they will pay it. When I go for blood work, they draw a shit ton of blood it seems. 3 long vials worth and gets handled properly. Cant see how these blood prick mail in tests are even accurate. To say they are, you would have to take the mail in draw and then immediately go for proper blood work and compare the 2

Does Rythm test the TRT basics (free,total test, hematocrit etc AND sensitive E2?) i read conflicting reports on its E2 test and if so whats the cost?

It does all the above except hematocrit. My E2 was inline with legit labs taken day after. The cost is 79 a month if u want to test each month.

I use a glucose monitor. I took a reading with that and then went and had my blood work done immediately after, I found. It’s almost one point off, the monitor was 12.6 and Quest was 13.5, HCT was similar.

Thank you very much. Rythm seems like a great option. But or course its missing hemetocrit which is critical. Just like how siphox is missing E2 unless you spend 50 dollars on top of the standard lab fees.

There are reasons why im looking to discuss peoples findings through the mail in providers. It may assist others as well as myself to a new type of convenient, possibly affordable option. Not so much why it is a good or bad idea. Its also not a finger prick its a specific volume.
Looking to dial in some things as i experiment after baselines without going the lab (alot of times same price) and also not going through my TRT provider or primary for a reason not specified.
Looking to see how daily injections bring down E2 which is highish with some sensitivity on the nipples without adding aromasin, maybe using DIM only, or maybe nothing etc etc.
 
I'm just curious why guys would want to test every month ? Are you making that many changes that it's needed ?
 
Sorry just noticed this was at home blood test.

Rythm kind of sucks, not much info and the device took a bite out of my arm, I’m going to do hello good labs, body builder panel, I add a touch of anadrol to my blasts and don’t want to yard sale my liver.

With hellogoodlabs labs I found if you use the ala-cart choices you can build a better panel then there pre put together panel for less usually. Non of there panels gave me the tests I wanted and ones I didn’t care about so I picked my own tests as you can see in my post above.

Also use the link in my post and you will get 20% off your order

If you have any questions just DM me. I’ve had 4 test through them using quest labs.
 
I just did the body builder because I think it had everything I needed, I think I got the discount because it was only 179 , I’ll try picking and choosing when I’m off blast and cruising

I just compared the body builder panel to what I did and mine has a few more but 1 or 2 less tests so it may come out similar but I posted my lab test above so you can compare the tests to the body builder panel. If you choose quest labs they also have app that will have the results also so you can see all the test you have had a quest.

I am using quest, I have never been, I’ve been to lab corp a few times, I liked it because I didn’t need an appointment and they were open Saturday mornings

I believe you can use lab corp through hellogoodlabs I believe there’s a drop down box at the top of the site to choose them but I think lab corps prices are higher (I just checked and labcorp doesn’t have the bodybuilder test and the individual test are definitely more)

I’ve had good results with quest and it’s close to me.
