Thanks for the response mate.

They don’t offer the sensitive test in the uk, so this is the best I can get. What concerned me was that I’m c20% over the highest reference point, on both tests.

Have you got a conversion tool to get to the pg/ml values? I had a look online before but was unsure on the best one to use.

Could SHBG be causing this to be inflated? Or does it not work like that.

Thanks for your help
