    Not only that, but deca can interfere with the T levels measured by the labs, showing a higher number than what u actually have, so u can't dial in the protocol properly.

    It can skew ECLIA values, but not LC-MS/MS.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Yes, that's correct. However ECLIA is cheaper and more often used, in my country I haven't found a lab that has LC-MS. So I can't even do sensitive E2.

    Many of the Drs. here in the US use ECLIA as well unless you can get them to code it for LC-MS/MS testing.
