Great info. Thanks for sharing man. Next time I get bloods it will be thru labsmd.

Here is some info I found on the different types of testing.(copied from another forum) Quest Diagnostics uses the LC/MS to run the Estradiol, Ultrasensitive. This may be why they don't have the erroneously high E2 results that some are getting with LabCorp which I believe uses the ECLIA method.

RIA Direct.
It’s cheap, fast, but not very accurate. Recent studies have been calling into question the use of RIA direct methodology to measure free testosterone . Unfortunately, most labs across the country only use RIA direct because of its cost effectiveness. LabCorp, the lab I used, only measures free T using RIA direct. Despite the criticisms levied at RIA direct tests, many researchers believe it’s an adequate method for routine tests.

ECLIA Method.
When I tested myself for total testosterone for my experiment, the method the lab used was ECLIA, short for Electrochemiluminescent Immunoassay. It’s a fast and affordable method to measure total testosterone in your blood. Many labs use this method because it’s automatic and doesn’t require too much work on a lab technician’s part. However, some studies have shown that values obtained with ECLIA are significantly higher compared to the more reliable LC/MS method. Which brings me to…

LC/MS Method.
LC/MS is short for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. It’s considered the gold standard method by many researchers in measuring small molecules. Its accuracy and consistency is why the CDC is recommending LC/MS to be the standard method used when testing total testosterone. Because LC/MS is more sensitive than ECLIA, doctors typically use this method when testing patients with really low testosterone levels, such as women and children. While it’s more accurate and sensitive, the LC/MS method is more expensive than ECLIA. And it takes a bit longer to get your results.

Hey man I'm having the same trouble right now. Lab were sent to the mentioned above.

Running 750mg Sust a week
450 Tren a week
75mg a day anavar
3iu Matrixtropin HGH per day

Test lvl was greater than 1500
Estrogen was 2056!!!! Wtf?!
Started running Aromasin today 12.5mg Ed.

Has anyone tested the progestin and prolactin from this lab? And if so how have the results compared?

I was goin to run the AI for 2-3 weeks then retest everything.

what i would like to know is if any of these guys were experiencing any other symptoms of elevated E or was it just the test readings..

I just finished a cut cycle with low test and tren at 75 a day and masteron at 50 a day. Here were the noteworthy highlights.

1. Test came in at end of cycle lab at 2600 plus.
2. I ran .5 adex every 3 days and had no gyno problems what so ever up until my last week.
3. Coincidentally this was the week that my mast ran out so I finished with just the prop and tren. (I was using a blend to start with).
4. After the masteron dried up my gyno flared immediately.
5. Caber at .5 every three days (Prolactin levels came back at .1 which is well below the low side of the spectrum at 4)
6. Estradiol came back at 842!!!!
7. I experienced the typical anxiety with tren but mood swings were off the charts and emotions were that of a little bitch! That is a big question to ask here with this post. How were your emotions in conjunction with the so called high estradiol. This to is a legit gauge to measure whether or not the test from the lab is legit. For me I absolutely believe the test as I have never not been able to control my emotions. Glad I live alone!

Later in the week I will post my labs and cycle. I manage to cut about 6% body fat with relative ease and moderate paleo diet with a little bit of Viking wisdom in the food department. Also cardio played a huge role and I rarely burned less than 1000 calories per work out at 5 days a week.

C.H.

Guys forgive me if this is stupid because I really don't know shit when it comes to this but I read somewhere that they're mixing estrogen with the newer fina pellets nowadays. Could sources be using these new fina pellets in their brew and that in turn causing the high E readings?? I'm probably way off base here so someone please feel free to drop some knowledge on my ass, lol

There is talk around (google) about how tren skews the estrogen tests that most labs use. I myself tested this with labcorp. Was running some decent tren and LOW test and had 4xx e2! anything near 100 i get bad nips issues so thought something was wrong. i let the tren clear (ace) and went back and tested using same # of tren and same lil bit of ai and e2 was 3x (30 something).

i dont understand the science sorry to say.

Appreciate this post MegaT.

No disrespect to V(z)ewi but I'm not convinced by his explanation. Burning fat and leaving estrogen behind? At these INSANE levels? Why aren't there any sides? This sounds completely wacked. I don't even have that much body fat on me. I've read that estrogen can be stored in fat, and fat has more estrogen receptors... etc. I just don't see the link here. None of us are showing any real sides of VERY high levels of e2.

When my e2 was legit spiking, my nipples were itchy, I had some tenderness in breast tissue. My libido was low... my erections weren't the greatest. That was from real aromatase caused by TNE.

@BillyGoat: if your e2 levels were actually that high, forget the tits, you are on the fast track of male to female hormone therapy. Next stop, lipstick and heels bud.

As more results are posted.... Its clearly evident that this is Labcorp's fault. And these aren't real e2 levels..

I encourage anyone who is on tren, and had their e2 levels tested not using Labcorps ECLIA.... to post results. Then we can develop a real conclusion here.

I use LabCorp for my tests. I ran into this problem with a blood test back on March 28th. At the time, I was running Tren E 700mg/wk Tren A 350mg/wk EQ and Mast E at 525mg/wk each. I was running Clomid at 25mg/day, and I think I was also running 100mg/day Var. The last inject of Test was 125mg Test C around the 3rd week of Feb, so that was out of my system. I wasn't running any ai. My e2 came back at 1107! I posted about this on several boards, and maybe here, too. Everyone was like "Bro, your tren or eq is really testosterone!". Of course, that didn't make any sense since I know what test feels like, I didn't have any estro sides, and even if it was test, 1107 is not realistic. So I began to think maybe it was the clomid, or maybe my tren had estro in it. I got another blood test on May 16th, after I'd dropped the clomid, and had been off Tren for 5 weeks. At that point, I was only on EQ and Deca at a gram/wk each. I still wasn't using any testosterone. I also wasn't using any orals other than Aromasin at 12.5mg/eod or e3d. My e2 came back at a more reasonable 74.6. So, I'd say it's probably LabCorp's testing method. I should also mention that on that last blood test, my testosterone level came back >1500 with only EQ and Deca in my blood. I've read somewhere that some tests can't tell the difference between EQ and Test, but that's another subject.
