[QUOTE="madman, post: 193020, member: 13851"] Again to be clear when it comes to testing it is critical to use the same lab, the same assay (most accurate), and testing at the true trough. You have no idea where your FT truly sat on your current/previous protocols as you had it tested using 2 different methods (direct immunoassay, calculated) using 2 different labs let alone we have no idea if testing was done at the true trough. Top it off that you did not have it tested using the most accurate assays (ED or UF) so we have no idea where your FT level truly sat. Regarding e2 you had it tested at Quest using LC/MS-MS (most accurate) and it was high because your FT is on the high end and your FT may very well be much higher than you think. Yes you had your e2 tested using an accurate assay which was a smart move and I never stated that it was useless.....keep in mind that [B]Labcorp has been certified with the CDC HoSt program[/B].....[U][B]Quest has not[/B][/U]! I was talking about your FT and unless you had it tested using the same lab, same assay (most accurate), and at the true trough then it is a waste of time to compare let alone rely upon! Your e2 is high so no need to retest unless you want to compare. I would be more concerned with knowing where your FT level truly sits! [/QUOTE]
