[QUOTE="YBWV, post: 138432, member: 32335"] Don't get too caught up in the whole "sensitive" E2 testing issue. You have what's available to you - immunoassay - snd that's more than good enough (I've had ~30 tests in London over the last 20 years and have found the E2 results to be both consistent and instructive). My strong advice, as others have said, is [B]don't [/B]take any AIs based on your Labs and an apparent lack of sensitivity. Overall you've got quite high levels of all the sex hormones, which is fine as long as all are in balance. Your FT is >2% of TT which is great news. Your most recent E2 number is high(ish) and the most noticeable change from your earlier Labs is that then your E2 was ~0.2% of your TT and now it's ~0.4% of TT, which is high. Some of that difference could be explained by inconsistencies but it's a big swing. Did you increase hCG or introduce anything new between the two draws. The other two issues with sexual function, from a hormone perspective, are DHT and prolactin. DHT doesn't appear on the Labs you posted; many panels don't include DHT (but should in my view). Healthy eugonadal men convert T to DHT at ~10% which would indicate for you a DHT level of around 4.2 nmol/L (120 ng/dl). That will be "above range", as are your other hormones, and would balance well your high(ish) E2. Last, but not least, Sex. Is your new g/f practicing Kegels and really using it during intercourse. Overcomes "lack of sensitivity", helps you get off and most women really like the sensation too. [/QUOTE]
