Which estradiol test

[Evom1]

Hey guys, if you're ordering just estradiol to check during a cycle, what test specifically do you order?

I'm seeing these two:
Estradiol
Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS

Isn't the ultra sensitive for the 19-nor group?
So nandrolone & trenbolone...

Ultra takes about a week longer for results.Even if not on nand or tren it's more accurate by 3-9 points.

Current cycle is test/primo/deca

Meaning if you're using nandrolone you'd want to use the ultra sensitive?

Meaning if you're using nandrolone you'd want to use the ultra sensitive?

Yes.

Of interest, I always thought the basic test was sufficient for testosterone and other non 19 nors. But apparently lc/MS is recommended for males regardless.

Yes, if using nandrolone or tenbolone you need the ultra sensitive.

The lady at mdprivatelabs told me lc/ms was the test for uncapped testosterone.

No, ultrasensitive one uses it too. Per link above and this one. Apparently the basic e2 can overestimate it.

LCMS is for uncapped test testosterone, its also used to prevent cross reactivity between testosterone and other anabolics.

ECLIA testosterone may pickup things like nandrolone. Assuming it would do so with other anabolics.
