It's an excellent test that goes down to 5 IU/ml. Many here use it.

It's an excellent test and you are lucky to have a doctor who would order it for you without being asked. Some of us have had to beg for that specific test because our doctors were out of date and using the older much less sensitive tests.

Sounds like you did well with doctor selection!
