[QUOTE="madman, post: 247841, member: 13851"] You had your lab work done through Quest! Bet your results would have been different if you chose a lab that has had its sensitive estradiol assay certified through CDC HoSt. If you have no issues with elevated CRP or have not driven your estradiol into the ground from the overuse of an AI then the standard assay should suffice. If you choose to rely on what would be considered the most accurate assay (LC/MS-MS) then you would need to use a specific lab such as Mayo, LabCorp, or ARUP as said assay has been .certified through the CDC Hormone Standardization Program. [B][I]* the participating assays are bench-marked to a higher-order reference method and calibrator[/I][/B] For reassurance ask upfront before your order the assay!
