when I read on some american sites about what blood tests are good to take, the last time I got blood tests here they didn't have some of the exact tests available

maybe it was just the clinic I went to? estradiol was one that I remember they didn't have specifically offered, they had "estrogen" but from what I read before the test should say "estradiol" or else it is testing a whole mix of estrogens, is that correct?

have any of you had a test for estradiol?

I have had Estradiol tested before, the Dr. needs to write it in under the "Other Tests" section. However, I do not believe we have the E2 test here like the US. Also the reference range for Estradiol here is far too wide for Men but you can rest assured if your levels are close to the top of the range, it needs to be lowered.

Not sure if it is lab related or province related, or maybe doc related....I have everything under the sun on mine, weird things like dhea, shbg, Etc..I have estradiol and many other great things, psa, customer paid though, free test, also custie paid...Estradiol is right in there, In my experience it ranges from labs to labs.....And what your doc will write in there, but again, some have to be paid by client.....most are done through the healthcare provider though...;)
Just got my sheets yesterday.....As well as an ecg, and echocardiogram to check left ventricle hypertrophy...FREE!!!
