Online laboratories - any experienece

[HopefullyDreaming]

Has anyone used one of the online laboratories for some of the initial fertility blood tests?

An IVF clinic in Greece is looking for a number of test results before we have a consultation - however the private fertility clinics in Scotland will not see 'outside' patients for testing at the moment.

I can get the scans done privately through a private scanning clinic, but some of the blood tests are cheaper to have done through online laboratories. Can anyone advise what the service is like, is it easy to provide the blood?

@HopefullyDreaming I had to do one recently for social distancing reasons - they send you a kit to prick your little finger and you sort of have to milk the blood into a small vial and send off in the post. All very easy except my sample then got lost in the post! ended up attending the clinic in person in the end

My husband and I have used Medichecks a few times. As above you have to prick your finger with a rather vicious lancet and then squeeze the blood into a tiny blood tube. I've used them for various tests including AMH.
On one occasion a sample got lost in the post but I think that was due to the Royal Mail and covid-19 delays, rather than Medichecks themselves. It can take up to 1 week between posting your sample back, and the results appearing online.
