Here is a study showing the correlation of overestimation of E2 by immunoassay with C reactive protein levels

Further evidence of the immunoassay and it's inaccuracy

from labcorp regarding the immunoassay https://www.labcorp.com/wps/portal/...408440&criterion=Estradiol,+Sensitive+(LC/MS)
Finally, I introduce Exhibit A:
into evidence.
The purpose of "Exhibit A" is to show that while the standard test usually overestimates E2, it sometimes does the opposite, and that it's a poor way to assess where your E2 is.
