My SheMed journey

[Kebabo]

I gave signed up and am now waiting for the blood test to arrive. I'll post updates on here so you will know if it is reputable or not. Hope it will help others.

Oh no! I've got -8 degrees tonight but no snow has settled where I am fortunately! (Or unfortunately haha)

Just signed up---- 😀

Did my blood test earlier it arrived at 11.30.

Very easy process and got connected straight away to live agent who was calm and helpful even though I felt a little nervous and flustered.
I had the heat pack missing but I just had to rub my arm instead so was no issue.

posted back and I’m hoping results won’t be too long but says up to 3 days

I posted on a Thursday, got my blood test results on Saturday, approval on a Sunday, pen in my hand on Tuesday. So it can be pretty quick @KeenGreen

@kittykarate fab thank you! 😊🤞

This has got me a bit worried, I posted my blood off and according to the royal mail tracking it was delivered at 07.21 on 8th January but my SheMed app still says they are waiting for my kit.
Hopefully it's just because they've had a lot of people sign up recently and they will suddenly update with results!

They don't seem to have a status in the app for 'received but being tested/waiting for results '. Mine went straight from waiting for your test to having results.

Oh that's good to know, thank you. I'll stop worrying 😁

Had an email just to tell me to do my blood test tomorrow as they are trying to catch up. Tomorrow it is then!!!

When did you post your sample back? I posted mine on Tuesday morning and Royal Mail tracking says it’s still waiting to be delivered at the mail centre

Took test and posted on Monday morning, royal mail delivered it Weds morning. Hopefully your parcel is delivered tomorrow morning!

Morning everyone,
I too have taken the plunge and trying SheMed and my blood test is due tomorrow.
just checking what everyone else did about fasting as the email I have received says that fasting is not required, but, from what I’m reading, most of you have been fasting beforehand?

When I did it, it was still saying fasting was required - but that was easy, I just did it in the morning before I'd eaten anything.

Thank you :) have you received your blood tests results yet?

Blood test done and sent. Just have to wait now!

Excellent! Fingers crossed 🤞

I did mine at 6am so fasting wasn't an issue. Connected to someone straight away and they talked me through the who process. Brilliant. It does not hurt at all.

These bloods won't make any difference to whether you do or don't lose weight with a GLP1

Has anyone in this group received their first pen yet and started?

Some on the other SheMed support thread have 😊

I got the same. The h fortunate thing is, due to snow my delivery has failed both yesterday and today so I’ll either receive Saturday or Monday I guess. Doesn’t matter that much as I wasn’t planning to do before Monday anyway but I’m still a bit impatient!

Got my results today. Nothing unexpected in there, everything was normal except all the cholesterol ones were into the high range.
I had my bloods done a couple of years ago and cholesterol was normal then but high cholesterol is a problem in my family so I guess it's caught up with me.

Oh and I meant to add, they did accept me. Took the first £99 pretty much straight away, and the first pen has been prescribed and dispatched!

That’s great news! 😊 when are you planning to jab?

Hopefully as soon as I get it 😁
