[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 142041, member: 38109"] In my case two out of six have been completely wrong, in one case leading to a dubious treatment recommendation from the doctor. There is additional anecdotal evidence in [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/spreadsheet-for-calculating-free-t-e2.17216/post-132104']this thread[/URL] where [USER=15043]@Gman86[/USER] posted a lot of test results, and it turned out that the standard estradiol tests were producing better numbers than the sensitive tests. It's important to be aware that if you personally have significant amounts of substances other than estradiol that the standard tests pick up then you cannot rely on these tests for accurate absolute numbers. However, they are still useful for relative measurements, as they are very reliable, basically idiot-proof. In my case the standard tests are consistently around 10% higher than the sensitive tests. Therefore, if I use the standard test and subtract ~10% I will be more likely to have a good measurement than with the sensitive test, which has been over 50% low on those two occasions. [/QUOTE]
