[QUOTE="Oldpowerlifter, post: 80040, member: 16351"] I have a clarification after being on phone with a variety of Quest labs people...the male panel on the lab sheet is my doctors specific custom request for his forms. Quest wouldn't tell me if it's standard E2 or ultra sensitive, so I'll have to ask him today. I have a few different doctors who do labs just to keep tabs on me despite them treating me for different medical issues. One obviously uses the Roche on Labcorp. Today I will find out which Quest the other one uses. And I have to hope not to offend either of them by saying "hey I read on TRT forums that the standard test for women isn't accurate and I may be on way too high a dose of adex...so we can we please do ultra sensitive from now on?" I found my old lab from when we did bump up my adex from .5 3x week to 1mg 3x week. It was 4 years ago after a Labcorp Roche method put my E2 at 59, which despite having no sides I thought I needed to get it down to the low 20s per another forum that preaches low to mid 20s is the money spot. But if it wasn't an accurate 59 I may have smashed my E2 levels. However multiple labs since then had it in low 20s from Quest so I thought it was good to go, but if it's the standard E2 and not ultra sensitive maybe it was lower than 20 since that other thread said Roche often over shoots what the actual E2 level is. Making me think i was still doing the right thing with the big adex dose. As for preventative labs being covered - the insurance couldn't define that. Just said on my plan once a year (according to Obama Care she mentioned?) I can get a yearly checkup that all labs, immunizations, x-rays, associated tests are covered in full regardless of cost. But no definition other than that. So it's a roll of dice but I need some good labs so gotta take the chance. After that if I need to keep checking E2 maybe I will look into the discounted labs it seems guys on here use. Because for rest of year any labs I do I have to pay 20% of, and without knowing what they charge insurance companies for labs 20% might be outrageous. [/QUOTE]
