So i am getting blood work done december 2nd and i know for a fact my e2 levels are out of whack. Do i just say i need to get blood work done on my estrogen levels? Because i am currently on accutane and have to get blood work done every month anyway. But they dont check e2 levels etc... So can i just ask them to check that as well?

Do you want your doctor to know that your E2 levels are out of whack and risk having him investigate further? Totally up to you, but I personally like to keep those results to myself through private testing.
private testing... as in a place that does blood work separately... But my dr is a local friend from a small town. so if my e2 levels are out of wack... maybe he can help me out... he knows i am juicing.
So maybe i can get a script for it.

Private testing is where you order a blood test online and are able to have the results sent ONLY to you. It's all done in the same way as the ones paid for by your insurance, except there isn't a doctor really involved. You still go down to a nearby Labcorp and they take your blood all the same.
Well, that's definitely your call. I sure hope he isn't putting that information into your patient notes that insurance companies have access to...
He isn't... he is a really close friend i know what you guys mean... I promise plus he knew i was on prohormones. And i told him thats what really messed me up. I also said i am done juicing. But yet i still wanna get my e2 levels checked to see the ranges. That's what i've been saying. But i might get that home testing kit. That sounds easy enough.

It's not even really a kit, you just order the tests you want online, they send you an order to get blood drawn at a Labcorp office and they send you the results.
You might want to check if your state is eligible though, some states are restricted from direct lab work.

Poor Avido, living in one of those bass-ackwards states.
Oh i see well i know there is a place near me called anytime lab. Which is bloodwork and they check it... and give you your results. So i think that is my best option.
