Magno Tracking
From lab PDF to a tracker in one minute
How to get every marker off a Medichecks, Thriva, Randox or clinic PDF into one place where the change since last time is visible.
Most people on TRT have their bloods in three places: a PDF in an email, a photo of a printout, and a screenshot of the flagged rows they posted in a forum. None of those show the change since last time, which is the only thing that matters after the first panel.
What a tracker needs to get right
- Names. Labs call the same marker different things: Oestradiol, Estradiol, E2, 17-beta-estradiol. Each needs to land on the same line.
- Units. UK labs report nmol/L and mmol/L; US labs report ng/dL and mg/dL. A tracker has to know both and never mix them on one line.
- Ranges. The lab range on the PDF is the honest range for that assay. It should be kept with the result, not replaced by a generic one.
- Dates. The collection date, not the report date, is when the blood was drawn.
How Magno does it
Drop the PDF, or a photo of the page, into the app or into the free reader at Read my bloods. The file is read on your phone with the text layer, or with OCR for scans and photos; nothing is uploaded. Every row comes back as marker, value, unit and range with a confidence dot, you correct anything the parser doubted, and it saves.
From then on each marker has one line across every test: the value, the lab range, the change since the last draw, and the panel it belongs to. The panel gets a written verdict: what the numbers mean together, the probable causes on a protocol, and what people usually do.
The habit that makes it work
- Draw at trough, same time of day, same lab, so tests compare like for like.
- Import the PDF the day it arrives. Two minutes now saves an evening of typing later.
- Log injections in the same place, so the bloods sit next to the doses that produced them.
- Export the lot as a clean PDF before a doctor's appointment. Doses, blood pressure and every marker on a few pages beats a stack of screenshots.
Photos work too
A phone photo of a printed report reads fine if the whole table is in frame, the page is flat and the light is even. Photos of a screen are harder; a screenshot of the PDF is better than a photo of it.
Read yours
Drop your lab PDF or a photo and get every marker read like this, in plain words. Free, no account, nothing leaves your browser. Save it in the app to see the change since your last test.
Not medical advice
This is how experienced TRT users read the number and what they usually do about it. Every decision about your protocol belongs to you and a clinician who knows you.
