[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 114619"] Well when it comes to your Estradiol, it is something you really shouldn't guess at or want a ballpark figure on. I will share with you my personal experience on it. In May of this year I had both test run. My non-sensitive estradiol, the Roche ECLIA methodology came in at 91.0 pg/ml. The estradiol sensitive test, the LC/MS/MS assay, came in at 35.3 pg/ml. Quite a bit more than a 10 point difference. Had I used the Roche ECLIA of 91.0 and taken 10 points off of it and been treated at 81 and I would have been screwed. Some doctor would have prescribed some huge dose of an AI. Before you know it I would have crashed my estradiol and been in bad shape. You DO NOT want to crash your estradiol. So so I would have to call BS on just adjusting the Roche ECLIA by 10 points. I do not understand why anyone would take that chance with their health and well being. Some people in countries outside the US don’t have the sensitive test available, but if it is available it should be used. [/QUOTE]
