TweetYour insurance should cover it CJ. I had the "works" done (tested for everything health wise, STDs, etc) and only had to pay $37 or something like that. It was done at the student health center, but they billed my insurance.
Tweetiamdwalrus & slacker,
They did test for liver values, and the doc said all was fine. Which by the way was the main reason for doing the test.
On cholesterol, total is below normal, which means the low ( let's see if I can get this right slackerdud ) which is the bad was higher than average, the good, which is the HDL was way better than average, so in end total is good, just ldl little higher than average. Course family has history of high cholesterol. I eat non-processed foods, and relatively clean 80-90% of time and workout, including cardio, so don't know what else to do.
On the thyroid, he didn't mention anything specific, and don't really know what 1/2 of those tests are for. I did have my thyroid tested last August and all was good then, so assuming all is still so. Good point though, I will ask the doc next time I talk to him.
And my insurance, personal, has a 10K deductible, so this did come out of my pocket, yet seeing as how 45 yrs., and getting ready to do 3 cycles for the year thought in best interest of ME best to do it right.
In the end believe that Quality Always Costs Less, so this is the route I chose.
Thanks For Feedback & Help
