E2/Estradiol Sensitive vs Estradiol for BW

[IceMan31611]

I remember reading that it's important to have E2/Estradiol Sensitive reading if you're running Tren because that can give a false elevated reading, but I'll be running a Test only cycle. For pre/mid/post cycle BW, would I be fine with just the Estradiol reading? The Female Hormone Panel test is about half the price of the hormone panel that includes E2/Estradiol sensitive reading. I want to make sure I get all of the data for my BW that I need without dropping hundreds on Blood tests (if it can be avoided). Any suggestions on exactly which tests to run at each stage?

Standard estradiol is not accurate in men and will tend to read higher than normal. Not always but this is it's tendency. An E2 Sensitive is always the first choice if possible. I think it's about $40 at Discounted Labs unless the price went up.

Instead of me listing them, take a few minutes and read the Successful First Cycle thread (sticky) at the top of this forum. It addresses all phases of blood work.

Glad you intend on doing things correctly! It's important.

Only early this year there was FDA approval for this test, and this will launch its commercialization in the rest of the world, but it will take several years: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...300626804.html

That's all I run, the female hormone panel. It tells you everything you need to know.
