[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 207243, member: 38109"] I'm pretty sure at least one of the tests is fouled up. These mass spectrometry-based tests, while capable of high accuracy, are also temperamental and easy to screw up. My understanding is that the free testosterone measurement is linked to the total in this methodology. So if the total is fouled up then both results end up wrong. It's interesting that the ratio of free to total testosterone is about the same for the two different dates. It's also telling that estradiol didn't vary much. Under the circumstances lab error is more plausible than some unusual combination of dosing errors and metabolic changes. [/QUOTE]
