[QUOTE="Gianluca, post: 270672, member: 15469"] [USER=15043]@Gman86[/USER] I have always been using LabCorp for all my Progesterone tests for years, and I always used the same test method, which should be the Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). Range is .0ng/ml to .5ng/ml as today. Obviously here in the US There have been many men I have seen on TRT throughout my journey finding their Progesterone at the bottom range at .1ng/ml, and I believe the test method used was the same as mine. As you probably know, I have experienced with different dosages of Pregnenolone as well, showing and increase in Progesterone from my baseline of .1ng/ml. The different reference range of the LC/MS needs to take into account. As you wrote, your LC/MS from Quest range for Progest is .3ng/ml or below. As you mentioned, using this test method would show a lower result in ng/ml compared the non sensitive, because the ref range. Based on your and Cataceous anecdote, as I do not think we have more, I honesty think I have the same issue I have with the Testosterone, I just do not absorb well subQ. I would be curios to know [USER=44064]@FunkOdyssey[/USER] results on the 1.5mg, so that we have more anecdotes about how a certain dose of injectable Progesterone effect levels in the blood. My doc initially wrote the rx for 5mg injected subQ daily, but start with 2/3mg and see how I do with it. I thought it was way too much to start with, but Looking at my result, it seems it was right to start at this dosages for me. [/QUOTE]
