Hi all. Sent for Monitor my Health blood test for TSH, T4+T3. Sent 1st thing Tues am. Only got a response Thurs pm to say test received. Could the delay by Royal Mail have resulted in Haemolysis? My first test in May went thru no probs, other than getting enough blood. This time, after all the tips I received, filled the vial in half the time! Start again next week!!!

Should be fine
Wait and see what results show
Email from Monitor my Health today said couldn't test my blood due to Haemolysis! Put in post Tues (after BH) for 9am pick up a few doors from me. Didn't get response from Mob tor my Health that test had arrived til Thurs pm! Could Royal Mail delay have been an issue re Haemolysis? Need to do another blood test!🥴
How annoying
Are they sending another kit free
Worth paying extra for guaranteed 24 hours delivery
This page does mention postal delay as a possible issue. Do also be sure not to massage or squeeze your finger to make more blood drop out. Follow all the pre prep including light exercise. hertilityhealth.com/blog/my...
Sorry, what a nuisance for you.

I believe haemolysis is usually due to the person squeezing the finger to get more blood out which damages the blood cells. No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Doing the pre finger prick preparation is well worth while and makes it a breeze as opposed to a fight!
