[QUOTE="Simon7, post: 127946, member: 14795"] Hi krm, where I live we also don't have the sensitive LC/MS test for E2, only the ECLIA. What I used to do is aim for E2 in the range of 150-200 pmol/l, which is slightly higher than the upper E2 range for men. This way even if the test is falsely higher, I am still in a good range. And if not, I'm a little high than normal, which is better than being low on E2. Recently I contacted the the local lab directly and asked if they are any plans to implement LC/MS E2 tests. They said that there are no plans for LC/MS but that they have a sensitive E2 test for kids which I can take. So I've been doing the sensitive E2 test since then and I feel comfortable aiming for the 75-115 pmol/l range (which is 20-30 pg/ml). So I suggest you do the same and contact the lab directly as the doctors I've talked with never heard of this option. [/QUOTE]
