[QUOTE="RickB, post: 246477, member: 42882"] I know that. And see how it's written in bold in your quote right above me? "[B]Estradiol (E2)[/B]", which is what just about everyone refers to it as. The OP said his doctor wanted "[B]Estradiol Level Total[/B]" tested, which is totally correct. You evidently misread that and thought he wanted total estrogen tested, because you quoted him saying "Estradiol Level Total" and under it you commented: "[I]Total estrogen isn’t as useful as simply checking estrogen. Total estrogens is all forms of estrogen, including weak estrogens. Estrogen (E2) is a more potent form of estrogen and therefore is more useful. Your urologist nailed it on everything else![/I]" If you had said "[B][I]estradiol[/I][/B][I] (E2) is a more potent form of estrogen and therefore more useful[/I]", it would've been obvious to everyone that you had simply not read the OP's post correctly, and it wouldn't have been worth me mentioning. But you used the term "estrogen (E2)", which is hardly ever used and would be very misleading for those readers who don't know that E2 is estradiol. "E2" is not a widely used term (LabCorp and Quest refer to it as "estradiol"), and many newer members may not know they are the same thing. You made a simple mistake from reading too fast or carelessly, not a knowledge-based error. I only mentioned it because of the difference in terminology that you chose to use to address it. This doesn't mean you aren't more knowledgeable than I; it just means that I caught a mistake that I think can confuse people, so I addressed it. If you want to pretend you made no mistakes, and that you meant to tell someone who was going to get his [B]Estradiol Level Total[/B] tested that "[I]total estrogen isn't as useful[/I]" and "[I]E2 is a more potent form[/I]" and "[I]Your urologist nailed it on everything else![/I]", you can go right along doing that without further comment from me, as there's really nothing more that can be said.
