how long for blood results??

[bennyha]

i went to an endo last tuesday and had my blood taken early the next morning. I was wondering if anyone would know how soon before my results would be done. would an endo go over the results with me? and do they give me a copy of the results because i would sure like one? and where do i go from there? anyone who could help in any matter i would greatly appreciate it.

My results were back in 7 days.

Yes, he will definitley go over the results with you.

Yes, you should get a copy.

Once you have the results, depending on how they look depends on where to go from there.

It depends on where they send the blood for the actual test.  

If it was done in large clinic or hospital it may be ready the next day. If it is in a lab in the same city it will probably be 2 or 3 days.  Some send it across the country & will take a week or two.

You should always get a copy of the lab results complete with the ranges of the tests as well as the actual test level.

ex.  Total Testosterone 540 in range of 230 - 800.
230 in for a guy about 90 & 800 is for a young man in his 20s

You should not be in the lower half of the range of Total T .

For Estrogen E2 you should be in the bottom of the range.

Good luck
