Question 1

What is Tasso?

Accepted Answer

Tasso is a simpler, less painful way to collect blood samples at home. The Tasso+ device included in our Female Hormonal Health Panel is a blood lancet that collects whole liquid blood samples. It attaches to your upper arm and allows blood to collect in a small tube for about 5 minutes. Then, you can remove the device and the tube to ship your sample to the lab for processing.

Question 2

Should I get a test kit with or without a consult?

Accepted Answer

We are able to provide Female Health Hormonal Panels with or without an accompanying consult with a Wisp provider (a panel with a consult is an additional $25). If you simply want to track your hormone levels or get a little more information about your body, you may not need a provider.

Question 3

How long will my results take?

Accepted Answer

Your test results will be available around 10 business days after your sample reaches the lab. We work with CLIA and CAP certified labs across the United States that cover a range of different diagnostic tests.

Question 4

Where do I view my results?

Accepted Answer

Your results will be available to view in your Wisp Account Messages. If you purchased a consult with your panel, the Wisp Care Team can provide you with guidance on your next steps.

Question 5

Can I take the test if I’m on hormonal treatments?

Accepted Answer

If you are on hormonal contraception, including birth control pills, the Female Hormonal Health Panel can make results difficult to interpret. We recommend being off of hormonal contraception for at least 3 months to obtain accurate baseline hormonal levels.

Question 6

What causes hormone levels to vary?

Accepted Answer

Hormone levels change throughout the day, across the menstrual cycle, and from minute to minute. A single blood test captures only one moment in time and may not represent your overall hormone status. Stress, sleep, and food can also all play a role in hormone production and some drugs can also interfere with hormone levels or test accuracy.

Question 7

How should these results be used?

Accepted Answer

Hormone panel results are most meaningful when combined with: Your symptoms and medical history Information about when the sample was collected (time of day, cycle day) Physical examination findings Your healthcare provider's clinical judgment A single abnormal value doesn't always mean there's a problem, and normal values don't always rule out a condition if you have symptoms.

Question 8

When might repeat testing be beneficial?

Accepted Answer

Your provider may recommend additional testing if: Results don't match your symptoms Values are borderline or unexpected Confirmation is needed for diagnosis Treatment response needs monitoring
