TSH without doctor's order

Hello,
does anyone how you can check you TSH without the doctor's order? I heard about some orders on line but I'm not sure if this is not a scam.
thanks

Thank you so much. Just checked the site and the TSH  only is $40.

No, it's not a scam.  Online testing is usually reasonably priced and very prompt (sometimes faster than going to your local lab).  I know some members have been impressed with healthcheckusa.  While your at it, consider having free T3 and free T4 tested as well.  This will give you a much more complete profile than TSH alone.  My hypo was actually diagnosed via online lab work, but I believe the lab I used (several years ago) has either changed their name or is no longer in business.  The TSH test cost me around $35 and was verified a couple of weeks later by local lab work.
