[QUOTE="James, post: 45815, member: 565"] I've always been a little puzzled with the whole standard vs sensative testing. I understand the bell curve and how the standard test was designed with woman in mind so it exaggerates estradiol levels in men. That said, my first 1.5 years on TRT, I only did the standard test (with two exceptions where I paid to have both tests done with the same blood pull), and although my standard numbers were higher than my sensative numbers, there was always consistency with the standard numbers. If I would keep the same T dose, my standard E2 numbers were always about the same. If I increased or decreased my dose, the standard numbers would follow suit. For the last year I've only tested E2 by sensative assay and the numbers are always lower than standard testing, but consistent as well. I've bought into Nelson's T/E ratio and use that, with the sensative E2 test, and how I feel more than the lab range, when determining proper E2 levels. But as for the standard test, my experience has been that the numbers were always consistent and would increase/decrease with changes in my T dose. [/QUOTE]
